The sword method may be a more tolerant of the samurai epic

The Capcom’s Onimusha series was a long stop. Combining wallpapers similar to evil residing with more flexible characters, adding in demons, magic and feudal preparation, the series extends on multiple consensus-and key devices-until the fourth entrance in 2006.

Nearly two decades (and the control unit ages) later, his Capcom ChainEven the final samurai representative, Tom Cruise Mifune Toshiro, to play the hero, legendary sword MIYAMOTO Musashi. In Gamescom, the company is now collecting an early segment of Sword method, Which covers most (but not all) the game offered in SGF 2025 just a few months ago.

It is an interesting time to return to the world of Samurai-Meets-Demonic-HUPTE of ONIMUSHA, after a sudden boom in games that exploit Japan feudal Japan. Recently, the latest killer of the doctrine has been placed there, while the next Sony ghost of Yotei (not to mention its predecessor) Tap Bushido and Swordplay in historical Japan.

While I played during the illustration, I made a lot of mental comparisons Sikiro – A game is now several years old and is still not defeated by me. Onimusha combines similar topics from the Satan forces working Amok, but it has a more tolerant approach. The way to play around the blocks and parishes, as well as weak and powerful attacks, all during the withdrawal of the celestial bodies that decreased through the enemies of death who work as the game currency. (Healthy heavenly bodies are also dropped by certain enemies.)

Oni Gauntlet that absorbs these lives can also be used to see invisible demons and to unlock the spiritual blocked areas. He will also behave like a demonic film show, and what happened during the invasion of Satan in the region.

The first enemies of sword men and slow archers were slow, making me restore speed with how to play the battles of Onimocha. Even if it looks expected before I keep it, Sword method It is not re -invented how to cut these Satan hordes.

Compared to other motion games, it appears to be guarding very forgiving. You can keep the guard button down, and it will prevent basic projectiles and quarrel attacks from all the directions that you spent some time to rely on stressful standards, the paris’ timing for one critical attack and hit the arrows from where they came.

Don’t make me wrong, it is satisfactory and fun, but I judge how the series will work on what is the flow of the primary attack. Musashi was subjected to a special attack of a double sword, two heavenly, linking the enemy to the attacks and leading its health levels.

This indicates that more special attacks and magic prosperity should open later in the game. The inspection during SGF 2025 also showed ways to take advantage of the environment for defensive attacks, with wooden panels to prevent stocks, for example, although this did not stimulate during play.

The most prominent in the demonstration was a confrontation with the Mossashi competitor, Gaanio Sasaki. It is a wonderful evil feed – it has been talented in one way or another. The duel was the only time I felt threatened during the illustration, and until then, I did not die once. There is enough health meter to test yourself against the luxurious sword attacks in Sasaki. Once you wear more powerful enemies, you can launch one concentrated attack either to cause more celestial bodies or strike arduous damage.

Early taste for Sword method It is fun and easy, so I feel curious to see how Capcom develops onimusha format – and where real challenges may lie.

ONIMUSHA: The Sword Method It was appointed to be released in 2026 on PS5 and Xbox Series S | X and pc.
