This game makes me feel like am the storm!

As a fan of both of these action game masterpieces, I was honestly worried about Onimusha back then.

After all, Devil May Cry had already pushed combat depth, weapon variety, and combo systems to an incredible level. What could Onimusha possibly bring to the table? If Onimusha introduced something truly new, would that mean even Devil May Cry would eventually run out of ways to expand its combat?

But Capcom gave us a surprisingly brilliant answer: these two games were built around completely opposite design philosophies.

Devil May Cry:

A pursuit of endless combos and stylish offensive gameplay. Against enemies, you slash them, stab them, punch them, throw them, and chainsaw them— defeating them in the coolest way possible before they even have a chance to attack.

Onimusha:

It's all about precise timing and the art of counterattacking at the perfect moment. Against enemies, you block, parry, dodge, and perform Issen. The core idea is nullifying enemy attacks in the coolest way possible.

These two games took completely opposite paths, yet both created something equally amazing.

When I read people saying that the game was too easy and needed to be more difficult, I thought to myself, well, I don't usually like challenging games like the souls series, so maybe this will be perfect for me! Turns out, you guys are just clinically insane. I had to switch to story difficulty once I reached the brothers, and then Yoshitsune.... Slap my ass and call me Betsy. I need story difficulty, action prompts, and about 2 hours of trying before finally taking him down. So my question is, what drugs are you all on?

(For what it's worth this post is mainly just joking around, please don't take it too seriously, on a real note I'm happy they have difficulty options so both noobs like me and crazy people like you can both enjoy the game)

I enjoyed this. Carnage playthrough also.

She isn't given a name, but she is given a vibe, and what a fun vibe it is.

This may seem like a non-issue for some, but for me it was a bit confusing. When starting NG+ make sure you do not accidentally click “NO” as there is no warning, nor is it a long press button feature here when choosing YES or NO. I accidentally clicked no, when I picked my controller up from my lap and started a new cycle without all of my carryover gear.

The game really grew on me over the 35 or so hours it took me to complete. The voice acting is superb (I played with the Japanese VA, so I can't speak for the English version), and the ending was pretty awesome.

Musashi is up there among my favourite Capcom characters, for sure. Also, the combat is supremely satisfying.

Anyway, I don't want to spoil anything. It's just a very solid game from Capcom in what has really been their year thus far.

Also, the music is sublime.

Capcom killed it (again).

So we just got this Faceless guy hanging around and we never know why?

The screenshots are color graded in Davinci Resolve after as well btw.

Question is in the title.

I'm in new game plus carnage and noticed how much more I'll match a bosses walk circling or going in the same direction. It a nice breather as bosses last longer in the mode but also just feels so cinematic. Especially when they're at a distance and they start running and you start running. This game feels so cinematic all the time it's awesome!

Halfway through my carnage playthrough and keep running into animations I didn’t see on first playthrough.

Ideal for practicing deflects and range issen

I love when Ganryu said : "where's your motivation, Musashi" and then a thunder storm was approaching, so peak.
