Description
With unbelievably detailed graphics and expansive environments that exceeds its predecessor, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams includes major enhancements to the franchise such as new character interactions and evolved cooperative gameplay elements. With a brand new game system, players can choose a fellow warrior to assist Soki in battle at any given time. Watch as the pair combines their power to perform ultimate attack moves to eliminate enemies. Furthermore, gamers can order his or her ally to wait, attack or act on the defensive. Players can also rapidly change between the two onscreen characters, allowing them to control the partner he or she had escorted into battle and relegating the main hero to ally status. This new system takes advantage of each character’s skill and adds a new dimension to the gameplay.
Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams possesses a compelling cast of warriors, each with their own unique abilities, attacks and storyline including: Soki, with his broadsword, is viewed amongst the Oni as the world’s last hope against the Genma and whose power could potentially be humanities greatest threat; Akane, whose mastery of the martial arts grants her extra mobility, and can wield her sword with speed and grace; Tenkai is a mysterious monk who can hear the voices of the dead and use his staff to fend off enemies; Ohatsu is the niece of Nobunaga Oda who uses a grappling hook to swing across gaps and firearms to eradicate the Genma; Born to a Japanese mother and Spanish father, Roberto is a missionary who wants vengeance for the Genma’s persecution of his friends. Unlike Onimusha characters before him, Roberto specializes in hand-to-hand combat.
