Onimusha: Way of the Sword aims to deliver satisfying swordplay with a combat system that rewards parries, deflections, and strategic offense. The game encourages players to stay close to enemies to create openings and utilize buffs, with mechanics like Issen counters offering high-risk, high-reward gameplay. While the combat loop shows significant potential, concerns remain about enemy variety and maintaining challenge throughout the full experience.
