Overview
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is a single-player action game from Capcom, set in an Edo-era Kyoto overtaken by a sinister force. Miyamoto Musashi arrives to prove his swordsmanship and becomes entangled in a fight against the Genma. Its dark-fantasy setting is not a historical account of Musashi's life.
OtaHub's take
The Oni Gauntlet gives Musashi power to fight demons and absorb Genma souls to strengthen himself. Players explore areas of Kyoto, fight with swords and face opponents whose martial skills rival his own. Capcom Town Store published its launch announcement on 4 September 2026; Steam can display 3 September depending on the storefront region.
Verdict
Way of the Sword suits players seeking a solo sword-fighting adventure in a supernatural version of Japan. Blood and violence are prominent, so check its age guidance if those elements are a concern. PC players should check the store requirements and try the demo where available in their region.
