Onimusha
Onimusha (鬼武者; 'Oni Warrior') is a series of action-adventure video games developed and published by Capcom. It makes use of the historic figures that shaped Japan's history, retelling their stories with supernatural elements. Most of the games are of the action-adventure genre, a combination of third-person hack-and-slash combat and puzzle elements. The player protagonist wields the power of the Oni, enabling them to fight the Genma, the main enemy in the series. As of June 2024, the series has sold a total of 8.7 million copies worldwide, making it Capcom's tenth best-selling franchise, behind Resident Evil, Monster Hunter, Street Fighter, Mega Man, Devil May Cry, Dead Rising, Dragon's Dogma, Ace Attorney, and Marvel vs. Capcom.
A high-definition remaster of the first game, Onimusha: Warlords, was released in December 2018 for the Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 4, and Xbox One. A Windows version was released in January 2019. A remaster of the second game, Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny, was released on all four platforms in May 2025.
The series originated in 1997, with Yoshiki Okamoto's idea to create Sengoku Biohazard, a ninja version of Capcom's own 1996 Resident Evil (known as Biohazard in Japan), set in the Sengoku period and featuring a "ninja house" filled with booby traps, similar to the mansion from Resident Evil, where battles are fought using swords and shuriken. The project was originally intended for the Nintendo 64's 64DD.
Onimusha: Warlords began development for the original PlayStation, but the project was eventually moved to the PlayStation 2. The half-finished PS1 version of Onimusha was scrapped and never released.
The central character of the series, Samanosuke Akechi, is modeled after Takeshi Kaneshiro, who also voiced the character. People were used as models for other characters in the series, including Yūsaku Matsuda in Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny and Jean Reno in Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. Character movements throughout the series were created using motion capture.
The series was initially planned to be only a trilogy, but a fourth installment, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams was released in 2006. Keiji Inafune said that Onimusha 3: Demon Siege is the end of the Nobunaga storyline, and Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is a new storyline.
Shin Onimusha: Curtain Of Darkness, a mobile phone game, was released in Japan in 2005. Onimusha Soul, a browser-based game, was released on June 28, 2012. The game was also released for mobile phones in July 2013 and for PlayStation 3's PlayStation Network on February 25, 2014. The mobile version was shut down on May 13, 2015.
Onimusha VR: Shadow Team, the first VR entry in the Onimusha series, was shown at Amusement Expo 2024.
