Onimusha: Warlords is about a samurai named Samanosuke Akechi and his partner, a ninja named Kaede, who are both on a quest to rescue a Japanese princess named Princess Yuki from a demon army that’s invaded her castle.
“As the two travel throughout the castle, they unravel a malevolent plot by those who would serve the evil lord Nobunaga Oda,” part of an official press release read. “Using sword-based combat, a magical Oni Gauntlet and puzzle solving, players need to call on both brawn and creativity to defeat the demonic foes.”
