Onimusha: Way of the Sword Won’t Be Open-World Or Souls-Like, Promises Director
According to Nihei, Onimusha: Way of The Sword isn’t a game that takes place in an open world, nor is it a challenging game where you die and have to start over (similar to souls-like games). Although experienced action game players may enjoy it, the intention was to create a game that even those who don’t typically play action games would find enjoyable. In Onimusha: Way of The Sword, the main emphasis is on capturing the feeling of sword clashes through the action itself.
