With unbelievably detailed graphics and expansive environments that exceeds
its predecessor, Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams includes major enhancements to the
franchise such as new character interactions and evolved cooperative gameplay
elements. With a brand new game system, players can choose a fellow warrior to
assist Soki in battle at any given time. Watch as the pair combines their power
to perform ultimate attack moves to eliminate enemies. Furthermore, gamers can
order his or her ally to wait, attack or act on the defensive. Players can also
rapidly change between the two onscreen characters, allowing them to control the
partner he or she had escorted into battle and relegating the main hero to ally
status. This new system takes advantage of each character’s skill and adds a new
dimension to the gameplay.

Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams possesses a compelling cast of warriors, each with
their own unique abilities, attacks and storyline including: Soki, with his
broadsword, is viewed amongst the Oni as the world’s last hope against the Genma
and whose power could potentially be humanities greatest threat; Akane, whose
mastery of the martial arts grants her extra mobility, and can wield her sword
with speed and grace; Tenkai is a mysterious monk who can hear the voices of the
dead and use his staff to fend off enemies; Ohatsu is the niece of Nobunaga Oda
who uses a grappling hook to swing across gaps and firearms to eradicate the
Genma; Born to a Japanese mother and Spanish father, Roberto is a missionary who
wants vengeance for the Genma’s persecution of his friends. Unlike Onimusha
characters before him, Roberto specializes in hand-to-hand combat.
