REQUEST [Request] [Steam] ONIMUSHA ( IGN gave it a 10, 6th attempt)
Good morning everyone, I hope everyone is doing well
I have always been a fan of action and combat heavy games, So out of curiosity I tried Onimusha DEMO and my god it was incredible, the game combat feels like a perfect mix of Ghost of tushima and sekiro, the whole demo was 30min approx i be honest i really enjoyed a good sword combat game after a long time since sekiro, I saw IGN give this game a 10/10 now I can't control my excitement to play this game, as I was mainly looking for combat and every reviewer is saying it is the best compared to every game out there, so I know I made a last attempt as final but now I want to play this game more than ever :)
There were many things which I liked about onimusha and one of them was the deflection if you press the block/parry button your character will perform different animations based upon where attack is coming from, there are 2 types of parry one is a normal one and for other one you need to press LB+A does a cool animation and instant stun enemies looks fire, there are other things like You can use wooden planks as a shield to block range attacks, ghost of tushima style chain finishers but only works on stun enemies and lot more super cool stuff.
There are 2 new things which i loved and have never seen in any action game
the soul absorption system : during combat when you attack deflect or finish a enemy they release orbs which can be of 3 colors red for upgrades, blue for oni meter and yellow to restore health, so its like a constant battle to absorb they orbs and attacking dodging parrying mid combat really loved it in end boss fight of demo
Lethal Issen : i recently learned about this term when i saw the early review, what it does is when you press deflect exactly when enemy attack it instantly obliterate that enemy in a single flash but timing is so tight but i actually mastered it in the demo and yep it does not work in boss battles instead its stun them.
I don't know much about the world of onimusha specifically but it is set in Sengoku period just like sekiro and Got and both i absolutely adore. I am genuinely excited to play this game already finished the demo multiple times,There is one good news recently I got admission in a good college and started my master's degree in computer science everyone in family is so happy and it's like a huge opportunity for me to get a decent package job as a result my playtime which used to have 60-70 hours of playtime per 2 weeks on steam and now it's below 20hrs from last 1 month
They added/ extended the demo a new area including puzzle and a new boss with 2 phases, it was a little challenging but not as the last one but presentation was much better played him few times and i thought if this is one of the side bosses then the complete game would be so fun.
I really don't have money to buy it with current circumstances. I would be incredibly grateful for this game, i have completed every game which i got through r/GiftofGames and i promise to do the same for this game ( including completing 100% achievements).
Big Games I have are mostly gifts from this subreddit and friends + saving money through cs2 prime one time with some luck, regional cost for this game is 45$ approx and Thank you for reading this long request :)
