News: A new RPG is now available from a small Square Enix studio that is making games similar to what we remember growing up.

ONINAKI, the latest action-RPG developed by Tokyo RPG Factory, is now available for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4 and Steam, according to Square Enix. ONINAKI is the third title from Tokyo RPG Factory and the studio’s first foray into the action-RPG genre, sustaining the studio’s mission in taking inspiration from classic Japanese role-playing games to create a experience on modern platforms. Following the release of I Am Setsuna in 2016 and LOST SPHEAR in 2018, ONINAKI’s art direction, deep character development, and storyline contribute to a unique, yet familiar JRPG experience.

With supervision by Creative Producer Takashi Tokita (CHRONO TRIGGER®, Parasite Eve), ONINAKI depicts the story of Kagachi, a young Watcher whose duty is to usher Lost Souls into the next world. After meeting a mysterious girl named Linne, his fate becomes entwined with blood and death. Kagachi can unleash the powers of Daemons against his foes, using them to provide unique and powerful skills and abilities during gameplay.

ONINAKI features highly customizable skill trees for each Daemon, fast and engaging action-RPG gameplay mechanics and a mysterious, evolving story. ONINAKI attempts to take players to a whole new world where death is only the beginning.
