About the Onimusha Series

Debuting in 2001, the first game in the Onimusha series tells the story of a young warrior during a time of widespread war in feudal Japan. Acquiring the power of the Oni, he becomes an Onimusha and battles against the evil Genma that are attempting to conquer of the world.
The game’s “Issen” critical counter action mechanic and satisfying swordplay action became defining pillars of the series.

With people and events inspired by real-life history cast into its eerie dark fantasy setting, the trials and fates of the characters painted a unique and engrossing tale that drew widespread acclaim.

Building on that success, the series has gone on to spawn numerous hit titles and even an original Netflix animation. To date the Onimusha series has sold over 8.7 million units worldwide.
