Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny Gameplay
Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny retains gameplay mechanics similar to its predecessor, with a fixed camera perspective reminiscent of early Resident Evil titles developed by Capcom. Players control Jubei Yagyu, along with four other characters—Oyu, Kotaro Fuma, Magoichi Saiga, and Ekei Ankokuji. The game features branching story paths influenced by the player's relationship with these allies, determined by an affinity system. Affinity can be increased through interactions such as giving gifts, and at key moments in the story, players may take control of different allies depending on these relationships.
Combat includes a variety of melee and ranged weapons, including swords, spears, hammers, and bows. Each weapon can be enhanced, and players can also harness elemental magic attacks with unique effects. The Critical Attack mechanic returns, allowing players to perform powerful counterattacks by timing their strikes just before an enemy lands a hit. These attacks can be chained for increased effectiveness.
Defeated enemies drop different types of souls—red, blue, yellow, and purple—each serving a specific purpose. Red souls are used to upgrade weapons and items, while collecting five purple souls temporarily transforms the player into the powerful, invincible Onimusha form. The game also includes puzzle-solving elements, optional side quests, and features demon enemies known as the Genma.
