Alongside the Enchanting Gauntlet
'Onimusha Way of the Sword' is the latest in CAPCOM's popular Onimusha franchise that has run since the PlayStation 2 era. In this title, players will battle yokai as Miyamoto Musashi. Musashi is equipped with a special gauntlet, which absorbs souls and is the key to activating special abilities. Players will use this to defeat the yokai threatening Kyoto and protect the townspeople.
Gameplay and Strategic Combat
At the heart of the gameplay is third-person action RPG elements. Players will progress through intricately designed 3D graphics, recognizing enemy patterns and utilizing the defensive technique of parrying. Especially in BOSS battles, unique strategies coupled with cinematic presentations are required, creating highlights in the gameplay. Each boss has different movements and patterns, challenging players to time their actions to deplete the enemy's health.
Exploration and Mission Development
The game involves not just epic battles with bosses but also stages where players investigate yokai sightings across Kyoto. In these stages, players can take their time gathering information to progress to boss battles. However, it might also offer more diverse missions instead of merely defeating enemies indiscriminately.
