It’s a shame that the unique elements of Onigo Hunter (monster acquisition, map trimming) have only a marginal impact. You’re left with a generic RPG, the kind that many uninformed associate with the publisher. This game could be comfort food to grab on sale, but there are superior offerings from this publisher.

- 7.0All in all, Onigo Hunter is a KEMCO game and if you’ve played any of those previously, you’ll know what to expect here. There is the good stuff, like the capture and crafting system, and the tedious stuff, like the seemingly endless toing and froing to complete the main quest. Onigo Hunter does just enough to earn a recommendation, mostly as the Monster Catalogue idea is pretty compelling, and catching all of the Onigo will take some time.
- 7.7Onigo Hunter is certainly one of those retro-inspired RPGs that I'll gladly go back to whenever I want a quick fix of an old-school turn-based adventure. Its sense of exploration is superb and it even makes backtracking while completing quests a treat. Huzzah!
