description

Onimusha: Warlords was first unsheathed in 2001 on PlayStation 2 and introduced players to a world seething in darkness, magic, and demonic greed. Set in feudal Japan after the events of a revolutionary battle, it told the tale of the honorific samurai Samanosuke Akechi and ninja Kaede on a quest to save Princess Yuki from mysterious demons who have invaded Inabayama Castle. As the two travel throughout the castle, they unravel a malevolent plot by those who would serve the evil lord Nobunaga Oda. Upon its release, Onimusha: Warlords sold over 2 million copies worldwide and quickly became a beloved game due to its sword-based gameplay, stunning graphics that exuded a cinematic feel, and riveting story engulfed with strife.

Though merely human, Samanosuke is able to vanquish the demons infesting the castle and gains the Oni Gauntlet, which allows him to absorb their souls for multiple purposes like health regeneration and improving weapons. Coupled with three elemental blades he collects along the way, Samanosuke utilizes his vast arsenal of weapons in his quest to save Princess Yuki. In certain segments of the game, you control Kaede, who wields her own kit of tricky weapons perfect for taking down unsuspecting demons.

Onimusha: Warlords will be available for modern consoles and include some updated features to improve your demon-slaying adventure.

Now port the sequels too!

This is a great port of a great game. I remember it being a blast to play on the PS2 and that still holds true. I only wish they would 2 and 3 to the Switch (especially 2).

Please add more Onimusha games

This game is a PS2 classic which i thoroughly enjoyed during its original release...and still holds true today... and while this port isnt anything special it does offer a good time!

PS2 Nostalgy

If you played the original Onimusha and you liked, this remaster you are gonna love it. Even if there only a few changes from the PS2 version, the enhanced graphics, adapted to HD resolutions are well-made. They kept the tank controls along 3D movement which you can use both at the same time, just use D-pad for the tank's and the joystick for the other one. Lastly, the trophies feature are one of the biggest upsides for me.
