The feeling of defeating enemies with your swords, guns and bows never fail to be immersive and satisfying. Now to me, the main theme of the game, is the fun challenge of the whole game, this is what kept me going back to it over all these years. Even the inventory screen and everything related to that, from the map to the save screen, has been entirely redrawn, looking very sharp and redone for a widescreen display.
The character models have been upscaled, alongside the effects for enemies and the magic throughout. Namely, the pixelated backgrounds in some areas, but other than that, it holds up well. With it being eighteen years (!) since its original release, there’s definitely some things that have dated. But when it came to the cut-scenes, it seems that they’ve been redone to accommodate for the widescreen ratio natively, which works well, and a great touch. I think if this occurred to any other remastered game, you’d either miss out on certain enemies appearing or you’d have slight motion sickness from the screen constantly moving up or down. You can see how it is here:įor this game, it actually works, which I was surprised about. It zooms in, and when you reach a certain part of the room you’re in, it moves either up or down to keep the character in focus, without cutting him off. First of all, this isn’t ‘true’ widescreen. Still, let’s cover the remaster features. The puzzles are also a treat, as they can either be optional to unlock items, or simply unavoidable, but each of them are fun and rewarding, and they rarely leave you feeling frustrated. There’s a rumour of a fourth sword, and a new costume, but who knows… You begin with the lightning sword, and two others until you reach the end. Throughout the game, you will collect different swords that relate to the elements. You slash and hack your way through a variety of enemies, and with your Soul Gauntlet, you can collect different souls, which you can either trade to improve your weapons, or to recover your health or magic. It’s now similar to controlling Dante in Devil May Cry, and that’s only a good thing. In this remaster, this has been changed with the analogue stick, so you can move him anywhere you want, thereby removing him from a grid-like system. The controls will remind you of the classic Resident Evil games, where you can use the D-Pad to turn and move the character in the direction you want. You control Samanosuke, a samurai who has found himself in a battle against Nobunaga and his underworld forces in Feudal Japan.
Onimusha ps4 dark realm code#
It’s been a long five month wait, but I was fortunate enough for Miketendo64 to receive a code and to offer me the chance to review it, so after spending the last few weeks completing it five times over, here’s my review. To say I was shocked would be a mild understatement. Then, August 28th of last year, Capcom suddenly announce on Twitter that Onimusha is coming to consoles, PC, and the Switch.
Onimusha ps4 dark realm series#
Fun because of the Dark Realm and yet, it just never seemed that the series was going to come back. Fun because of its wooden acting but only added to its charm. Fun because of its setting, gameplay, and sci-fi elements. It was one of those games I’d always come back to because it was just fun and fun alone. Yet, there was never a port, never a remaster, regardless of what was announced.
Onimusha ps4 dark realm ps3#
It’s a game I used to rent from Blockbuster games in 2001 for the PS2, and ever since I’ve tried to find ways of playing it again, from buying a first model of the PS3 that had backwards-compatibility with PS2 games, to buying a PS2 console, mainly to play Onimusha and its sequels. From my old work commute that lasted an hour, to Christmas where I played it with the niece, and for party games for New Year’s Eve.īecause of its form factor, it’s always made me think of the games I’d love to come to it, so I’ve always had this constant, ever-changing list of games ‘I’d like to see but it wouldn’t be very likely’, to come to the Switch. Since its release, I’ve carried it with me everywhere. ‘But, where is it on Switch?’ This is a question that’s almost become a meme since the Nintendo Switch launched almost two years ago.
