If you have a fondness for classics like Ninja Gaiden and Strider then you'll love the ninja action in Oniken.Oniken gameplay video → Odallus: The Dark Call Review Xbox One ★★★★☆ You can't get much more old-school than playing as a muscular sword-wielding warrior who fights demons so let's check out Odallus. JoyMasher took what made Oniken great and basically adapted it to a slower and more deliberate pace for Odallus.

After every punishing stage I finished in Oniken, I felt completely drained; my nerves shot. I would force myself to take a break, jumping into a less emotionally taxing game before heading back. That feeling clearly won’t be for everyone and the game’s over-the-top violence will definitely scare off some gamers. However, the personal satisfaction that comes from finishing each of the game’s stages cannot be overstated. Oniken: Unstoppable Edition is meant for a certain kind of NES fan; those that revel in that sort of old-school challenge will find little else like it on Switch. Nintendojo was provided a copy of this game for review by a third party, though that does not affect our recommendation.

With Oniken, what you see is what you get, and your first impression of the game is probably spot on. If you miss your friendly, Tecmo ninja man, you might want to give this one a look. For everyone else, leave this one in 20XX.

Oniken is a faithful reproduction of something that wasn't very good to begin with.

Considering how this version is also double the pricepoint of the original Steam version for some baffling reason, I think you should definitely wait for the patch and maybe even a sale on this one if you’re remotely interested. You can have a decent enough time once you’re able to get past all this, but it’s still not an excuse for how the port came out this way, especially since this game has a lot of great ideas buried within.
