The first Onimusha game got a modern makeover back in 2019, and it was only a matter of time before the second one followed suit. Onimusha 2: Samurai’s Destiny takes players on a nostalgic journey back to the classic Capcom PS2 era, complete with fixed camera angles and linear gameplay. Don’t expect any fancy mechanics like those in modern games like Sekiro, but there’s still plenty of fun to be had as Jubei embarks on a mission to defeat Nobunaga.
Impale your enemies for an automatic OHKO by pressing the attack button while standing on top of their bodies after defeating them. Just watch out for other enemies that might interrupt the animation. Absorb souls from fallen foes to upgrade Jubei’s weapons and abilities, replenish health and magic, or transform into a powerful demon. Don’t leave souls hanging around, though, as they disappear after a while if not absorbed.
Regularly switch up your weapons to maintain an advantage over enemies, each weapon offering unique effects. Keep an eye on the ground for items dropped by enemies, like gold and green herbs, and search rooms for treasure chests containing valuable items. Save often using multiple save slots to revisit specific segments or replay certain parts without losing progress. Embrace imperfection and follow these tips to breeze through Onimusha 2 on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch, or Windows PCs.
