New Okami and Onimusha Games
The reveal of the Okami sequel and Onimusha Way of the Sword mark the first new entry in either franchise in the last 18 years. Capcom revealed that it is planning to broaden the range of video game titles that it puts out and make more profit.
Talking about Onimusha, is an action game that lets players take control of a swordsman who has supernatural powers. They are tasked with fighting a near-endless wave of monsters. The Japanese company said that it was hoping that players are looking forward to hacking and slashing through hordes of evil creatures.
On the other hand, Okami is a video game series that focuses more on art instead of combat. Players take control of Amaterasu, the Shinto sun goddess. She has taken on the form of a white wolf and has to fight her way through Japan.
She is in search of Celestial Brush powers that can help players progress further into the game. Okami is a colorful and stunning gaming experience that is filled with interesting Japanese mythology, according to Digital Trends.
