Story of Onimusha: Way of the Sword — PS5

Players step into the role of legendary swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, whose face model is based on the legendary samurai movie icon Toshiro Mifune. As Musashi unlocks the supernatural power of the Oni, he must confront the monstrous Genma overrunning Kyoto, battling formidable foes including the fearsome Shuten Doji at his stronghold on Mount Oe. Combat centers on intense duels using melee weapons and magical abilities, with a special Oni gauntlet allowing superhuman attacks and enemy blocks. The story is a standalone tale, not directly connected to any previous series entry, with an estimated playtime of around 20 hours.
