Onimusha: Way of the Sword Nintendo Switch 2

Capcom brings its dormant samurai series back, and the underworld comes with it. A mystical Oni Gauntlet fuses to Miyamoto Musashi’s arm in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, giving him the strength to cut through the demonic Genma overrunning Edo-period Kyoto.

Real history bleeds into folklore here. One perfectly timed strike can end a fight, and that tension carries through a Kyoto caught between recognizable temples and realms that shouldn’t exist.

Onimusha: Way of the Sword Switch 2 Features:

• Weighty, technique-driven swordplay, with supernatural abilities and environmental hazards to use mid-fight
• The returning Issen counter rewards split-second timing with instant kills; Soul Absorption lets you feed on the enemies you drop
• Musashi’s likeness draws directly from Toshiro Mifune, the actor who shaped how the West pictures a samurai on screen
• A rival named Sasaki Ganryu carries his own Oni Gauntlet, setting up some of the game’s toughest duels
• Kiyomizu-dera Temple and other real Kyoto landmarks sit beside dreamlike, twisted otherworldly spaces
• Pre-order includes the Sealed Curse sword skin, a Lion Dog charm, and a reversible cover sheet

If Sekiro’s single-parry-or-die rhythm ever clicked for you, this will feel familiar fast.
