Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams is the fourth Onimusha title to appear on the Playstation 2, and the first outside of what was supposed to be the only three games in the series in the original trilogy.

Multiply the 17 stages by the five characters in the game and you quickly realize that you have a lot of options.
