Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny

Hack-and-slash set in feudal Japan where you play as Jubei, fighting demons and upgrading weapons by defeating enemies. Combat centers on collecting special weapons from fallen foes, then enhancing them as you progress. Four companion characters appear throughout the story, each with their own subplot that connects to Jubei's main quest. Your decisions during play determine which allies actually join you for certain segments. The game mixes third-person combat encounters with environmental exploration across period Japanese settings. If you liked the first Onimusha but wanted more character depth and player choice affecting the narrative, this builds on that foundation with a broader cast and branching companion system.
