Why so many puzzles? Capcom Quest of Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams. That episode everyone doesn't like.
It's a shame such a awesome series was ended with a game like this. I hope a new Onimusha comes along to change that.
Unfortunately, the word that most sums up this Onimusha is tiredness. In several parts I was lost not knowing what to do.
There is an infinity of weapons for each character, which I found VERY unnecessary, because you need to level up them and you won't have so many souls for it.
I don't understand why, but Hideyasu "Sōki" it's so weak, and I used cheat to be able to level EVERYTHING up, and even then I wasn't able to do high damage.
On the other hand, Ohatsu is much better, she attacks from a distance and takes good damage, even her "demon" mode is nice.
If you don't know the perfect strategy to kill some bosses, you will suffer a lot. I have no idea how to kill this bug correctly, I only managed to because I had a lot of hp potion.
Several parts don't motivate you to kill enemies, because the protagonist is VERY weak and also nothing will stop you from advancing to the next screen. This final part appears several enemies, but you have just to advance.
The final boss is very tiring, the kind you have to wait a LONG time to attack. Anyway, I can only praise the story and graphics, otherwise it's better to play other Onimusha.
