While this remaster is fairly straightforward, Onimusha 2 perfectly embodies Capcom’s quirky spirit, and it’s nothing short of a masterpiece. Onimusha 2 takes place directly after the events of Onimusha: Warlords, but the games are fairly stand-alone. That’s something I don’t know if I’ve ever seen in another video game, the idea of replayability being used to actually enhance characters. If anything, I hope choosing to bring Onimusha 2 back in this way serves as inspiration for Capcom to re-embrace the series’ sense of experimentation as they revive it with Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
