Evaluation
Onee Chanbara ORIGIN launched on Steam on October 14, 2020 as a complete package — a full HD remake of the first two games in the series, released to celebrate the franchise's 15th anniversary. All 96 DLC items (costumes, weapons, missions, and music tracks) were made available on launch day, October 14, 2020, with no additional DLC released afterward and none listed as unreleased. The only post-launch developer communication specific to this game was a bug fix patch on November 13, 2020 addressing crash and performance issues. Since then, the developer's news channel has focused entirely on other titles (Abyss of the Sacrifice, Ed-0: Zombie Uprising, Samurai Maiden, and Full Metal Schoolgirl). There have been no announcements of additional content, roadmaps, or future updates for Onee Chanbara ORIGIN. The game launched as a finished product with a large DLC catalog released simultaneously, and there is no evidence of any ongoing or planned development.

About this game
To commemorate the 15th anniversary of the sword fighting action game series Onee Chanbara, the events of THE Onee Chanbara and THE Onee Chanbara 2 have been completely remade in full HD!
The story of Aya and Saki, two sisters bound by mutual hatred and locked in a brutal fight to the death, has been revived and Leimagined.
Main character designer Katsumi Enami breathes new life into the characters, making this silky-smooth 60fps high-speed action game an unmissable treat.
All shall be revealed in this recreated re-release of the games that started it all in Onee Chanbara OrThe Story
In the year 20XX AD, Tokyo is nothing but a dystopic wasteland overrun by living corpses known as the Undead. Here we find two sisters who descend from a long line of expert swordsmen, yet were born to different mothers. The elder sister, Aya, was raised by her father, who subjected her to rigorous training in the way of the blade. Meanwhile, the younger sister, Saki, was raised by her mother, learning to despise her father for abandoning them and taking her sister away.
When her father goes missing, Aya decides to put her skills with the sword to use as an Undead-hunter. Upon her beloved mother's murder, Saki becomes consumed to the point of insanity with a desperate thirst for revenge, resorting to manipulating the Undead to achieve her goal.
Aya resolves to seek out her younger sister, her only surviving relation, while Saki is determined to resurrect her mother using an ancient art passed down through the ages. This art, however, requires the heart of a blood relative to work, meaning that the younger sister must kill the elder if she is to have her sworn vengeance.
And so, amidst a swirling storm of love, hate, and intrigue, the battle between the two sisters begins!
