This enhanced HD version of Onimusha: Warlords now supports 16:9 wide screen resolution as well as the old 4:3 ratio. Improved controls now allow players to move and fight with analog-stick precision. The Japanese voices have been re-recorded for this remaster, and the brand new soundtrack promises to be even more spectacular than the original.
The game does not offer additional new content as it is the same game that was released in 2001 but with improved graphics and control.
Onimusha isn’t a 2019 classic, but it has earned its place as a 2001 classic that’s still more than worth playing today if you’re in the market for good games from bygone eras.
Onimusha: Warlords is exactly how you remember it, and in 2019, that's not necessarily a good thing.
A low budget but competent remaster of a game that's showing its age – and yet still makes a good argument for a future franchise revival.
Where most publishers are trying to squeeze as much as possible out of people, juicing those nostalgia glands for every penny, here we have a sensible price point for a decent older game that’s been blown up to look passable on a modern screen.
