Capcom says Onimusha demo difficulty was intentional

Capcom released a demo of its upcoming action‑adventure game *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* ahead of the full launch slated for 25 September 2026. Players reported that the demo felt unusually easy. Producer Akihito Kadowaki responded that the demo was designed only to showcase the early story and a range of Musashi’s abilities, deliberately including moves from later in the game. He said, “First, the demo is just a slice of the early story. We intentionally equipped Musashi with final‑game abilities, so some players missed the challenge.” He added that the full game will feature tougher bosses and regular Genma enemies that will provide “a lot more fight.” The demo was also displayed at Gamescom last year, generating further discussion about its difficulty level.

Capcom has thanked players for their feedback and confirmed that the final release will present a more demanding experience.
