Onimusha: Way of the Sword

Not sure if a thread exists so here you go.

Also, the demo is available right now.

Watched some gameplay footage yesterday and the combat looks really solid.

Not sure why they went with British voice actors for the English dub though.

I wish they just didn't do any dub at all but that's too big an ask in this era.

Okay, so I played the demo.

It fucking ROCKS!

Day One.

That is all.

I've loved Onimusha since I played a demo disk from OPM back in 2001. The first, second, and third games all licked tits. After that, never bothered, but yeah, this series deserves a revival.

It fucking rocks? LET'S GOOOOOOOO

Shin Onimusha ('Dawn of Dreams' in the west) was, in a lot of ways, the best one in the series. I was a little disappointed Capcom didn't do more with the title. The character variety was really cool and the OST was an absolute banger.

I think that this upcoming one might be better than any of the others. Sasaki Kojiro seems heavily inspired by Takehiko Inoue's interpretation from Vagabond, but I don't know if there was any actual influence at play. But you know how these things happen in pop culture and media.
