I had vague recollection of playing this on the PS2 back in the day. I believe at that time I gave up on the game and instead went for the excellent sequels as the first was just too difficult for me as a child. Coming back to this game I can see why. Onimusha is not an easy game, but it is one crying for a remake or a reboot as the series is incredibly interesting. Set in Feudal Japan with demons rising out of the earth, shenanigans ensue and Samanosuke Akechi comes in to save the day. The layout of the game is incredibly similar to Devil May Cry and Resident Evil which is a treat if you're a Capcom fan. With interesting level design (you're basically in a haunted mansion, sound familiar?) beautiful art and tense combat, I really hope to see more of this series in the near future. My main complaint for this particular version is that for an HD remaster, we don't really get many extras for the price (not even button mapping which is a crime). Fingers crossed that we can at least get more HD remasters of this classic series.
