The story is actually quite sound except for one thing, Oda Nobunaga doesn’t have much significance to the plot. The gauntlet gathers the souls of the demons to aid him in his quest either by using it for upgrading his equipment, healing his health, or gaining what I would call chakra. During Samanosuke’s short holy crusade of demon hunting, he finds a gauntlet that was left behind by the ogres which grant him great power in the form of elemental blades as well as the ability to upgrade any of his consumable health and ammunition.
While Samanosuke tries to secure the safety of princess Yukie, she is being sought after by the demons to be used for a ritual that involves the now revived Oda Nobunaga in order for the demons to conquer the world. Now the story begins with the great Oda Nobunaga dying and a lone samurai named Samanosuke as well as those in the nearby castle being attacked by hordes of demons. If any of you have played this specific game back in the PS2 then expect absolutely nothing new when it comes to new content for the game except for trophy support which adds some challenges with some needing multiple playthroughs, the only thing I see that was improved on is the graphics but even with the updated textures and cutscenes, it still looks like I’m playing a PS2 game except with HDMI support. This would be the first time that I play an Onimusha game and while the gameplay, progression system, and graphics are truly dated, for a first time player, I wouldn’t deny that I actually found it fun at times and I’m pretty sure that if I played back in the good old days of the PS2 then I most likely would have loved this series just like the rest of its dedicated fans. Onimusha was definitely a gem of a series back in the golden days of the PlayStation 2 but in today’s standards, it is nothing more than a classical game that is good for reliving the good old days or for speedrun challenges. Onimusha: Warlords is a tale of what would happen if that demons roaming about were actually the case. The Sengoku Period (Warring States Period) was a time of great strife in Japan, some may even believe that demons were the ones causing all the chaos back then.
