XCOM, but with cold weapons.
Hey, honestly, I remember watching an anime where the Shinsengumis were actually fighting onis, so I wouldn't put it past Japan to make that.

Yeah, they already did something focused on the Shinsengumis and aliens. It was Gintama.

That one was comedy. I'm thinking of a different one that wasn't played for laughs.
It was pretty bad, though. And I still don't understand why the Shinsengumi end up allying with the Republicans if they were on the Shogun's side to begin with.
