About 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword'
Set in early Edo-period Kyoto, overrun by grotesque, otherworldly creatures called 'Genma', 'Onimusha: Way of the Sword' is a complete reimagining of the 'Onimusha' series. It tells a tale of vengeance and swordplay through its protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi, who wields demonic powers. The game delivers a 'supreme sword-fighting action' experience with realistic slashing feedback, intense blade-on-blade duels with unprecedented tactical depth and exhilaration, and superhuman combat abilities unlocked through demonic awakening.
