Feudal Japan, a cursed blade, and demons in the dark. Onimusha: Way of the Sword revives a beloved Capcom series — here is what to expect.

Samurai action, modernised

The heart of Onimusha is sword-focused combat: timing, deflection and decisive strikes. Expect that classic feel rebuilt with today's animation and visuals.

Demons and dread

Onimusha always blended action with a streak of horror. The demon-hunting tension is part of the identity — this is not just a hack-and-slash.

Who it is for

Fans of Sekiro, Devil May Cry and Ghost of Tsushima. If you love a lethal, stylish samurai power fantasy, put this on your list.
