Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

Action-adventure game where you alternate between two playable characters—samurai Samanosuke and French fighter Jacques—across different time periods. Combat relies on sword-based fighting with timed blocks and special attacks. The character-switching mechanic ties into puzzle-solving: items collected as one character can be sent to the other, unlocking paths or solutions neither could access alone. Set partly in a 3D-rendered Paris, the game uses fixed camera angles typical of early 2000s action titles. Jacques was modeled after and voiced by actor Jean Reno. Expect environmental puzzles alongside the hack-and-slash combat, with each character handling distinct scenarios that eventually converge. Appeals to players who enjoyed the series' mix of melee combat and light puzzle elements.
