About "Onimusha Way of the Sword"

This is a brand-new installment in the "Onimusha" series, set in early Edo period "Kyoto," a land overrun by the grotesque "Genma." It depicts the bloody sword-fighting tale of the protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, who has gained the power of an Oni. Players can enjoy "supreme sword-fighting action" with realistic slashing expressions, unprecedented strategic depth and exhilaration from clashing swords, and superhuman actions awakened by the power of the Oni.
