![]() ![]() Released almost eighteen years ago, Onimusha: Warlords plays like a weird mix of Resident Evil and Devil May Cry. Naturally, it’s up to Samanosuke to save her. As Samanosuke and his ninja accomplice Kaede arrive at Yuki’s castle, the princess has already been kidnapped by the demons. Princess Yuki writes a letter to reknowned swordsman Samanosuke Akechi, suspicious that her servants have been disappearing to a demonic threat. The series eventually became much more cinematic and narrative driven in later installments, but what’s on offer in Warlords is pretty simple fare. The story of Onimusha is unfortunately not as interesting as its general premise. ![]() Enter 2019, and Capcom has seen fit to remaster the game that started it all – Onimusha: Warlords. Not enjoying a mainline release since 2006, I as a fan thought that the series had been long forgotten. With the announcement of games like Nioh 2, Ghosts of Tsushima and Sekiro, I’ve always felt the time for an Onimusha return has been righter than ever. Onimusha as a franchise is one that Capcom hasn’t really touched lately.
