History VideoGame / Onigiri

* TheArcher: Shizuka makes use of a bow when she assists you in battle. The Player can also make good use of these.

''Onigiri'' is a Japanese MMORPG created by Cyberstep. It was launched in the summer of 2014 and has a decent sized player base. Around 2015 the game got a UsefulNotes/{{PS4}} and UsefulNotes/XBoxOne release as well, having their own servers.

* ForcedLevelGrinding: This is due to the fact that the exp gain is reduced to 20% of what a player would normally get. In the Japanese version(Normal EXP gain), there's no problem until the mid 40s, where grinding is needed. In the US version(Reduced to 20%), you are forced to grind even before reaching level 10. And to gain a decent amount of exp, you have to enter dungeons that are 15-20+ levels higher than yours, where enemies can [[OneHitKill one-shot]] you.

** RareRandomDrop: Some items have a ''less than 1% chance'' to appear (and often times, you'll need these for certain quests). However, repeated daily log-ins can increase the drop chance, alongside a RandomDropBooster that can be obtained in-game.

** Outside of weapons, there's also a quest to defeat an assortment of insects bothering an NPC. It's name? "You need some [[VideoGame/{{Pokemon}} Repel]]".

* ObviousBeta: From Izumo onwards there are happenings such as sidequest characters dialogue untranslated and sparsely populated cities such as Kyoto.

* {{Crossover}} / TheCameo: One of the limited time events had a character from one of CyberStep's other games, Cosmic League, looking for certain items. Helping her not only got you a free unique weapon (potentially two if you play your cards right), but you can even summon her as a party member. A later event brought another character from Cosmic League, allowing you to build one of her weapons and even recruit her.

* EvolvingAttack: Skills in the game work on a rank system of 1 through 10, each rank allowing the skill to be leveled up to ten times per rank. Once you [[spoiler: recruit Momotarou, he]] will upgrade the skills of identified weaponry. However, it's random as to which skills on a weapon can be upgraded a rank. You can also upgrade the lowest ranked or a random skill on a weapon via Yoshitune's Smelting option once its level has been upgraded to a multiple of 10. (10, 20, 30, and so on--- it's signified by a lock.) What fulfills the "Evolving" part of this is that as the rank increases and the damage goes up, the animation of the skill changes up as well.

* TheAnimeOfTheGame: Has several anime shorts that began airing in April 2016. Also there's a manga-adaptation on the official site.
* TheArcher: Shizuka makes use of a bow when she assists you in battle. The Player can also make good use of these.
* TheBeastMaster: Upon clearing a certain quest, you can summon your own little Youkai to assist in battle.
* TheRival: Momotarou has a one sided rivalry with the player character.

* TheGadfly: Benkei proves to be this, not only showing a very lackadaisical attitude, but even ribbing Yoshitsune on her relations with the player character, much to her own consternation.

* {{Youkai}}: Makes up the general bulk of the enemies you'll fight in the game. They're all faithfully represented in looks, mannerisms and attacks.

* BladeOnAStick: Spear weapons often come with HerdHittingAttack skills, perfect for taking on plenty of enemies. The merchant Miroku will make use of this.

Not to be mistaken for the Japanese rice ball.

* {{Fanservice}}: In spades. Equal opportunity fanservice, in fact, with pretty girls ''and'' handsome guys--for instance, Ibaraki-douji is a pretty young woman with [[BuxomIsBetter fairly large breasts]] and [[{{Stripperific}} an extremely revealing outfit]], while Susanoo is a cute {{bishonen}} with a muscular build and [[WalkingShirtlessScene an aversion to wearing shirts]].

* AnAxeToGrind: Recruiting storyline character Hiraga Gennai has her wield one of these. You can get plenty of intimidating ones as well. Oddly, Ibaraki-Douji has one in the anime, but has a cat-paw sword in the game.

* {{Stripperific}}: Ibaraki-Douji wears very little. And that's not even getting into the various clothing options the player character has. On the enemy's side, the butterfly-themed [[DarkSkinnedBlonde Uzume]] fits the bill.

* [[BowAndSwordInAccord Bow and]] [[DualWielding Twin Swords]] [[BowAndSwordInAccord in Accord]]: This is a viable option, due to both weapons being powered by the same stat, but becomes much harder to keep up once you start to focus on character optimisation.

* {{Kitsune}}: Aside from clothing options to give your character an appearance like this, there's Izuna in Kyoto, a young fox whom wants to make friends. Helping her out earns her as a partner character. Much later into the story you help piece Tamamo-no-Mae back together.

* SchizoTech: The game is said to be set in an alternate Japan, yet one where automatons, trains, and plenty of other modern items are commonplace. An anime short displays this blatantly--- anti-Kamikui ''laser defenses!''

* StandardStatusEffects: Poison, Freeze, Paralysis, Stun, and Burn.

** An axe-class weapon is basically called [[{{Anime/Slayers}} the Dragonslave.]]

* BoozeBasedBuff: Once you get Ibaraki-Douji on your team, she will provide a bevy of alcoholic beverages that provide a wide array of buffs, increased damage and health restoration being two examples. On the enemy's side, the Nue enemy appears to get this once its health drops below a certain point.

** TheOnlyOneAllowedToDefeatYou: He even tells Susanoo that he alone has dibs on dealing with the Player Character, and that even a god such as him is a target.

* {{Altitis}}: Actually encouraged, as having multiple characters at certain level milestones unlocks bonuses.

* ElementalPowers: Most skills have an element attached to them (ex. [[MakingASplash Water Dragon Spear]], [[KillItWithFire Phoenix's Slash]], [[RazorWind Tornado Drop]]).

* {{Kitsune}}: Aside from clothing options to give your character an appearance like this, there's Izuna in Kyoto, a young fox whom wants to make friends. Helping her out earns her as a partner character.
* LevelLockedLoot: Aside from weapons, magatama beads have both a minimum level requirement and chakra requirement. You do gain chakra through leveling up, though the amount tends to be randomized.

* {{Oni}}: The race of your character, as well as some other characters like Ibaraki-Douji. However, the leader of Onigashima (the starting town) implies there's more to you than meets the eye.....

* BossInMookClothing: The Field Bosses found in the fields preceding the town of Kaga (Kikaigahara to Nether Sekigahara) take this to a literal degree --- they're mooks from later areas of the game, given a large level and stat increase. They're more than capable of curb-stomping unprepared players, but managing to kill them will grant your player a lot of experience, money, and numerous items ranging from money boxes and friendship items to random magatama. Just managing to land a few hits on them can give you the money and item rewards, assuming a stronger player is assisting.

* SwitchOutMove: Recent updates have introduced the Vanguard Swap system--- with certain partners summoned onto the field, as you damage and kill foes, a gauge fills up. Once the gauge fills, pressing the assigned key will let you swap into controlling the partner character. After a certain amount of time passes, you will switch back to your character. You will get fully healed upon switching.
