Explore the Edo-era Kyoto, battle Genma, and wield the Oni Gauntlet in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Master swordplay, magic weapons, and defensive maneuvers.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Plot: Fight through bloodbaths of intense swordplay action in Edo-era Kyoto, twisted by Malice. Battle Genma and follow the tale of a samurai wielding the Oni Gauntlet to slay them.
  2. 2
    Gameplay: Utilize one-handed (quick, weak) or two-handed (stronger, slower) katana attacks. Deplete enemy stamina to perform a Break Issen for instant kills on regular enemies or heavy damage on bosses.
  3. 3
    Magical Weapons: Absorb blue souls to fill a magic gauge and unleash the power of magical weapons. These weapons become unavailable until the gauge is refilled.
  4. 4
    Defense: Employ deflects to reflect attacks, parry with well-timed blocks for counterattacks, or dodge. Deflects and parries can deplete enemy stamina.
Tips
  • Master the timing for deflects and parries to gain an advantage in combat.
  • Strategic use of Break Issen can quickly clear out weaker enemies, saving time and resources.
  • Conserve the magic gauge for opportune moments against tougher foes or groups of enemies.
