10/10 game - this review is for my repeat playthrough with the Onamusha character. At first it just feels like the main character but you stance switch between shooting and sword. But the saving grace is that they split core mechanics between the stances. the red stance actually does more shot damage than blue, and blue stance gives you the main dodge, which lets you dodge bullets that red 's dodge can't. blue also has the healing parry, making it actually useful in melee combat. It's a fresh take since each stance actually has its own use in gun and melee combat. I do think the star stance is a bit underwhelming since you dont get to use it often, but it does have great bullet damage, which you can use to get through some BS bullet phases.
