Don’t think this’ll be easy; Onimusha: Way of the Sword requires players to find the proper flow of each battle. Swordplay action in this action-adventure stresses the importance of perfectly timed strikes, parries, and finishers.

Factoring in demonic foes like Dohatsu-ten (above), those that take on Onimusha: Way of the Sword’s many demonic forces will need to carefully time their strikes as they embrace this dance of death.
