Description
Samanosuke Akechi, a samurai with demonic powers, battles Nobunaga's armies in an enhanced adaptation of the PlayStation 2 classic. Published by Capcom, released in 2002 in the United States, Europe, and Japan. An Xbox port of the original Onimusha with improved visuals, an oni soul absorption system, fast and intense battles in feudal Japan, and an added difficulty mode.
An expanded Xbox version of Capcom's first Onimusha, Genma Onimusha transposes the action adventure to a feudal Japan overrun by demons, blending sword combat, soul absorption and Resident Evil style puzzles. The added enemies, weapons and a challenge mode enrich the original experience. The fixed camera angles and the tank handling divide today. An excellent action adventure for fans of snappy sword combat and of samurai facing the supernatural.
