    This is actually a decent HD remaster. For a game that I played a ton of when I was 15, it was still fun to go back to with a new set of eyes and experiences under my belt. It may be a much more simplistic adventure compared to other action games nowadays, but checking in on this gem was enjoyable all the way through. Fans of the old series will have a fun nostalgia trip while players that missed out on it at the beginning of the PS2, can find some old school fun here and the $20 price tag is perfect for this one.

    Onimusha: Warlords for Nintendo Switch is a delight. It looks and plays well, it’s fun, and the in-game achievement system – aptly named Honors – motivates the player to replay the game several times. On average, most will be able to complete the game in around four hours. Despite the short duration, the journey is a quality one and something you’ll want to replay. Hopefully, Capcom has plans to bring the rest of the Onimusha series to the Nintendo Switch in the near future.

    This time, easy mode is available right from the start, and there is a new achievement system in which you have to collect 56 “Honours”. On top of that, Capcom made a new soundtrack too. This game is a great opportunity for older gamers to remind themselves of the classic game, but also for young players to learn about a bit obscure Capcom title.

    Onimusha: Warlords is pretty much the same Onimusha you have played eighteen years ago, just with a couple of facelifts in order to try to hide its age, but that’s fine by me. Despite the dated visuals and irritating fixed camera angles, this is still as fun now as it was almost twenty years ago. The sole fact that I’m now aware that Capcom still acknowledges Onimusha‘s existence makes me excited for the near future. Maybe we’ll finally get a new game with the same visual quality as that jaw-dropping CGI intro from Onimusha 3. Hey, dreaming is free!

    This remaster seems only well suited for folks who’ve experienced the series before. It’s tailor-made for folks who want to take a trip down memory lane. Even then, you’ll find the same surprise I did—that Onimusha: Warlords is a game remembered as being better than it actually was.

    I'd struggle to recommend it to anyone below the age of 30 who grew up with prettier and more refined third-person action games, but if you were there at the time, Onimusha remains an important part of Capcom's golden era of the early '00s.

    Es muy buen juego.

    El mejor port de toda PS2 deberían valuarlo con 10 es un juegazo la verdad, una leyenda de Capcom y del Hack & Slash.
