ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS - PS2 (RESTART)

Onimusha: Warlords is set in the year 1560 in feudal Japan as the powerful and feared warlord, Nobunaga Oda begins his journey to rule Japan. Nobunaga has just defeated Yoshimoto Imagawa, another famous warlord, with a surprise attack and now prepares to attack the famous Yoshitatsu Saito Castle in Mino Prefecture.

During a chaotic battle, a young princess is kidnapped. The renegade, Samanosuke, a samurai warrior and master swordsman, volunteers to free the princess, but a legion of demon warriors stands between him and the princess. Based on both a real Japanese story and Capcom's fictional tales, Onimusha: Warlords will entertain all who take up the challenge.

Onimusha: Warlords invents a new weapon system. As players progress through the game, they obtain three different gems that fit into Samanosuke's glove - wind, fire, or thunder affect the player's weapons. The player can use these different effects to damage an opponent or solve a puzzle. Players must use strategy when choosing the appropriate gem, and some areas of the game are unreachable until the player uses the right gem in the right place. Samanosuke's glove is also used to collect life energy from defeated enemies. This life energy provides players with both magic power and health points that aid them in their adventure.
