Synopsis

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a dark fantasy action-adventure game from Capcom and the latest mainline entry in the long-running Onimusha franchise. The game follows legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi as he battles supernatural Genma forces across a corrupted version of Edo-period Kyoto, combining grounded swordplay with the series’ signature supernatural elements.

Built using Capcom’s RE Engine, Way of the Sword modernizes the classic Onimusha formula with detailed environments, cinematic combat and mechanics such as parries, deflections, Issen attacks, soul absorption and Oni Armaments. The game is designed as a single-player experience and is not intended to be a Soulslike or a fully open-world title.
