Slow, dumb enemies that are often reluctant to attack you make defense an afterthought because pounding out the same three-hit combo stuns the demons long enough to keep them at bay. Sword fights are mashy and are often won just by constantly attacking without remorse. While the tank controls are thankfully optional now, the melee-based combat can not be so easily fixed. Onimusha’s primitive design is pervasive throughout much of the game especially in how it controls. Although it was typically regarded as a samurai game on the sharpest edge of the genre, the years since have turned it into glorified butter knife that has been dulled by the many advancements in ensuing years. Onimusha Warlords Remastered is one of those remasters getting pushed back out onto the market. While the original release date explains how the game is shaped, it doesn’t exempt it from the criticism of other, newer games. Re-releasing old games is a tricky business because nostalgia can often crumble when an old title is being judged by new standards.
