Onimusha 3 is the third game of the Onimusha series. The game retains elements from previous games in the franchise including the use of multiple special weapons in order to fight enemies and absorb their energy to enhance the weaponry. This time the player primarily controls both Samanosuke and Jacques in separate scenarios. The two are able to exchange items in order to solve puzzles. The development from this game started after the release of the PlayStation 2 which allowed the team to work on a 3D engine to design 3D backgrounds. In order to appeal to the Western market, the team set this game in Paris and chose French actor Jean Reno to portray Jacques. Onimusha 3 has been generally well received by publications for video games. Most of the writer's praise focused on the improved controls and the use of a 3D engine that allowed better combat and visuals, respectively. The game also generated good sales with over 1.5 million copies sold as of May 2008. Read less

A game where the main characters got isekai'd is quite rare so this one is pretty interesting so far. Kinda wish the game would ditch the fixed camera angle by now since they already replaced pre-rendered background with fully modeled 3D but good thing they kept the tank control around so the combat is still manageable.

Beat on loan from my coworker right after beating 2. FINALLY they fixed the damn dodging controls and I could play the game sensibly.

Beat on loan from my coworker right after beating 2. FINALLY they fixed the damn dodging controls and I could play the game sensibly. I don't remember details but I do not believe I maxed everything out. I most likely did all of the optional Dark Realms. This game was a significant improvement over the first 2 games but still did not quite nail the survival horror atmosphere of the first game; it feels far more like Ninja Gaiden or Devil May Cry. Had a lot of fun playing the various characters. My only real complaint about the game is the voice acting. They actor whose likeness is used for the French character voices the French lines but not English. I don't see why they couldn't have hired him to do the English lines too; I know he can.

8.0/10.
