The path of the sword »; The evolution of a samurai • DigiKala Meg

While the unexpected unveiling of the new part of Resident Evil, perhaps the most important Capcom Declaration at the Smoke Fast 2025, the company also had other IPs, including Onimusha. The series, which was previously one of the PlayStation 2 index collections, received four main sections between the ages of 1 and 2, and since then we have seen reconstructed versions of the first two parts.

However, fans have long been waiting for a real sequel, especially after the success of games like Sekiro and Ghost of Tsushima, who revived the fencing in Japan feudal. Fortunately, during a show by Onimusha: The Way of the Sword (Way of the Sword) at Semar Game Fast, we had a closer look at the game, which includes a new championship and a new environment. Alongside the trailer, a demo was also available to some reporters that showed more details of the game.

In this game, players control Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary artist and writer of Japanese history. The more interesting thing, however, is that the face of Masashi in the game based on the appearance of Toshiro Mifune, the legendary actor of the cinema, was designed in year 6. Mifoneh was the lead actress of several films by Akira Kurosawa, including Rashomon, Seven Samurai and Yujimbo. In short, he is perhaps the most famous actor in the history of cinema. It is interesting to know that Moufone had played the role of Masashi in three different films during his life.

Several gameplay features have been moved to this new game from previous parts of the series. Once again, you are equipped with an oni gauntlet that now has an independent sound and some kind of consciousness. This glove is critical to collecting all kinds of balls; Some of these balls retrieve the health bar, while others have experience, skill and more. There are also parts of the puzzle solving in which the invisible demons can be seen or blocked by the power of the gloves. The attraction of evil dark masses also allows Masashi to re -experience bitter scenes of the past; Scenes that have been powered by cursed gloves.

On the other hand, the initial gameplay demo has apparently focused heavily on sword struggles, and magical attacks or special movements have rarely seen. Like the previous episodes, the player must balance the attack, movement, defense and counterattack. Issen attacks, whether through the sword at the right moment or timely defense, play a key role in inflicting great damage to enemy groups. Masashi can carry out these attacks in a row and eliminate a group of enemies in a few moves, if your timing is accurate. He can even repel the enemy beams and return to themselves. In some cases, you can even use the surrounding objects to defend, for example, by holding a tatami mat to combat shooting. In general, what we have seen is the only basic foundations of the new Onosia battle system.

The defensive system of the game is not very strict, and in one of the scenes, Massashi has blocked a light sword attack from behind, even without looking back. It is important to see how the hardness of this game will be in the era when the Soulslake -style games are popular. Fans of this style, of course, will definitely be more attracted to bass -based battles; Especially the battle with the Ganryu character, which is very attractive. The battle has also been a great opportunity to showcase the Break Isssen mechanism that, after reducing the enemy defense bar, you can carry out a heavy attack on a particular part or organ of the body. Do you hit the head to get the most damage? Or do you hit his sword to reduce his offensive power? It depends on you anymore.

In the meantime, we hope that the game will really have something in the bag, as it has been said that Way of the Sword seems relatively normal in many ways and that competition is in fierce genre. Apart from Sekirro, we have the NIOH series of Team Ninja studio, which will soon be released. Until now, the new game of Onimosha has appeared more calm than Sekiro or Nioh, to the extent that it sometimes looks unnecessary. This, of course, should not be surprising. Initially, Onimusha was a combination of resident Evil with the Samurai, and although it has been eliminated old fixed views, it can still be a heritage in designing more closed environment, slower rhythm, and details such as seeing the ghosts of the dead villagers who were on the order of a devil’s king.

This legacy can also be seen in the skills of the new game champion, Miamoto Masashi; Another samurai that hunts the Yokai with the devilish powers and the spokesman’s gloves. Masashi hates this evil glove, although he allows him to absorb spirits and perform deadly combined movements. He prefers to fight the Yoka with his purely human and samurai skills, which is also a lot of skills.

Onosusha’s game: The sword is scheduled to release in year 2 on PlayStation 2, Xbox Series X/S and PCs.
