Even if you’re as tired of parrying in action games as I am, pay attention to Onimusha

Miyamoto Musashi, a legendary swordsman, reportedly had his first duel at age 13, defeating a seasoned samurai with a stick. He became known for his numerous victories in duels and significant battles while writing a treatise on swordsmanship. Capcom's game, Onimusha: Way of the Sword, aims to reflect samurai culture and features the likeness of actor Toshiro Mifune, who portrayed Musashi in the 1950s. The game slows down combat, allowing for strategic strikes, and includes unique gameplay mechanics such as kicking tables to incapacitate opponents and using parry and deflect maneuvers against ranged attacks. Onimusha is highlighted as one of Capcom's promising releases for the upcoming year, distinguishing itself from other action games like Devil May Cry and Monster Hunter.
