Onimusha: Warlords is the high-definition remaster of Capcom’s classic samurai action-adventure originally released in 2001. Playing as noble samurai Samanosuke Akechi, you battle demons, solve environmental puzzles, and collect elemental souls to power special abilities. Set in a stylized version of feudal Japan, the remaster modernizes the experience with refined controls, widescreen support, and a newly recorded soundtrack.

Key Features

• Restored cinematic glory in HD
  Pre-rendered backgrounds and cinematic fixed-camera scenes are brought into high definition, now supporting 16:9 widescreen with dynamic screen scrolling to reveal more of each environment.

• Improved control options
  Choose between classic tank controls or full analog-stick movement. Weapon switching is now seamless and can be done mid-level without navigating menus.

• Soul absorption upgrade system
  Defeat demons and gather red, yellow, and blue souls to upgrade weapons, restore health, or replenish magic energy, respectively—using the iconic Oni Gauntlet.

• Elemental weapon system
  Unlock powerful swords—Raizan (lightning), Enryū (fire), and Shippū (wind)—each granting unique magic attacks and puzzle-solving utility.

• Playable companion levels
  Sections featuring Kaede—the agile kunoichi—offer a distinct style of stealth and speed, with separate weapons and traversal abilities (but no soul absorption).

• Enhanced soundtrack and voice acting
  Enjoy a fully re-recorded orchestral score and new Japanese voice lines, with the original actor reprising his role for greater immersion.

• New “Hell” difficulty mode
  An optional ultra-hard mode where any hit is lethal unless you carry a revival talisman. Completing it unlocks a special in-game honor.

• Accessibility-adjusted difficulty
  Easy Mode is available from the start, with fewer enemies and simplified fights—ideal for players focusing on story and atmosphere.
