The story of the title revolves around samurai Samanosuke Akechi of feudal Japan going on a mission with ninja Kaede on a mission to save Princess Yuki from invading demon hordes that led an attacked on her. Even though it simply started as a quest to retrieve the Princess in the beginning, it turns out to be a major sinister plan soon. Aside from wielding his katana for sword-fighting, Samanosuke also employs a mystical Oni Gauntlet to replenish health and empower his weapons.

What many fans from today do not know is that Onimusha: Warlords was originally planned as a spin-off title of their survival horror flagship series of Resident Evil. They initially planned to set the game on a mansion with booby traps and hidden passages with ninjas lurking around in every corner to take you down. However, they eventually decided to go on a different path and we got a good game instead of a disaster. The fixed camera angle feature is the one aspect that remained though.

The newly released version of the game will have a set of new features with this re-release and to play as a duty-bound samurai will be lot more enjoyable than it ever was. From its cinematic shorts to character and environment design, everything received a high-definition upgrade. Both the default display screen and a modern widescreen display is there to choose from except for a select few menus. Whether you want to play it old school style or with modern controls, you are in for a treat.
