Now into its 25th year, and a full two decades since the last entry, the Onimusha series is making a comeback in a big way. Onimusha: Way of the Sword is storming onto the scene with everything that fans love about the series, augmented with thoroughly modern tech and some new gameplay additions that make the monster slaying more intense than ever.
Taking place in a gorgeously realized (and Oni-twisted) Edo-era Kyoto, you play as Miyamoto Musashi, a samurai seeking to prove himself as an unparalleled swordsman. He's soon set upon by creatures known as the Genma, and it's only after acquiring an Oni Gauntlet that he's able to defend himself against them. He's uncomfortable wielding the power of the gauntlet, however, strongly believing that a samurai should rely on their natural strength and discipline alone. Luckily for us, he doesn't have much choice.
