Reviews of Onimusha Way of the Sword Released

PlayDay One called the game a brilliant reboot that scores 8.5 but lacks enemy and boss variety. VGC awarded three stars and noted great fights alongside dated missions and uneven pacing. PC Gamer gave an 83 in a video review that examines the title after twenty years. Eurogamer stated no other game makes players feel more like a swordsman of legend and praised its unique design choices. Kotaku found an excellent core of quality boss encounters that occupies only ten to thirty percent of playtime amid optional content and repetition.
