A small, focused starting point

Onimusha: Way of the Sword follows Miyamoto Musashi in a supernatural version of Edo-period Kyoto. The Oni Gauntlet and the demonic Genma are central to its sword-fighting adventure. This collection starts with the decisions new players face: what to practise, how to distinguish defensive options, and what the published PC specifications actually promise.

The new coverage is organized around those questions. Each guide has a clear scope, dated sources and a next step. Use the beginner checklist alongside your own game session; it stores your checked items in this browser and can export a plain-text copy.

How to use the references

Read the short explanation before trying an unfamiliar action. If you need an exact input, check your control bindings. If a performance claim matters to your purchase decision, read the conditions attached to it. If a guide and the current game disagree, keep the page URL and version information when reporting the difference.
