Remaster of the PS2 version of Onimusha with HD resolution and the ability for analog movement as opposed to the old Resident Evil "tank" controls. Did not make use of any of the addition made by the Xbox Genma Onimusha version that had extra content with a new boss and unlockables and improved features that gave new enemy placement and combat moves to both you and your opponents.

Still a quick and enjoyable playthrough. Looks and animated well for an older title and is a good setting, though the atmosphere and play area is a bit limited for a PS2 game with little visual variety and for a more action oriented game there is a lack of enemy types. Combat typically works well and the counterattack system where you can attack or block right before being hit to deal much more damage and regain health is a fun feature, but the lock on attacks are terrible, probably made even worse with the more modern movement that makes the entire feature obsolete, with it constantly forcing you to swing at enemies you won't want to target and might not even be able to hit. A few dull, time wasting, and often out of place puzzles.

Worth a look if found on sale, but content wise isn't even the best version of the game.
