This week, we travel back to the medieval days of 2001 with Capcom’s PS2 hit, Onimusha! The basic idea of the game is to set a supernatural horror story in the feudal era of Japanese history. In practice, we get nonstop insanity that also happens to have samurai.

Onimusha follows vagabond/hippie samurai Samanosuke Aketchi as he battles legions of hellish demons to rescue his cousin, who was kidnapped mostly because she’s a princess and hey, that’s like half the job description. Somehow caught up in the middle of all this is actual historical figures like Nobunaga Oda and Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who may or may not have been bankrolled by cave-dwelling hell monsters the whole time. Also, Hamlet is involved, but don’t worry about that.
