History VideoGame / Onmyoji2016

** The game itself is a bit of a doozy with this. For starters, the in-game wanted missions or achievements specify their demands for the player to ''knock-out'' enemies, rather than killing them. But on the flip side of the coin, eliminated shikigami and onmyoji are marked with a giant "Dead" tag on the status bar.

* RankInflation: Shikigami rarity run the gamut from N (Normal), to R (Rare), SR (Super Rare), and SSR (Super ''Super'' Rare). And then there's SP, which is supposedly short for ''[[TheLastOfTheseIsNotLikeTheOthers Special]]'', of all things.

* {{Bishonen}}: The game has enough to qualify as CastFullOfPrettyBoys.

* LongTitle: The developers had to go with the OverlyLongName for this game since ''Onmyōji'' is a title trademarked by Baku Yumemakura, author of an unrelated novel of the same name. Note that this is only the case in Japan; the original name is kept in all other localizations.

* CameraScrew: The game's camera is entirely inadequate, even for a turn-based RPG. It's permanently locked on to a fixed point in the centre of the battlefield and you can only rotate it around that point. The real problem is that you can't zoom it in or out, meaning during some bigger battles where you have more shikis on your team they don't all fit on the screen at once so you will often have to adjust the camera to click on them, and when fighting large enemies the damage numbers will extend off the top of the screen, making it hard to track how much damage you're doing to them. Camera control is done with the same input as selecting targets too (either screen tapping or left mouse clicking) and is quite finicky, meaning you can often end up accidentally targeting the wrong thing when you just wanted to rotate the camera a bit.

''Onmyōji'', or alternatively ''[[OverlyLongTitle Onmyōji Honkaku Gensō RPG]]'', is a Sino-Japanese mobile EasternRPG developed by [=NetEase=] Games, which can be briefly described as the Heian counterpart to ''VideoGame/SengokuBasara''. It features a world where humans and {{Youkai}} coexist and follows the protagonist Abe no Seimei on his quest of restoring peace and order to the land. The game features [[SceneryPorn stunning scenery]], [[{{Bishonen}} beautiful]] character designs, elements of Japanese culture and mythology and a ''[[HollywoodMedievalJapan highly]] [[JidaiGeki inaccurate]]'' portrayal of history. Well, it's a fantasy game, after all. In 2018, a spin-off MultiplayerOnlineBattleArena game entitled ''Kessen! Heian-kyō'' has been released, which features a number of characters from the original game. A [[TheMusical musical adaptation]], ''Heian Emaki'', was also performed in Japan in March of the same year; another musical entitled ''Ōezan-hen'' was announced in May 2019.

This page provides tropes on the game's storyline, characters as well as mechanics for ''both'' the original game and the MOBA spin-off. '''All tropes relating to specific characters go on the [[Characters/{{Onmyoji}} character page]]'''.

** BlackAndWhiteMorality: The conflict between the young Seimei and [[spoiler:Minamoto no Yorimitsu]], on the other hand, veers straight into this territory. For more information, check the [[Characters/{{Onmyoji}} Characters]] page.

* LongTitle: The developers had to go with the OverlyLongName for this game since ''Onmyōji'' is a title trademarked by Baku Yumemakura, author of an unrelated novel of [[NamesTheSame the same name]]. Note that this is only the case in Japan; the original name is kept in all other localizations.
