This is one of the Capcom IP, I’ve been waiting to see revived, alongside the Dino Crisis series & Breath of Fire series. After nearly two decades of dormancy, the Onimusha series makes a comeback with "Way of the Sword." Capcom has preserved the classic hack-and-slash DNA, focusing on combo execution, parrying, and the Issen mechanic which I personally find incredibly addictive. The RE Engine's excellent optimization for linear games certainly deserves praise particularly its smooth performance on handhelds and UMPCs at High to Ultra settings as Capcom has demonstrated this year with releases such as RE9, MHS3, Pragmata, and now Onimusha WotS. Miyamoto Musashi’s character design is charismatic and lifelike, from his facial expressions to his overall demeanor. The sword combat system is highly responsive. Features like "Dynamic Dismemberment" (where sword strikes sever enemies based on the angle of the swing) and "Break Issen" give every bloody duel a real sense of weight. Animations for deflecting, parrying, and dodging feel authentic like a "real-life deflect & parry " rather than relying solely on satisfying sound effects. The designs for the Genma "Oni" are impressively varied, and the boss battles are challenging, furthermore, the dark fantasy atmosphere of Edo-period Kyoto is brilliantly realized. However, the semi-open world exploration feels somewhat stiff certain areas of Kyoto resemble elongated linear corridors, and the story pacing drags a bit in the middle due to an abundance of cutscenes. The enemies and NPCs are too easy to defeat, even on the "Action" difficulty setting they are often passive rather than aggressive. I would have liked to see more challenging difficulty options available right from the start of the game.
So far, the game has run smoothly without any issues and feels incredibly smooth. This game is truly phenomenal and well worth playing. From the combat system to the options menu, you can really see that the developers have poured their heart and soul into making it. I'm even willing to postpone other games that are almost 100% complete just to play this one first. This game is well worth playing. If there are any issues in the future, I will edit this review. Current rating: 9/10 ✅
(Tentative review) Excellent graphics and pretty good optimization. Good story and presentation, but the English localization is horrible (which isn't really a big deal if you understand Japanese). The combat is good and fun but a bit too easy, and there seems to be a lack of enemy variety (?). The game is pretty amazing and fun overall. I'm loving it so far.
