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.

Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie
Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The MovieThe Game Gear version of Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Movie is a competitive fighting game exactly like the original "Game Gear" game based on the TV series, with the same gameplay format and game modes. One change that has been made from the previous is the addition of a thunderbolt-shaped power indicator next to the life gauge that gradually fills up during the course of battle until it begins to flash; during such instances, the player can perform a super move in addition to the standard special moves. The Game Gear version's soundtrack is made up of mostly midi versions of music from the series and Mighty Morphin Power Rangers The Album: A Rock Adventure.
