Deluxe Edition includes:
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a single‑player swordplay action game developed by Capcom, set in a dark‑fantasy version of Edo‑era Kyoto. Play as Miyamoto Musashi, wield the Oni Gauntlet, and battle the supernatural Genma in intense samurai combat.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is built around close‑range sword combat in which positioning, observation, and timing play an important role. Musashi can attack Genma directly, parry incoming blows, use defensive maneuvers, and unleash special techniques when an opportunity appears. Rather than relying only on constant attacks, battles encourage players to read enemy movements and react at the right moment. The Oni Gauntlet gives Musashi supernatural abilities that complement his swordsmanship, letting him absorb souls from defeated enemies and use Oni‑related powers such as Oni Vision while progressing through hostile areas of Kyoto, with encounters ranging from fights against groups of Genma to confrontations with dangerous individual opponents.
The game follows Miyamoto Musashi as he arrives in Kyoto and becomes caught in a supernatural conflict involving the Genma. The historic Japanese capital has been transformed by mysterious clouds of Malice, filling familiar locations with monsters, danger, and unexplained phenomena. At the outset, Musashi is fixated on freeing himself from the Oni Gauntlet, and equipped with its power, he fights his way through the city while searching for his own reason to keep fighting, encountering unusual characters and powerful adversaries, including rival swordsman Sasaki Ganryu, who also possesses an Oni Gauntlet.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword combines historical Japanese environments with a dark and supernatural atmosphere. Edo‑era Kyoto provides the foundation for temples, streets, mountain landscapes, and other locations that have been distorted by the presence of Malice and the Genma. The visual design places particular emphasis on detailed sword fights, dramatic combat animations, grotesque supernatural enemies, blood‑soaked battles, and cinematic presentation, with the contrast between recognizable Japanese architecture and otherworldly creatures giving the game a distinctive dark‑fantasy identity while keeping its samurai setting at the center of the experience.
