PR TIMES

Set in “Kyoto” during the early Edo period, where bizarre, monstrous creatures known as “Genma” run rampant, this is a brand-new entry in the “Onimusha” series that follows the exploits of the protagonist, “Miyamoto Musashi,” who has gained the power of a demon.
Players can enjoy realistic swordplay, strategic maneuvering, and an exhilarating experience.

Use the power of the demon to wipe out your enemies

An awakening that grants power beyond human comprehension


PR TIMES

Miyamoto Musashi, awakened by the power of the Oni, “awakens” to various abilities.
The abilities he awakens to are...

  • Eye Awakening: The ability to see hidden things
  • Arm Awakening: Can break through a stalemate with his mighty arms
  • Leg Awakening: Clears a path with explosive speed
  • Complete Awakening: Unleashes all his power as an Onimusha

...these four.
Use your awakened powers wisely to gain the upper hand in battle!
