One thing about the good old days was, that there wasn’t a lot of layering when it came to story-telling. A remaster developed and published by Capcom, for Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, Xbox One and Windows via Steam is scheduled to be released on 15th of January 2019. Onimusha: Warlords, released in Japan as Onimusha (鬼武者), is an action-adventure video game and the first entry of the Onimusha series, first released for the PlayStation 2 in 2001. But does the remaster stand the test of time and the vigors of new hardware? Let’s find out. And the fact its 18 years old, it makes the game an obvious candidate to rekindle the franchise in modern time. A bug within Warlords inspired game designer Hideki Kamiya in the making of the action game Devil May Cry. It was so well received that it went on to sell 2 Million units worldwide. When Onimusha Warlords first launched, it became the first game to reach 1 million sold units on the PS2. So when the remaster came around, it was the perfect opportunity to complete the trilogy (albeit in the reverse order). I played Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny and Onimusha 3: Demon Siege, both on the PS2. I didn’t get a chance to play Onimusha Warlords, but I am no stranger to the franchise. They are most valuable to players who didn’t get a chance to play them when they first released.
I have been vocal about my stance of remasters.
