Despite being a direct sequel to the first installment, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny has a completely new protagonist, Jubei Yagyu, so Capcom considers it a title that can be fully enjoyed without having played the first. Remasterization is presented as a version «with improved graphics and modern updates». For example, we have refined controls, immediate weapon change, automatic saved, video sequences that can be omitted and high -resolution visual effects.
«This remastering offers a softer and more intuitive modern feeling while staying faithful to the experience of the original Samurais action classic,» says Capcom.
In addition to improving the visual aspect, this remastering adds the mode of difficulty hell where a single blow can be the end of the game, while the easy mode is now available from the beginning to offer a more relaxed experience. We also have an expanded gallery with more than 200 classic works of art and 43 pieces of the original game of the game, while the mini -games (The Man in Black, Team Oni and Puzzle Phantom Realm) that were previously only available after completing the game are now accessible from the beginning.
With 2.1 million units sold onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is the most successful delivery of the saga. The origin of the campaign is found in 1560, when Nobunaga Oda defeats Yoshimoto Imagawa and after the fight is killed. However, Oda does not die. The demons resurrect him and next to them he begins to kill innocents. The nightmare comes to an end when Samanosuke Akechi defeats the king of demons, but a few years later Oda recovers his power and prepares to conquer the country. Now Jubei Yagyu must find the five sacred orbs to save humanity and defeat Oda.
Until not long ago Onimusha had no future, but at the end of last year Capcom announced Onimusha: Way of the Sword, which will be available in 2026. This delivery also resurrects an actor, Toshiro Mifune, whose facial model has given life to the new protagonist Miyamoto Musashi.
