Onimusha: Way of the Sword brings Miyamoto Musashi to early Edo-period Kyoto, where Genma demons threaten the city. An Oni Gauntlet gives him supernatural powers.
Sword duels, soul absorption and Oni abilities drive this action adventure. Its standalone story introduces the world without requiring knowledge of earlier games.
