Onimusha: Way of the Sword finally gave fans a playable taste earlier this month in the form of a free demo, and Capcom heard you: the game feels too easy. Criticism was widespread enough that producer Akihito Kadowaki even addressed it in a video message to fans on social media, and Capcom responded to those concerns in more detail for me in an interview at Summer Game Fest.
Capcom has seen "very positive feedback" about "the combat, the swordplay, the characters, and the relationships," Kadowaki and director Satoru Nihei tell me in a joint interview conducted via translator, but they admit, "a lot of people say that they find the demo too easy in some cases."
