Video Game Reviews of Onimusha Tactics
Customer Review: Overly Simplistic, and Terrible Gameplay
Summary: 1 Stars
I will admit this: I only played the game for a total amount of one hour. Why? That was about as long as I could stand playing Onimusha Tactics.
Perhaps I was suckered in by the name "Tactics" in the game title, but I bought the game expecting to play something along the lines of Advance Wars or Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, but when I first started up the game and went through the training mode at the beginning and the first level and second level, I became more and more disgusted with the game.
The main reason I did not like Onimusha Tactics is the dialogue. Since the game story was place in ancient times (from what I could tell from the surroundings and the buildings), I was expecting the main character and others to say more intelligent words than "Awesome!" and "Cool!" when speaking; however, I saw such words interjected time and time again: for example, when Onimaru speaks with his master during the training level. For me, at least, these kinds of inappropriate conversations distract me from being able to immerse myself in the game.
Another thing that bother me was the gameplay. Too Simple and Annoying? Yes, especially right after playing games like FF:T Advance. I was frustrated with having to deal with not being able to play around with my characters, like with their equipment. There is no way to determine who wears what clothing and wields which weapon between battles, and even then, the best I can do is remove the clothing. I was also disappointed with the way the commands worked. They are the simple, generic "Move your character next to an enemy and attack them" kind of spiel, so generally, they were easy to learn. However, it is some of the smaller details that I did not like, like having no confirmation pop up before the end of a character's move (Are you sure? type) and the lack of hit/miss percentages. Not having these basic elements in combat detracts from the gameplay; leaving, what seems to me, an empty shell of what a good turn-based strategy game should be like.
Overall, I bought the game expecting good things, and turned off the game having only bad memmories of what the game lacks, in both the story and the gameplay. The money I spent on this game would have bought me a used copy of the original Advance Wars or a decent RPG: both of these choices would have been a better decision than buying Onimusha Tactics, used or *shudder* brand-new.
