What’s New in Onimusha 2?

This latest entry revitalizes the beloved franchise with intense sword action. The game features a protagonist inspired by the legendary actor Yusaku Matsuda, known for his captivating performances in the 70s and 80s.

Onimusha 2 offers an enriched combat experience with new gameplay mechanics. One standout feature is the Issen, a powerful attack that can be executed by timing your attack as your opponent strikes. Mastering the timing can lead to spectacular results, enhancing the thrill of combat. Additionally, players can perform Chain Issen, allowing a series of powerful strikes against surrounding enemies, increasing the pace of battles considerably.

Another defining aspect of the Onimusha series is the ability to absorb souls from fallen enemies. These souls, categorized into red, yellow, and blue, can be used to enhance gear, recover health, and replenish Oni power. An exciting new addition to Onimusha 2 is the purple soul, which allows players to transform into the invincible Oni Musha for a short duration when five souls are collected. This transformation grants increased attack power and the ability to unleash Oni God Bullets that automatically track enemies, creating an altogether more powerful attack style.

In the original version, players would automatically transform when gathering enough souls. However, the remastered game gives players the flexibility to choose when to activate this transformation.
