Master the art of the sword in Onimusha: Way of the Sword. Fight Genma in Edo-era Kyoto, wield the Oni Gauntlet, and master combat techniques like Break Issen.

Walkthrough
  1. 1
    Explore Edo-era Kyoto: Navigate through a city twisted by Malice, facing constant danger and mystery in each stage.
  2. 2
    Wield the Oni Gauntlet: As a samurai, use this mystical artifact to gain the power to slay Genma.
  3. 3
    Master Sword Combat: Utilize one-handed slashes (quick, weaker) or two-handed attacks (stronger, slower wind-up).
  4. 4
    Perform Break Issen: Once an enemy's stamina is depleted, execute this special technique for an instant kill on regular Genma or heavy damage on bosses.
  5. 5
    Utilize Magical Weapons: Absorb blue souls (obs) to fill a magic gauge and unleash the power of magical weapons. This depletes the gauge, requiring it to be refilled for reuse.
  6. 6
    Defend and Counter: Employ deflects to reflect enemy attacks, parry with a well-timed block for counterattacks, or knock enemies into their surroundings. Deflects and parries also deplete enemy stamina.
Tips
  • Mastering the timing for deflects and parries is crucial for both defense and offense, as they can deplete enemy stamina and open them up for powerful attacks.
  • Conserve your magical weapon uses by employing them strategically against tougher enemies or groups.
  • Pay attention to enemy attack patterns to anticipate their moves and effectively utilize your defensive options.
