Onimusha Combat Earns Praise Despite Length and Reuse Complaints

Chris Ray Gun finished Onimusha: Way of the Sword and called the combat excellent with fun characters, though the game stretched a strong 12-hour experience into a compromised 25-plus-hour one marked by egregious boss recycling. NIB highlighted incredible boss fights featuring Genma brothers with elaborate movesets and animations. MrHooboMaster rated the title 9/10 for its sword combat, story, cutscenes, main character, bosses, and soundtrack, while criticizing limited variety, reused bosses, and excessive ease. The official account announced the dark fantasy action game releases September 4, 2026, and opened a product survey.
