The future of Onimusha series is definitely bright

Onimusha: Way of the Sword has been sold one million copies as the games was launched on 4 September, that makes the total of this series reach ten million units.

Such number means the success of the franchise which was started in 2001.

After being hiatus for more than 20 years, the sales number is insane.

Way of the Sword takes Edo era as the setting where you play as Miyamoto Mushashi.

Our hero is modeled after Toshiro Mifune who was known for many legendary japan movies like Seven samurai.

The developer actually cared about the visual aspect especially the main and side characters that are animated with full of expression.

The focus of the battle is of course your sword, and you can drain the enemies' energy to unlock the Issen mechanic.

Deflect and parry system also comes that highlight the precision instead of button you press randomly.
