Story & Lore
The tale of the cursed gauntlet, the Genma menace, and the swordsman who stands between Kyoto and ruin.
Onimusha: Way of the Sword is Capcom's long-awaited return to the samurai action series, taking players back to Edo-period Kyoto as Miyamoto Musashi — modeled on cinema legend Toshiro Mifune.
From mastering the precision Issen parry and feeding the Oni Gauntlet to dueling terrifying Genma bosses, the game delivers a relentlessly hardcore swordplay experience.
The Oni Gauntlet
A cursed relic fused to Musashi's arm, the Oni Gauntlet devours the souls of fallen Genma — yellow to mend flesh, red to buy upgrades, blue to charge the devastating Oni Armament. It is the game's engine, and its price is written in the blood it demands.
The Genma & the Malice
The Genma pour through dimension-warping rifts and feed a spreading Malice that twists Edo-period Kyoto. Cleansing Malice-producing flora and sealing rifts is as much the fight as the sword — every unclosed tear makes the city deadlier.
