MadWorld (2009)
Genres:Hack and slash/Beat 'em up
Themes:Action, Horror, Sandbox
Game modes:Single player
Story:"MadWorld is a unique action game experience with two signature characteristics:
An eye-catching, monochromatic visual style that’s yet to be matched; and sense-shattering, bone-shredding violence.
Experience a unique blend of brutality, humor and madness in a graphic novel-style world that’s black and white and blood-red all over.
In sharp contrast to what you’ve come to expect on the Wii, MadWorld was available in American and European markets almost a full year before it was finally allowed in Japan."Show more

This is my favorite game of all time. I literally would have my life fulfilled if this got a PC port. It's gotten me through the absolute worst times of my life even if noone really talks about it these days. Jack Cayman my beloved forever and ever.
MadWorld was a fun time, a gem on the Wii. Stunning artstyle, fun gameplay, the works. More people should experience it but how would a PC port work, considering the emphasis on motion controls? The mechanics would need restructuring.
This game and Anarchy Reigns really deserved better, it pains me that it's so forgotten. There's no other games whee the ost is only rap from the most underground of artists, nor are there any where the entire thing is in black and white. I need this game to escape the Wii and for SEGA to acknowledge it.
Why MadWorld Needs to Be on GOG – A Cult Classic with Killer Soundtrack and Style
MadWorld is one of the boldest, most stylish action games ever made, and it absolutely deserves a spot on GOG. Originally released for the Wii in 2009, it combined over-the-top violence with slick black-and-white comic book visuals, a thumping hip-hop soundtrack, and fluid, brutal gameplay that made it stand out from anything else on the market.
Developed by PlatinumGames (Bayonetta, Metal Gear Rising), MadWorld throws you into a dystopian game show where survival means being the most creative killer in the arena. You play as Jack Cayman, a chainsaw-wielding antihero whose every move bleeds style and aggression. Whether you're slamming enemies into spike walls or turning everyday objects into deadly weapons, the combat is fast, satisfying, and endlessly entertaining.
But what really elevates MadWorld is its soundtrack. With original rap and hip-hop tracks from artists like Ox, Sick YG, and Bandy Leggz, the music energizes every moment, blending perfectly with the chaos on screen. It's one of the most underrated game soundtracks ever — raw, loud, and unforgettable.
Bringing MadWorld to GOG would not only help preserve this cult classic, but also introduce it to a new generation of PC gamers who missed out the first time. With no DRM and full controller support, MadWorld could finally get the second life it deserves on a platform built for game lovers. Stylish, violent, and cool as hell — it’s time for Jack to chainsaw his way onto GOG.

Onechanbara OriginOnee Chanbara Origin is the newest addition to the "Onechanbara" hack and slash series as its known as in the west. The series is known for some mistranslations from its original Japanese language to western language. The title of the series is portmanteau of the words "onee-chan" which means "big sister" and "chanbara" which means "sword fighting" which the story follows the eldest sister Aya from the start of the series accompanied by her younger sister Saki as they attempt to bring back their mother Tsubaki but learn their Baneful Blood clan heritage and the truth behind it. Onee Chanbara Origin is prequel to the events of Bikini Samurai Squad long before the events of Z2: Chaos story long and the ZPF was formed.
Onee Chanbara Origin is a remake of the story from the first two games in the series which were never published to the western audience within a new engine and new art style to accompany multiple returning features from the previous games redone and tailored to the games improved experience on the series formula.
Returning features to the series is:
Weapon degradation in which they become covered in blood and start losing their effectiveness until wiped clean.
Blood Lust/Blood Frenzy makes a return with some slight changes that improve character damage and speed when activated but also comes with a draw back that can punish players by lowering their defensive capabilities by increasing how much damage they will take if hit.
Berserk mechanic which takes the effects of Blood-Lust even further but also bring one more draw back being that your life force drains at a constant rate and can be replenished by dealing damage and spilling the blood of enemies in combat during this enhanced transformation.
Parry mechanic has received some changes since the previous games and becomes far more useful with being able to nullify an incoming attack and potentially stun the target allowing for quick counter attacks if timed well, parrying to soon or to late will result in being put into a recovery state where you become vulnerable for a brief time.
Dodge/Run mechanic has been improved to recover energy when dodging attacks to allow faster charge up of your Special/Signature attack, Running speeds up your movement while allowing you to re-engage enemies with gap closing attacks that blend into your combo chains this also works with dodging attacks to extend combos or modify attacks.
Infinite Mode makes a return from Bikini Samurai Squad where you can level up and test your skills in increasingly difficult fights as you climb the supposed endless number of floors.
Re-recorded signature OST tracks as well as brand new tracks just for this release to really put the emphasis on the action for the series.
Familiar control scheme that has been very much the staple of the series but with vast improvements with responsiveness and tighter control over movement and combat while keeping this fast and fluid.Action
