Thankfully, Onimusha: Warlords looks slightly better as the graphics have been upgraded to 1080p resolution on consoles and 1440p on PC. When outdoors, camerawork takes in expansive views from roof-less skies. The remaster did not really do much to the visuals as the game still looked pretty old and dingy.

Japan existed an alienating country for centuries. This is the story of Samanosuke, a Ronin with his own belief systems.

But, it’s stocked with eastern depictions of demons and ghouls while set in a feudal era that re-imagines Japan’s past. It’s a samurai tale, a hero rescuing a princess. In other words, Capcom clearly put some effort into porting the game to new platforms.
