Description (IGDB)
Ore no Shikabane wo Koete Yuke (roughly, "over my dead body,") is a dungeon crawler RPG where the player controls a clan of warriors, cursed to die young, over several generations as they try to defeat the demon that cursed them. Aside from combat, the player must also manage the clans resources, and ensure a new generation is ready to take over when the curse kills their parents. Set in ancient Japan, the game is heavily influenced by traditional Japanese art and mythology.
Histoire (IGDB)
Married warriors Orin and Genta storm Shutenkaku Castle to defeat the oni lord Shutendoji, who threatens Kyoto and has taken their children hostage. Shutendoji kills Genta and their captured elder daughter, but Orin offers herself to Shutendoji if their surviving child is spared. Shutendoji agrees, but places twin curses on the child in secret; the child can only live two years, and can never have children with a mortal. Concerned at Shutendoji's actions, the gods led by Hiruko Taishoten bless the child, giving them the ability to immediately reach adulthood and permission to have children with gods. With these gifts, the family sets out to fight Shutendoji, who is also cursing earthbound gods across Japan. To aid the family, Hiruko joins them in human form as an aide, and a spirit called Kitsuto acts as a self-proclaimed divine messenger. The family undermine Shutendoji's influence across Japan, then successfully assault Shutenkaku Castle and defeat Shutendoji. Shutendoji is revealed to be the cursed physical form of Kitsuto, Hiruko's twin brother born from a union between a human and a goddess. Harbouring resentment against humans for his mortal family's deaths and the gods who imprisoned him as Shutendoji to control an earlier rampage, he enacted his plans to free himself and torment the family of Orin, revealed to be his aunt in human form. The family pursues Kitsuto, who has been using the captured Orin's power to birth his demon army and control the local gods. During their fight Kitsuto merges with Orin, forcing the family to kill them both. Orin regains her divine form, and takes Kitsuto−reborn as a baby−to heaven to raise him as one of the gods. This action lifts the family's curse.

Avis des critiques et joueurs
Critiques de la Presse (Metacritic)
« Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines is a masterful retooling of JRPGs before it, and only a handful of problems hold back an otherwise excellent tale of family, honor, and reclaiming what was lost. »
« It seemed like ages when Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines was first announced and the wait was worth it. At a budget price, Oreshika delivers full price gameplay, graphics, and story which is more than I can say for other titles out there. »
« Despite the fact most of us will never have played the game it's a sequel to, the quality of Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines shines through its gorgeous visuals and deep mechanics. Come to think of it, there's no more fitting way for a game that's about leaving a worthwhile legacy to conduct itself. »
« Though Oreshika isn't the first to try and make an old-school RPG feel new or to make customizable characters feel like a family affair--Fire Emblem: Awakening tried something similar on a smaller scale, for example--it does feel like the first to completely bet the farm on that idea and succeed. »
« The Vita has, much like the PSP before it, become a great home to offbeat JRPG experiences. Oreshika expertly blends a simulation experience with JRPG elements to create an entertaining experience with a few rough edges around the exploration and storyline. It has a unique flavour worth investing time into. »
« This game offers a deep RPG/dungeon crawler experience that adapts to the player. It isn't perfect, but it is a nice surprise for the PSVita. »
« Although it's not the best of its genre, Oreshika delivers a great amount of fun and a handful of reasons to expend more than 100 hours hunting demons and building a new name for our Clan. A nice game for fans of the genre. »
« An RPG that tries to be different from any other. Those who enjoy games with lots of customization and breeding will have a lot of fun. The downside is there is little to do with your super children that stops it from being an instant classic. »
Avis des Joueurs (Metacritic)
« Style over substance. The game looks and sounds great. It's got a killer soundtrack. The game mechanics just don't work for me. I don't like the characters dying within 2 years mechanic and rougelike mechanics relating to their stats and coupling with the gods. It's very grindy. The plot isn't all that great either. »
« Oreshika presents a unique storyline, with graphics similar to Okami, and that works to it's benefit. You play as a cursed clan that needs to earn the favour of various gods in order to break the curse, and be able to continue. It's a surprisingly deep game that offers a deep gameplay and progression system. There is some backtracking, and difficulty spikes, but that's to be expected with an RPG. For a $30ish dollar RPG, you get a lot of bang for your buck. »
« 不论从音乐到游戏本身，相对一代来说全都是进化，没想到这游戏还会继续推出续作，如果喜欢一代或有所耳闻的话，一定不要错过。 »
« A unique japanese dungeon crawler built around tight and well-balanced mechanics with beautiful "watercolor" graphics. It's hard to explain all the gameplay mechanics in a bried review, but if you are the kind of player who relies more on deep mechanics than on story - don't miss this decent game! »
« Oreshika: Tainted Bloodlines offer an interesting story line about ancient Japanese culture with beautiful graphics, and wonderful turn-based gameplay. Performing union rites is an amazing concept to gain clan members. Although the gameplay can get repetitive, overall I consider this game addictive, and a must-buy especially if you are a fan of the genre. »
« I dont usually play JRGS, but at PSV i can do it, and this game is very cool, pretty nice story as always have some interest moments, gameplay is ok too, so 8/10 »
« Incredibly addictive, if slightly grindy. I think I'm probably more tolerant than some may be of the grinding, as I played the bulk of the JRPG's during the 90's and early 00's during which the were more prevalent. The basic idea is that your clan has been cursed to a short life span, and can no longer have children with other mortals. To get revenge on those that cursed you, and break the curse, you need to take your clan to war with the daemons that inhabit various dungeons in order to gain enough favour with the gods, so that you can breed with them. This is the part that gets addictive. Your clan members have 12 stats, these are dictated by the parents. To enhance your blood line you have to selectively breed between the two, hoping for the best, especially when recessive genes can throw a spanner in the works. Im about 50 hours in and still playing, it is well worth the low price that its being sold for. »
