Extended Product Information

FAQs

Does this game require knowledge of previous Onimusha titles?

While it draws on the legacy of the franchise, Way of the Sword is a new installment that can be enjoyed as a standalone experience.

What is unique about the Lenticular Edition?

The Lenticular Edition includes exclusive packaging with a specialized, depth-effect cover that brings the game's key art to life.

Can I use a custom controller for better combat performance?

The game supports standard Playstation controllers, and using a pro-style controller with mappable back buttons can help manage complex combat inputs.

How do I regain health in the game?

Health is primarily managed by absorbing souls from defeated Genma using the Oni Gauntlet or by finding specific healing items throughout Kyoto.

Is this game available for other platforms?

Yes, there are versions available for Xbox consoles, though the Lenticular Edition packaging is specific to the Playstation release.

Does the game include side quests?

The world of Edo-era Kyoto is filled with hidden paths and optional encounters that provide additional lore and character upgrades.

Troubleshooting

Game fails to launch from the disc

Ensure the disc is clean and check that your Playstation console is connected to the internet to download required day-one patches.

Combat feels unresponsive or slow

Check your TV settings for high input lag; disabling 'Motion Smoothing' or 'Post-Processing' features on the television often fixes input delay.

Difficulty is too high in early stages

Revisit earlier areas to farm Genma souls, which allow you to upgrade your Oni Gauntlet and increase your base health and weapon strength.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-fidelity combat mechanics that honor the series' legacy
  • Atmospheric and detailed recreation of historical Kyoto
  • Deep character progression through the Oni Gauntlet system
  • Unique collector-grade lenticular packaging

Cons

  • High difficulty level may frustrate less experienced action gamers
  • Niche appeal focused specifically on the Onimusha lore
  • Requires significant time investment to master combat timing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To play, insert the disc into your Playstation console and ensure your system software is updated to the latest version to support all game features. For the best visual performance, ensure your television is set to Game Mode to minimize input lag. To care for your Lenticular Edition disc and case, store the game in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight, which can fade the lenticular surface over time. Clean the disc only with a lint-free cloth, wiping from the center outward, and handle by the edges to prevent oils from affecting the laser reading surface.
