There are four swords: the thunder sword Raizan, the fire sword Enryuu, the wind sword Shippu, and the ultimate Bishamon Sword. When playing as Samanosuke, players are given quite a few tools to work with. The system itself is fairly simple, as players hack-and-slash through enemies with basic combos and skills. The combat is where Onimusha: Warlords truly shines.
Onimusha: Warlords’ music ranges from ambiance in the background to bold tracking at the forefront of the action, including one particular standout track, “Gale”, that plays while players are in the Dark Realm area. Speaking of audio, composer Takashi Niigaki has orchestrated an impressive score. Luckily, players do have the option of switching over to Japanese audio if so desired. It just comes off as amateurish and campy. However, the same cannot be said for the English voice work. However, the touch-ups given in the HD remastering do make this version of Onimusha: Warlords notably cleaner and smoother. There are some obvious remnants from the game’s status as a remaster of a title from two console generations ago. In addition, the game’s unique setting adds a great atmosphere fit for a samurai’s journey.
It is fairly simple to follow and understand, which serves as a good compliment to the gameplay. The plot for Onimusha: Warlords is rather involved yet not too complicated. Faker? I think you’re the fake samurai around here!
