Thoughts on the new Onimusha? I'm not too sure about it yet. I hope they release a demo.
On one hand the gameplay seems pretty close to the original games, closer to 1 and 2 than 3 and especially 4 though.
However, oni weapons seemingly only being canned abilities you activate rather than actual weapons sucks. Upgrading the different weapons and seeing them change their look was cool.
We also haven't seen the Onimusha transformation yet which makes me a bit worried.
On the other hand the level-design and enemy encounters look near-identical to Onimusha 1 and 2 which I personally dig. It feels like a throwback.
