#ONIMUSHA PS4 ONI SPIRITS IS HARD SERIES#
We are faced with a classic survival horror: narrow corridors, numerical inferiority compared to the enemy who seems imperturbable despite the blows he suffers, but also a shortage of medicines and products to recover health and, as if that were not enough, a series of puzzles scattered here. Onimusha: Warlords will make you return (or ignite) the desire to defeat demons and Genma, in a perhaps anachronistic context but with a completely timeless charm.

However, remember that on the narrative level things have not changed, faithful to the historical sector of its predecessor of almost twenty years ago, still fresh, non-trivial, and well inserted in the feudal context of medieval Japan. To avoid spoilers about the plot, we stop here, so that those who have not actually played it can fully enjoy the experience that this title offers. During his battle, Samanosuke is summoned by the council of twelve Oni, who deliver him a Deli Oni glove: a legendary weapon capable of accumulating the demonic souls of the Genma and converting them into spiritual energy, which not only can be channeled from time to time into different weapons available to our hero, but will obviously serve to give him the legendary power of Onimusha, a hybrid between man and demon capable of overthrowing any enemy that stands in front of him. Although the latter in the real world has unified Japan, in the game during his "crusade" he finds himself making pacts with demons and monsters, called Genma. Onimusha: Warlords tells the very first events of Samanosuke Akechi, a samurai who will see himself enmeshed in Japanese history as opposed to a historical figure of the highest depth for the Japanese country: Oda Nobunaga. Fortunately Capcom has taken over everything, starting with a light remastered: will it be successful in the coup and deliver us a title worthy of the name it bears? Let's find out in this review which aims to hit the commercial bogey demons straight to the heart. Despite the success it had in the past and the modern desire to bring historical titles back to recent consoles, the Onimusha saga is as if it had fallen into oblivion. In the case of the twelve Oni Gods who appeared briefly in Onimusha: Warlords, we can deduce that was their spiritual forms and not their physical appearance.Eighteen years have passed since the first appearance of Onimusha: Warlords, eighteen long years dotted with three unforgettable titles starring Samanosuke. Takajo from Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, actually has a serpentine appearance and there are depictions of similar Oni in the Onimusha 3: Demon Siege files. These characteristics are often transferred to the human warriors during their Onimusha transformation.Īlthough not as diverse as their Genma counterparts, there is some variety to the Oni clan.

The Oni represented are similar in appearance to their mythological origin: They are beast-like humanoids with horns and wild white hair. Because of this, few Oni are actually featured in the series - although their power is invested into their human allies. After losing this war, the Oni suffered considerable losses and their remaining numbers were scattered. The Oni (Japanese: 鬼, lit: 'ogre') are a race of creatures who have existed since primordial times and were once engaged in a great war with the Genma.
