Onimusha: Way of the Sword

About the game

Set in Kyoto during the Edo period, this new entry in the Onimusha series places the capital under clouds of Malice. The protagonist is Miyamoto Musashi, a young samurai who arrives in the city seeking to prove himself unmatched in the way of the sword, though his path soon takes an unexpected turn. His Oni Gauntlet grants him power beyond human limits to slay the Genma, monsters from the underworld that Malice has brought into the world of the living, and also lets him absorb their souls as a source of strength. Players explore a city of shrines and temples, including Kiyomizu-dera Temple, now twisted by Malice, and face opponents whose martial prowess rivals the hero's own. The game is a single-player experience, and the likeness and manner of the late Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune served as the basis for Musashi's appearance.
