Onimusha: Warlords

If you’re thinking of revisiting Onimusha or just curious to try it for the first time then it’s a solid recommendation as a short and action-packed classic game with some good replay value after your first run. This just goes to show that a port in the right hands means it’s a good time to revisit older series that might now be forgotten.

Almost two decades on, Onimusha: Warlords lives again thanks to a handful of truly impactful changes. Those tank controls are lighter to the touch and the improvements to the visuals help take the edge off those clunky PS2-era looks. The updated soundtrack might be a little inferior, but even it brings an extra layer of authenticity to a game that draws from Japan’s rich history of warfare. Hopefully, the rest of the series will get the same treatment because this classic swashbuckling adventure (with the occasional moment of horror) has just re-sharpened its blade, and we're happy to have it back.

All in all, Onimusha HD is a wonderful return to the first entry in a long and well-loved series. It wouldn’t be a bad thing if Capcom continues to overhaul these PS2 and GameCube era classics.

A nostalgic-fuelled, absolute blast. It's wonderful to finally be able to play this once again, and it's far too long coming - better on the Switch, as the ability to play it on the go adds even more to this release. Ultimately, though, after waiting 18 years, this isn't enough. This deserved more of a remaster with more extras, perhaps even a remastered trilogy. Hopefully, more is coming. Hopefully, fans will show Capcom that this is what they want. With Onimusha: Warlords reminding fans of the glory days and Resident Evil 2 one of the finest games of the generation, the audience is still there. Now bring on Dino Crisis, more Onimusha, Resident Evil 3 and everything else you've got Capcom!

Onimusha: Warlords HD Remaster is intended for those looking for a trip down memory lane, but it won't impress others. It's an interesting historical artifact, but that's about all it has going for it.

I definitely had fun with Onimusha: Warlords, despite many of its mechanics and visuals aging poorly since 2001. A lot of my enjoyment comes from revisiting an old favorite, but there's not enough new stuff here to recommend this to someone new to the series. The save system, terrible animations, and unskippable cutscenes just don't work in the modern era. It's a shame, because Onimusha is one of my favorite PS2 games, and just a few tweaks to some of the older systems would have helped enormously. The modern release is exactly how I remember it, and unfortunately in 2019, that's just not good enough.

Thanks to a clunky camera and a very dated system this remake of Onimusha doesn't hold up. It's even apparent in the unskippable cutscenes. The atmosphere is great, but that's about it.

Miłe zaskoczenie na swoje czasy super gra. Świetnie gra się na switchu w to

I didn’t play the game as a kid, even though I always wanted to. This game is GREAT. They improved the controls (tank controls suc k), but they’re still a bit clunky sometimes. Still, I highly recommend this game!

I played on ps2. Do you want to play resident evil as a samurai? This game is for you. Fighting is fun. Level desing is good. Puzzles are not difficult or even non-existent. The story is ordinary but the characters are good. It's a nice touch that we play with 2 characters. The various weapons we use. Abilities. Upgrades we found. It's fun to explore and play with all of these. As someone who loves the survival horror genre, I really liked it.

Onimusha is a game filled with Japanese culture it's a really nice looking game. Of course it's a ps2 era game but locations are still really pretty! I was afraid that gameplay will be clunky and outdated but to my surprise game is really playable. Story is interesting and engaging as well as characters. Onimusha is a solid game and it's really worth a shot if you looking for a samurai game. Game is short about 4 hours long so it is not boring at all. The biggest downside is unskippable cut scenes and some of puzzle games but after all it's a very pleasant experience.

Sorpreson porque lo han remaqueado (no mucho tampoco) pero el lavado de cara y su jugabilidad que se mantiene hacen de el un juegazo atemporal. La version de switch es colosal, y portatil ;-) jejeje
