While game retains the action elements from previous Onimusha, it offers a more varied amount of weapons as well as the option of going back to previous stage to unlock new content. The game also introduces a 3D camera as well as the ability to continuously fight alongside AI controlled characters who move depending on the player's orders. Dawn of Dreams was announced by Capcom due to high fan demand and several Capcom members realizing they could expand the action elements from Onimusha after working in Shadow of Rome. The game was designed in order to appeal to skilled gamers rather than the general market which resulted in appealing designs rather than realistic.Show more

Onimusha as a franchise is probably my favorite ever made and this game is the PEAK of Onimusha, I've never experienced a better game than this one in my childhood, so it'd be cool to have Onimusha games on GOG

Onimusha is one of my favorite franchises since I was a kid (imagine my shock at Way of the Sword announcement lol, deep down I always believed it would come back), there's nothing quite like the pacing of action and exploration in this game (maybe Ninja Gaiden Black,) and when it comes to my favorites, I have a hard time picking between 3 and Dawn of Dreams, but in the end I think I had the best time with Dawn of Dreams, I completed it so many times, including the unlockables doin Dark Realm for all characters, even if I lost the save I would simply shrug and do it all over again because I loved it so much. Even though I don't have a ps2 anymore I still kept the game. As it turns out emulating it isn't Ideal because of some strange enemy behaviours that makes it not a precise experience of what this game truly offers, so I believe voting for a port would be the best.
I genuinely dislike this game I think it's one of the worst games in the series but I am voting for it because I do not want to see the series die again. I'm willing to support any port of Dawn of Dreams just so that we can keep getting something out of this series. With Way of the Sword and now a remaster of Onimusha 2 both on the way I just want to see this series thrive again and maybe with a possible remaster of Dawn of Dreams they could do some quality of life similar to what they've done with Onimusha: Warlords HD and will be doing with Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny HD.

The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker
The Legend of Zelda: The Wind WakerThe Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker is the 10th sequel of the Legend of Zelda action-adventure series. It's the first game of the series to be set on a group of islands in the sea. Therefore, many of Link's actions base on sailing and travelling from island to island, making a baton for controlling the wind the key item of the game. Wind Waker is the first game of the Series with a cel-shaded graphic style. Since fans expected a Zelda game with realistic graphics like being shown at the Space World in 2000, the cel-shading look was critisized and discussed controversial for being too cartoonish.

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.
