One of the very first 3D games I've ever played on my PC. Finished this game so many times I've lost count. The combat system is top notch and innovating, the soundtracks are awesome too, not to mention the characters, especially the main one 😉Rolelu

This is the game that taught me to use WASD as a kid. I also first encountered Oni as a demo included with a magazine subscription CD-ROM. I must have played the included tutorial/warehouse/airport levels dozens of times before asking my dad for the full game. What a blast! Oni having inspiration from GiTS also led me to start watching anime. Years later I dedicated some free time in college to help the modding community and created some HD texture mods too. (I regret not following through with more texture modding work, but it was fun while it lasted) Would love to see this special game get the attention it deserves and to be more available on modern devices. Until then, my holographic physical boxed PC copy will sit on my shelf.

This game was an unexpected gem, i'd never even heard of it until my brother bought for me for my birthday so i had no idea what to expect. Oni without a doubt ended up being one of the greatest and most played games of my childhood, i'd never and still haven't to this day seen another game like it.

I always had a soft spot for these Late 90s-early 2000s Anime inspired FPS/TPS, this along with Shogo nail that vibe. What can i say about the game?, is a pretty fun third person brawler made by the same people who did Halo. a classic.

An absolute banger of a game that ran excellently on PC, with electric combat and a surprisingly compelling plot. Its cyberpunk aesthetic is as in vogue now as it was then, if not more so; Oni is screaming to live on at GOG.

I got this game from my aunt randomly along with some Serious Sam games, and it being the outlier and unique from the bunch got my attention. The combat system was so fun and I thoroughly enjoyed the game. Incredibly fun and engaging on so many levels, highly regret selling the original CD, would love to play it again with full modern system compatibility.

I still have this game in its original box and media to this day! Fantastic. Really hope this game gets updated for current devices, and we can relive this adventure again. I also miss ADVENT RISING by RARE, another great game

This is the first videogame I ever played in my life when we got our own home desktop, and my dad brought home a copy that his work friend had given him. It's the most perfectly flawed game I've ever played in my life, with such robust and surprisingly smooth combat, plus some decent gunplay. But the greatest thing about this game was the cheat codes: using shapeshifter to play any character in the game with their own move sets, reservoirdogs to make every unit turn on each other, and the list goes on and on. My sister and I both dream of playing this game again, and I hope the GOG team can make that a reality ♥

I played the demo of this game when I was really young, and it left quite an impression on me, even though I had no idea where the story was going. This game combines gunplay and beat 'em up mechanics in 3D. An awesome combo unlike many that came before it. And I also like how every enemy follows the same rules as the player, having limited ammo in weapons, and being compatible with the player's inputs (except when enemies self-heal. Screw you, Barabus). All that wrapped up in a dark, gritty, Ghost in the Shell-style atmosphere. Also check out "Metal Arms: Glitch in the System". It has 185 votes at the time of me posting this. www.gog.com/dreamlist/game/metal-arms-glitch-in-the-system-2003

What I can say 24 years after playing Oni, I still remember it and when I hear people talk about cool beat 'em up games, I always think to myself "Oni." It's just one of the best in my opinion. It has a great style and reminded me a lot of Karateka in its cadence. It also had some seriously funny anime-inspired humor moments in it as well. Like when a rogue AI gets out on the web... I don't want to give any spoilers, but you'll have a good chuckle. I'm always surprised when people haven't heard of it. It was a great game and should be inducted into GOG.

...

FreelancerEight hundred years prior to the start of our story, bitter conflict divided all of mankind. A handful of colonists struck out on their own to begin anew - far away from the Earth and its turmoil. Several ships were launched with enough equipment and supplies to give the hundreds onboard a fighting chance - but since the area around far-off Sirius had never been surveyed, no one really knew what to expect. What they found was a new frontier of free-flowing natural resources, unexplored territories, great wonders and lurking dangers. Each ship, representing the clusters of people and their earthly place of origin, settled into different parts of the galaxy pre-selected by their ship-board computer to give them the best chance of survival. Life was hard in the beginning, but over the 800 years the different colonies prospered and expanded their territories, claiming more and more systems for their own. Survival and propagation eventually led to growth and profit as each of the colonies developed specialties and fostered commerce. As the colonies grew and time passed their connections with their roots on Earth dwindled and they lost their memories of the conflicts of the past. Soon their attention was dominated by new, more immediate conflicts. Feelings of lost ancestral connection spurred anachronism in the look of the great cities, and created a somewhat distorted image of each colony's cultural heritage. In the ever-expanding outer edge of the territories, frontier lawlessness prevailed. The Houses: Each shipboard colony that left Earth carried some memory of its origins in its name. The Liberty carried Americans, The Bretonia flew from The United Kingdom and surrounding territory, The Kusari from Asia, and the Rheinland launched with Germanic cargo. As each ship settled and colonies began to expand, they knew little about each other and their advancing development. Finally, little by little, the individual colonies found each other and began to set up trade routes to link their systems for commerce and solidarity. Today, with each colony firmly rooted in its respective corner of the galaxy, the colonies rely heavily on each other for trade and industry but also compete for resources and new territories in the Border Worlds. The colonies mandate member governments in "The New Alliance" within the Sirius sector. To control conflicts, each colony has forged alliances and treaties with others as they have grown. Competition remains fierce, however. Struggles rage for supremacy in business, commerce, resources, power and control. There can be tenuous peace between colonies' political agendas, but the grabs for holdings constantly unsettle the volatile frontier.
