Introduction:
Welcome to the Onechanbara Roadmap! This game contains 27 offline achievements and can be best described as a fun mix of hack and slash with T&A. If you are familiar with Japanese culture and the unique games that come from them, then you won’t be too surprised that this is more of the same quirky stuff. The game can be best compared to Dynasty Warriors with a experience system that is persistent through your time playing the game. If you’re a causal gamer, you can get 780 with an investment of time and the free strategy guide provided by the producers of the game. But the final 220 will require dedication to the mastery of the, “Cool combo” which is a time based button challenge that can actually dictate how fast you can possibly beat the game. This game is fun and entertaining, but this is not an easy or fast game for full completion.

The publisher was kind enough to provide a free and complete walkthrough for the game they have produced. It is a useful tool and is unmatched for level and boss strategies.

Mastering the “Cool Combo”:
If you’re good at fighting games, then this may be easier for you than the average gamer. If you can master this technique early on in the game, you have the capability of unlocking bracelets that modify your character in ways that will help immensely in completing the story modes, quests and gaining levels quicker. Although not necessary to beat the game, it is mandatory for the full game completion.

Go to the practice option and choose the Blood Mist Zombie as your opponent. Also turn on the display of the timing bar. Use the blue bar below the yellow strike marker as your guide to when to press . Your successful cool combo hits will appear as a white flashing X and your controller will rumble as well. If you can master 12 cool combo strikes (Requires Aya’s double sword technique), you can earn the “Challenge Bracelet” from the blood mist zombie in level 10 that makes successful combo timing incredibly easy.

Leveling your Characters:
Throughout the game, you will gain experience from completing levels and picking up yellow and red orbs. Occasionally, you will pick up stat modifiers but they come randomly while you play. When starting off, focus on building Aya and Saki’s Attack power and vitality first, and then work on skills. Anna should focus on her gun and vitality stats as her advanced techniques and melee skills are unnecessary for her purpose. If you are having trouble completing level 5 because Aya’s life bar is too short, or level’s 14-16 because you neglected one of the girls, play a few rounds of survival with them to grind up their levels.

To speed up the leveling process, run Annna through Survival a few times to power level her gun statistic. This dispatches the regular zombies quickly and leaves the exp orbs on the ground for the girl of your choice to acquire. Hold down to aim for best results. Higher combos yield bigger exp orbs. Also, the bosses are added to the survival playlist after you beat them in story mode and often yield rare stat boosters. After beating Reiko in level 7 in story mode, you fight a ton of her clones in round 36 and they all drop stat boosters. Alternatively, completing levels over and over also yields fast exp bonuses at the end stats screen.

Speeding up the story modes:
The most surprising point in the story mode is that unless you are caged in a mandatory battle, you can run past all the enemies in every level. Although not recommended when you are first starting the game, once you hit the higher levels it becomes a wiser strategy to avoid unnecessary battles to save your vitality and items for the mandatory end boss battles.

Completing Quests:
There are 20 quests, each with 3 levels. The most important things to note is that although you can complete multiple quests in one stage, you can only complete one level of each quest in every stage. You can also use the same stage to achieve all 3 levels of the quest. Achievements will pop after the quest is completed for the third time. All quests must be completed in order to unlock the girl’s bonus accomplishments. All quest requirements are covered in the achievement guide.

Conclusion:
This game is unashamed in its advertising angle and does not highlight the fact that although the game has its flaws (such as the annoying camera issues), Onechanbara is incredibly playable. For those hunting achievements, this game contains achievements that actually feel like achievements when you earn them. You’ll stand up and cheer when you master the timing of the cool combo and use it to finish your final quests. Most will get a fairly decent amount of achievement points for the sake of playing for enjoyment, but only the dedicated gamer will be able to achieve all 1000 in this game.

"One Bizarre Woman"

20
Complete Quest No.1 "One Bizarre Woman" (LV1～3)
(1)
To complete levels of this quest, you must use Aya’s or Saki’s Counter Stance attack to kill at least one zombie 10, 20 or 30 times in 1 level. A Counter Stance attack is initiated by pushing and at the same time. The only drawback is that performing the Counter Stance attack drains your life bar so it would be wise to wait until you either have a long life bar or lots of health items in your inventory. This achievement can be earned in any level. Quest levels do not stack and levels must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Genocider"

30
Complete Quest No.2 "Genocider" (LV1～3)
Levels of this quest are completed by killing 200+, 400+ and 650+ zombies in one level. A pretty straightforward quest to complete because all that is required is to kill a required amount of zombies. The final cage match in level 3 right before the stage exit is the best place to farm kills and can be a good place to work on several other quests at the same time. Simply avoid killing the mudmen and the zombies will continue to respawn at a very fast rate. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Crimson Makeup"

20
Complete Quest No.3 "Crimson Makeup" (LV1～3)
(1)
In order to complete levels in this quest, you have to kill a lot of enemies with Aya or Saki to constantly expose the girls to splatter damage in one level. It’s easier to enable Rampage mode several times in one run of a level, then cure yourself with a goddess statue or a fragment to see how much progress you are making. You can achieve this at the same time you are working towards completing the quest, “Crimson Makeup” You can get this in level 3 in the final cage match right before the end of the level if you constantly cure your rampage mode with a goddess statue fragment (they will drop more frequently if you are close to a full Rampage bar) to prevent you from killing the mudmen. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Insane Libido"

20
Complete Quest No.4 "Insane Libido" (LV1～3)
Levels of this quest can be completed by staying in Rampage mode for 3-4 minutes during a boss fight before defeating them. You can prepare for this quest by having a large life bar and having at least two bloody lumps in your inventory. You can also complete this in the same level over and over on any difficulty level. When you begin the boss fight, enable Rampage mode by using two bloody lumps and allowing 3 or 4 minutes to pass before defeating the boss. You’ll get a prompt shortly after defeating the boss, but before the end results screen that you have successfully completed the quest. If prompt does not come up, then you can quickly pause and restart the level. The achievement will unlock after the third level of the quest has been completed.
"Near Death High"

20
Complete Quest No.5 "Near Death High" (LV1～3)
Defeat a boss your girl at one bar of health three times to unlock this achievement. You can prepare one of the girls by performing Aya or Saki’s counter-stance move until they are at 1 bar of health, then switch to her partner to whittle down the final boss. Then swap back to the weakened girl and finish off the boss. This can be done on the same level and is easily achieved on the first level on easy or normal. You’ll get a prompt shortly after defeating the boss but before the end results screen that you have successfully completed the quest. If prompt does not come up, then you can quickly pause and restart the level. The achievement will unlock after the third level of the quest has been completed.
"Bloody Sword"

20
Complete Quest No.6 "Bloody Sword" (LV1～3)
Defeat a boss with a full gore meter three times to unlock this achievement. You can prepare one of the girls swords before the boss fight with a full gore meter then switch to her partner to whittle down the final boss. Then swap back to the girl with the completely bloody sword and finish off the boss. This can be done on the same level and is easily achieved on the first level on easy or normal. You’ll get a prompt shortly after defeating the boss but before the end results screen that you have successfully completed the quest. If prompt does not come up, then you can quickly pause and restart the level. The achievement will unlock after the third level of the quest has been completed.
"Dance of the Empress"

30
Complete Quest No.7 "Dance of the Empress" (LV1～3)
Aya’s skill bar must be completely full to perform the full combo to achieve all three levels of this quest. This can be done in any level and the combo does not have to hit an enemy. There is a slight delay after the third attack to initiate the, “Chaotic Luster Maelstrom” which is a fancy name for repeated left and right slashes. The timing can be seen in training mode and is identified as a white bar under the timing bracket. A bloody sword can slow down the timing if you prefer. You can unlock this in level 1 after the first caged match. Keep successfully performing the attack until the game prompts that you have completed the criteria for successful consecutive sword swings, then complete the level. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. Achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Combo Death of the Empress"

30
Complete Quest No.8 "Combo Death of the Empress" (LV1～3)
To complete this achievement, you must not just hit, but kill 50, 70 and 100 enemies in rapid succession in one level. Although this can be done on any level, it is easier to complete in level 5. This is easier to achieve when Aya has a large life bar so you don’t have to worry about dying mid-run. I found it easier to use to pop a wheelie instead of using to attack because you can focus on moving from one zombie to the next. Try to run over the dogs that run along your cycle to keep your combo going in between zombie crowds. The quest directly conflicts with, ”Hit and Run” so if the game thinks you’re going for combo hits instead of combo kills, then the game will track one or the other and may not unlock. This will no longer be an issue if the requirements kills/hits is higher than the other as the quest criteria will no longer conflict. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. Achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"The Untouched Empress"

30
Complete Quest No.9 "The Untouched Empress" (LV1～3)
Complete 3 chapters without either girl receiving damage in any way. You will get a prompt in the rewards screen that loads after the level is clear that you have successfully completed a level of the quest and before your prompt to save your game. The achievement will pop after the last level of the quest is completed. You can replay the level 1 on easy three times to get this achievement.
"Swift and Beautiful Death"

30
Complete Quest No.10 "Swift and Beautiful Death" (LV1～3)
To complete this achievement, kill level 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 17, 19 and 20 bosses as fast as possible. If you can keep it less than 15 seconds from cutscreen to boss death, then you are leaning towards the safe side and is easily attainable if you have high level girls and are replaying levels on a low difficulty. You get quest completion prompts from the game after you defeat 3,7 and all bosses shortly after killing the boss but before the end level screen. The achievement pops at the same time the third quest completion prompt is shown. Keep a checklist handy of bosses defeated in this matter to prevent confusion.
"Cool Master"

30
Complete Quest No.11 "Cool Master" (LV1～3)
To complete this achievement, you must have a 60%, 75% and 95% cool combo hit percentage out of all attacks performed in one level. The first strike, any regular strikes and misses count against the percentage, as they are not cool combo hits so minimize your strikes unless you’re sure that your timing is down. Damage done on to you does not effect the achievement. This achievement is greatly aided by acquiring the special skill bracelet from the blood mist zombie in level 10 and leveling it to level 3. It opens the cool combo window and makes timing cool combo strikes much easier. Having a maxed out reach statistic ensures that you won’t miss as well. You can get the first 2 levels in the first level on normal, not enough hits land on easy to get a good ratio. Taunt the zombies in the first caged battle into one group and kill them with one combo. Then run straight to the boss and attack him exclusively from behind. You can get the final quest completed in level 11 against the killer whale boss and only attacking when it has beached itself on the dock. You know that you have met criteria for completing the quest when you get the prompt from the game shortly after you beat the boss but before the end level screen. If quest does not prompt a successful attempt, then you can quickly pause after beating the boss and restart the level. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Zombie Piercer"

20
Complete Quest No.12 "Zombie Piercer" (LV1～3)
Requires 5, 10 and 15 consecutive Mudmen kills with hand thrusts without taking damage. Mudmen are the brown zombies that don’t die with regular attacks and are often surrounded by respawning zombies. To perform the hand thrust, you must use Aya (Single sword stance) or Saki, press three times, wait for a split second then press and at the same time. (assuming the mudman is right in front of you.)You successfully did the hand thrust when your girl rips out the heart out of the mudman, and he doubles over and dies. If done to mudmen that are close to each other, you may even get credit for killing them in this manner as well if your reach stat is high. If you are damaged at anytime while you are completing this quest, you start again from 0. The best place to do this quest is in level 9 in the underground passage. There are 6 mudmen that respawn every time you leave and return to the area. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Technical Master"

20
Complete Quest No.13 "Technical Master" (LV1～3)
Reach the combo level of, “Violent” 1, 4 and 5 times in one chapter. Violent combo rank is not difficult to get with Annna, but you cannot achieve credit for the combo by just shooting one mudman the entire time. You actually have to shoot at a few zombies before unloading into the mudman and complete the combo on a different zombie in order to receive credit for that combo. There is no way to tell if you are receiving credit for this quest other than when you get the prompts from the game saying that the quest level was completed. This is easily done on level 3 with Annna on free play mode in the final caged battle right before the exit. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Height of Ecstasy"

30
Complete Quest No.14 "Height of Ecstasy" (LV1～3)
Use your ecstasy attack 3, 6 and 9 times in one level when your ecstasy bar is completely full. This is one of the simpler quests that you can easily complete through regular gameplay using Annna. If you need to grind this achievement, use Annna to pump crowds of zombies and mudmen full of lead until her ecstasy bar is completely full, then press and at the same time to utilize her Bullet Frenzy attack. Easily done on level 3 with Annna on free play mode in the final caged battle right before the exit. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Rampaging Baneful Blood"

30
Complete Quest No.15 "Rampaging Baneful Blood" (LV1～3)
Enable Rampage Mode v2 in three different occasions, once per level. This is only unlockable by using Aya or Saki and you must have a full skill bar to achieve this. Rampage Mode 2 is enabled by going into Rampage Mode on the final hit of your completed cool combo. To make this simpler to do, acquire the splatter bracelet from the blood mist zombie in level 4 and level that bracelet to level 3. Bracelets gain experience by picking up orbs and completing levels while you are wearing it, even if you are max level. At level 3 the bracelet prevents any splatter meter gains. Go to level 9 as Saki and prepare her by building up the splatter meter to almost full, where the character portrait is completely red and slowly pulsing. Equip the splatter bracelet and attack the blood mist zombie on that level with a full cool combo. Before the final hit, which is a high jumping downward stab, quickly go into the item screen, unequip the splatter bracelet. If it was successfully completed, Saki will go into Rampage Mode with neon red hair and you’ll get a quest update confirming completion of the quest. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Swallow's Dance"

30
Complete Quest No.16 "Swallow's Dance" (LV1～3)
Enable Clear Sight 10, 20 and 30 times in one level without taking damage. Target a boss with , then spam to constantly roll towards them. Although not every dodge will initiate clear sight, it will prevent the boss from hitting you at all if you can press dodge fast enough. When the gameplay slows during a dodge, the game has gone into Clear Sight mode. If the boss successfully hits you, it resets the count back to 0. Best done against the first version of Reiko in level 7 on easy or normal. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Counterstrike Flash"

30
Complete Quest No.17 "Counterstrike Flash" (LV1～3)
Utilize Clear Sight to counterattack the enemy bosses in level 1, 2, 4, 6, 7, 8, 9, 11, 17, 19 and 20. Target a boss with , then spam to constantly roll towards them. Although not every dodge will initiate clear sight, it will prevent the boss from hitting you at all if you can press dodge fast enough. When the gameplay slows during a dodge, the game has gone into Clear Sight mode and you must press during that time frame to initiate a counterattack. You know that your counterattack is successful when the damage inflicted to the boss is much higher than the average hit. The killing blow to the boss must be a counterattack to complete this quest. Quest levels are completed after killing 3,7 and all bosses with a counterattack and unlock shortly after the boss dies and before the game goes into the level end screen. Keep a checklist of bosses defeated to prevent confusion.
"Hit & Run"

20
Complete Quest No.18 "Hit & Run" (LV1～3)
Only achievable in level 5. Hit and Run applies to the hit combo and not the kill combo. You must hit 20, 40 and 60 enemies in quick succession to complete this quest. This is easier to achieve when Aya has a large life bar so you don’t have to worry about dying mid-run. I found it easier to use to pop a wheelie instead of using to attack because you can focus on moving from one zombie to the next. Try to run over the dogs that run along your cycle to keep your combo going in between zombie crowds. The quest directly conflicts with,” Combo Death of the Empress” so if the game thinks you’re going for combo kills instead of combo hits, then the game will track one or the other and may not unlock. This will no longer be an issue if the requirements kills/hits is higher than the other as the quest criteria will no longer conflict. Quest levels do not stack and level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. Achievement will unlock right away during the level when you hit quest criteria.
"Rain of Bullets"

20
Complete Quest No.19 "Rain of Bullets" (LV1～3)
Select Annna and continue to shoot either your handguns or Uzi 2000, 3000 and 4000 times in one level to complete this quest. Quest levels do not stack and a level must be completed before the next level of the quest can be achieved. The best targets are Mudmen and Blood Mist Zombies as they do not die from regular attacks. Shooting though multiple enemies also count as multiples as well so shooting into crowds speeds up the process. This can come from regular play, but can be ground quickly in level 3 in the caged battle right before the exit. The achievement will pop right away when you hit quest criteria.
"Arrival in the Abyss"

20
Complete Quest No.20 "Arrival in the Abyss" (LV1～3)
Requires full completion of the story mode at any level before all levels of the quest can be completed. You must play in survival mode and reach level 16, 36 and 56 from level 1. Quest levels are not stackable and must die or quit and save before attempting the next level of the quest. Achievement will unlock right away after defeating level 56.
