Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Image: Steam / CAPCOM Co., Ltd.

  • Action
  • Samurai
  • Bosses

Third-person sword action: you're Miyamoto Musashi in a demon-infested Edo-period Kyoto, striking and deflecting on cue to drain your rival's stamina and finish them with a Break Issen, while your gauntlet absorbs souls to heal you.

Why play it now

When you're after an action adventure to last you a few weeks: with its side missions, it runs to around 20-30 hours.

Who it's for

For anyone who enjoys mastering the rhythm of a duel: reviews single out its bosses above everything else.

When not to pick it

If filler bores you: the open area adds missions of little value and reuses lesser bosses.
