I worried Onimusha: Way of the Sword would be too easy, then got my ass beat by a many-limbed demon
Despite initial concerns that Onimusha: Way of the Sword might be too easy, a hands-on preview revealed a challenging combat system that requires mastery of parries, deflections, and counters. The game features a revival of the hack and slash series with a new depiction of Musashi Miyamoto and a story involving chaos demons overwhelming the Oni. The combat system, which includes distinct mechanics for parries, deflections, and clashes, is central to the experience and offers a satisfying difficulty curve.
