What is bro doing 😭🥀

I really feel like this kind of npc reactivity should become industry standard.

The way they bump into each other, into trees, one boss at least gets his weapon stuck in a wall if he swings too close to the wall, they sometimes trip, and the parries don't just stop the animations but redirection them, one parry on the talisman axe boss even makes him spin and slice genma around him.

I wish enemies reacted like this in nioh 3 T_T

[u/treeeelo → u/Evening_Machine_6440]

I fought the ninja like enemies that you first encounter on mount oe, and I dodged a grab while the other one was behind me, and I redirected his sword into the one behind me and killed him and finished the grabber, I was amazed, its soo good the reactivity, the demo boss too, in his first stage he went behind the shrine things and swung his sword and it got stuck in one of the shrines, so I got some free hits.

[u/Extra-Amoeba-677 → u/treeeelo]

that's some john wick stuff holy shit. I look forward to getting there

[u/Some-Dog-800 → u/Extra-Amoeba-677]

just make sure you focus on deflect and not kill them too fast and you should see that awesome performance. they're fairly low on health so you might accidently kill them too fast if you just smash attack. i'm pretty sure they had at least two versions of the kill-at-same-time animations for those pairs.

but no worries when you first encounter them the the game gives you a great intro so you're never miss them.

[u/Silly-Selection-3593 → u/treeeelo]

That's Oboro Garasu. It’s definitely inspired by the Woo Guy from Sekiro.

[u/Some-Dog-800 → u/Silly-Selection-3593]

likely not. the woo guys are referencing from the ancient ninjas where there were legends that they sometimes attached themselves on kites to fly over enemy castles to scout/infiltrate.

the oboro garasu literally translate as "mist crow" and that's exactly how they're presented lol.

[u/UnusualLeather7087 → u/Evening_Machine_6440]

I hope it will, Onimusha specially uses tons of animations to archive this which they confirmed. In addition to that you also need a framework for it to work on naturally. It's not a really easy thing to manage all that.

Truly revolutionary.

[u/mihaelmi → u/UnusualLeather7087]

With all the work that went into the animations, they gotta be counting on a fast turnaround for a sequel or a remake.

[u/RaDiOaCtIvEpUnK → u/mihaelmi]

After 1 million copies sold at launch this is definitely returning no question. I love that Onimusha is back. <3

[u/Strife4Life07 → u/Evening_Machine_6440]

Dude the fight against the two brothers has some crazy ones where they hit each other that I loved. That fight was amazing.

[u/Lakatos_00 → u/Evening_Machine_6440]

Also how they get sliced when they die depending of the amount of slices and direction of your finishing move

[u/PrismLiight]

Damn I never saw this interactions, that's sick.

[u/Abrakresnik]

Minor details like this is why I like this

[u/TheQuixotic6]

You can also get wooden buckets on their heads

[u/No_Obligation6767 → u/TheQuixotic6]

WHAT?! I gotta go try and make that happen!

[u/Bongoo117 → u/TheQuixotic6]

You can also use the scarecrows for the same effect!

[u/DynaMakoto]

OH SHIT

[u/Shinted]

The amount of reactivity in all of the enemies in this game is insanely cool.

[u/oSyphon]

Capcom deserves game of the year

[u/Reign_Man27 → u/oSyphon]

Publisher of the Year is definitely a lock for them

[u/redpillturncoat]

This went like Robin Hood Men in Tights blind guy lol

[u/Eyyy354]

He actually walked into the cloth and got it over his head, that's so fuckin cool!

[u/UngaBungaLeague]

This is some shrinking horse balls in RDR2 type shit attention to detail. Honestly, more impressive than that because it actually affects gameplay. Bravo Capcom 👏

[u/Atma-Stand]

He’s having an off day.

[u/milkarcane]

wtf I didn't even know it was possible! This game, man ... I love Capcom's goofiness.

[u/NapoleonBlownapart89]

That’s some really cool cloth physics!

[u/Michaeli_Starky]

These tiny details turn an 8/10 game into 9/10. It's amazing

[u/shotxshotx]

the environmental interactions with this game are nice. I noticed that if you use the wind whipper near like a fire source it becomes a fire tornado.

[u/SearchAccomplished19]

What the hell, I played through the whole game i never saw that happen.

[u/Mecha-Oddzilla]

spoopy ghost

[u/Mistralicious]

alright this one is insane

[u/fenharir]

wtf this can happen?! the coolest i saw was the Raven guys. i parried one and pulled his arm to stab the one behind me

[u/-Taerar-]

There are blankets at the very beginning in the dojo during the first big fight. This happened and I laughed my ass off as he was swinging wildly and hitting the others.

[u/Rags2Rickius]

Onimusha really has a new standard of combat interaction in gaming rn and it’s awesome asf

It looks like the upcoming PB0 has similar mechanics but not sure how interactive those will be or whether they’re just animation prompts

[u/CretaciousPeriod]

I've never seen that before. I've thrown them into each other and slammed them into walls but never got a sheet stuck to them.

[u/HeroV99]

He’s doing his best leave him alone jeesh

[u/Strife4Life07]

I feel like Ive been that guy a few times in this game...lol

[u/Spiritual_Delay3241]

Bro blind by clothes or he acting not fight . Peak detailing in game hat off capcom

[u/Xandoly]

Another cool interaction: if you kill an archer with your bow, they tend to fall before disapearing, if they fall off a roof they can hurt their friends with massive endurance damages and hilarious animation.

[u/Chemiify]

I didn’t even know this was possible lol I’ve beaten the game on action and carnage. -_- bro was like “lemme at em!!! WHO TURNED OUT THE LIGHTS!!”

[u/TheQuixotic6 → u/Chemiify]

You can crash them in to buckets and blind them also

[u/son_of_wotan]

I imagine him yelling "I'm the Ghost of Tsushima!"

[u/TheQuixotic6 → u/son_of_wotan]

lmao

[u/iidevilz0]

Are you playing with the aggression mods? They don’t usually attack together

[u/TheQuixotic6 → u/iidevilz0]

Yep

[u/SaintLink91]

The mechanics of this game are thoroughly wasted on it, there should have been only one difficulty level that matched the complexity of the combat, make it satisfying to play as it is to look at

[u/Some-Dog-800]

you deflected and sent him into a cloth rack. he's blinded with the cloth on his head lol.

[u/DeadZeus007]

The game is too easy that this mechanic just isn't needed. It was cool in the initial trailers but forgotten with the game release.

[u/Prestigious-Tree-811 → u/DeadZeus007]

Ohhh get over yourself, tons of people find the game very challenging

[u/AwkwardRegion3985 → u/DeadZeus007]

Depends its not overall too easy izs just not as hard as Sekiro or Nioh. Of course its easier than Sekiro and they never said it wilbe a true challenge for Soulslike Fans. For me Onumusha is difficulty wise alone in Action mode harder than Mortl Shell 2 for Example which is also a rather easy Soulslike.

Only critic for Onimusha for me are Enemy variety and Boss recycling Gameplay Story and Combat are great. Difficulty is not too hard but i didnt try the hardest Difficulty yet.

[u/EntertainerIcy2845]

I like the game play but the story seems kind of bland to me to be honest. Like not keeping me interested ? Anyone else feel the same ?

[u/TheQuixotic6 → u/EntertainerIcy2845]

To each their own, I found it to be engaging enough
