Onimusha: Way of the Sword – Nintendo Switch 2

Enter a dark and mysterious vision of Edo-period Japan in Onimusha: Way of the Sword™, the latest swordplay action game in Capcom’s acclaimed Onimusha™ series. The game follows the legendary samurai Miyamoto Musashi, whose destiny takes an unexpected turn when he becomes the wielder of a mystical Oni Gauntlet. Gifted with supernatural power far beyond human limits, Musashi must confront the monstrous Genma that have invaded Kyoto and uncover the mysteries behind their arrival. At the heart of Onimusha: Way of the Sword™ is fast-paced and skill-driven sword combat. Players can master a variety of sword techniques and use precise attacks, environmental hazards, and supernatural abilities to overcome increasingly dangerous enemies. The series’ iconic Issen mechanic returns, rewarding perfectly timed attacks, alongside Soul Absorption, allowing Musashi to harness the power left behind by defeated foes. Musashi will face more than ordinary enemies during his journey. Powerful Genma and formidable bosses stand between him and his goal, including a ruthless rival swordsman who possesses an Oni Gauntlet of his own and can wield terrifying supernatural powers. The adventure takes place across a beautifully reimagined Edo-period Kyoto, where Japanese history and dark fantasy collide. Explore recognizable locations inspired by real historical landmarks, including the famous Kiyomizu-dera Temple, while venturing into mysterious supernatural realms filled with surreal landscapes and deadly creatures. The game also brings together legendary figures from Japanese history and folklore, including Miyamoto Musashi and Sasaki Ganryu. Musashi’s appearance is modeled after the late legendary samurai film actor Toshiro Mifune, adding an iconic cinematic presence to the protagonist. With brutal sword battles, supernatural powers, legendary warriors, terrifying Genma, and a haunting vision of historic Kyoto, Onimusha: Way of the Sword™ delivers a fresh action experience while retaining the signature elements that have made the Onimusha series beloved by fans.
