The premise, without filling in the blanks.

Miyamoto Musashi enters an early Edo-period Kyoto warped by clouds of Malice, where an Oni Gauntlet gives him the power to confront the Genma.

Deliberate sword clashes

Musashi can deflect, repel and redirect attacks instead of relying only on fast combos.

02

Oni abilities

Absorbed souls power supernatural techniques that can reverse a difficult encounter.

03

A new starting point

Capcom presents the game as a new entry that does not require remembering every previous Onimusha story.
