If you’re at the center of the Venn diagram comparing Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny fans and masochists who prefer their protagonists go down in one hit, rejoice: a new developer diary trailer for the game’s remaster debuted at the Future Games Show today, and it shows off the appropriately titled "hell mode."
As game director Motohide Eshiro puts it in the trailer: "the name says it all." Hell difficulty is all about pushing your Onimusha skills to the absolute limit, and a single point of damage will send you back to the last checkpoint. Eshiro concedes that while some of Capcom’s staffers have gotten through the game this way, it as of yet eludes him, and is “not for the faint of heart.” Because he’s some sort of misery vendor, he goes on to mention that everyone should try it.
