Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines

Overview

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a 2014 role-playing video game developed by Alfa System and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation Vita. It is the sequel to the 1999 PlayStation game Ore no Shikabane o Koete Yuke which Alfa System previously developed.

Unlike the original 1999 PlayStation game, the sequel has characters fully rendered in 3D. The labyrinth levels are also rendered in 3D, with a fixed camera. The game system is similar to the style of the original game, with basic enemy encounters, and decreased character strength upon running. The game utilises the PlayStation Vita's camera using a face recognition mechanism.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is set 100 years after its predecessor, with no direct story connections between the two games. The story is based on a cursed bloodline destined to fight against a demon.

The game was first briefly introduced in 2011 in the form of a teaser; further information relating to the game was revealed at the Tokyo Game Show in 2013.

Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines received generally favorable reviews from critics, earning aggregate scores of 76% from GameRankings and 78/100 from Metacritic.
