Joguei no emulador de ps2, tava com saudades de jogar um jogo simples e divertido. A história do jogo é simples e nada complexa, o gameplay é bom(é um resident evil samurai, com varios backtrack muito bem feito e satisfatório), os gráficos são meio ruins pra um jogo de ps2, e o jogo é bem curto com uma campanha não tão memorável. 6/10
it was alright from what i played, need to go back to it eventually
its no Kuon
The missing link between Resident Evil and Devil May Cry, Onimusha's tank control swordplay and pared-down Spencer Mansion-esque level design are a great time. The translation and voice acting are beyond questionable, but that's its own sort of charm, and the only real issue I can say I have with this game is the fact that having to put exp into leveling up your magic orbs in order to open locked doors which are necessary to progress is a bit of a fucking drag. Highly recommended.
I came into this genre pretty late but I'll never understand tank controls for this type of game. The dubbed VAs were so funny that it gets an extra star.
The controls and the camerawork are a stroke of genius, though there are times when they don't get along with the otherwise enjoyable level design. Everything else seems kinda bland for now, and I partially blame the bad english translation for that, since it unintentionally robs the narrative of any seriousness, drama, heart, and sometimes even readability!
