Onimusha: Way of the Sword: Deluxe Edition - PS5
Onimusha: Way of the Sword PS5
Onimusha: Way of the Sword plunges you into a dark and bloody story set during the Edo period in Kyoto, Japan. Prepare for intense sword fights where every blow is a matter of life and death. Each mission is packed with mystery, danger and suspense.
In the skin of a samurai
As a samurai, you embark on a journey of revenge and discovery. Your only ally is the Oni Gauntlet, a mystical artefact that grants you superhuman strength. Thanks to it, you can face creatures from the underworld known as the Genma, which threaten not only you, but the very course of history.
A path of wrath, courage and inner peace
Onimusha isn't just about fighting, it's also a spiritual journey. Where does true strength lie? In anger, courage, or inner peace? You'll find the answer at the end of a journey that will take you through a world full of demons, intrigue and Japanese mysticism.
THE SAMURAI
Inspired by a real Japanese actor
Miyamoto Musashi is the protagonist of Onimusha: Way of the Sword for PS5. A young, determined and fiery samurai, he arrives in Kyoto with a single goal: to prove that he has no equal in the art of swordsmanship. His path to glory, however, soon takes an unexpected turn, full of dark trials, supernatural forces and internal dilemmas. Capcom brought this character to life not only through the story and game mechanics, but also visually—Musashi's face was inspired by the legendary Japanese actor Toshiro Mifune, an icon of samurai cinema. As a result, Musashi appears not only as an relentless warrior, but also as a tribute to the classic Japanese hero, whose strength is as powerful as his honour.
THE DEMONS
The Genma are created to kill and devour all living things
The Genma are terrifying demons from the depths of hell, brought into the world of the living by a dark miasma shrouding Kyoto. This otherworldly evil has torn the boundary between life and death, allowing demons to flood the streets of the once peaceful city. Their presence has brought only pain and fear; massacres, attacks and constant threats have turned Kyoto into a nightmare landscape. Among these beasts, the Hitotsume-Gasa stand out—one-eyed demons who attack in packs with weapons in hand and without mercy. Whether they wield a sword, fire arrows, or hide behind a shield, their sole purpose is to kill and devour all living things. They are driven only by primitive instincts, with no emotion, no purpose other than the desire to spread death.
THE GAUNTLET
A soul-absorbing artefact
The action in Onimusha: Way of the Sword for PS5 revolves around Musashi and his mysterious Oni Gauntlet, an artefact that gives him superhuman strength and makes him a terror to the demonic Genma. The Gauntlet is a tool of destruction, but also a key to a deeper understanding of the dark power that is sweeping over the world of men. It allows him to absorb the souls of defeated enemies, which not only strengthens Musashi's abilities, but also reveals something far more sinister. With each soul absorbed, a mysterious voice seems to be released from the Gauntlet—whispering, urgent, perhaps even warning. Who or what is speaking to him? Is it a guide, a curse, or perhaps the voice of the Oni itself? This question runs through the entire game.
KYOTO
The spiritual purity of Japan in darkness
The scenery in Onimusha: Way of the Sword for PS5 plays a key role in building the atmosphere of the entire game. The story takes place in historic Kyoto, a city renowned for its beautiful shrines and temples, with the iconic Kiyomizu-dera forming one of its visual and symbolic highlights. In the game, however, this spiritual centre of Japan has been transformed into a dark and terrifying place, infested with a miasma that decays not only the streets and buildings, but the very souls of the people, like a poison. Famous landmarks are turning to ruins, sacred spaces are desecrated, and natural beauty radiates unease. Every step through the streets of Kyoto is accompanied by a chilling uncertainty; a Genma, or something even worse, could be lurking around the corner. The contrast between the spiritual purity of traditional Japan and its sudden fall into darkness creates a powerful and visually striking framework.
