Context YMMV / OnimushaDawnOfDreams

Go To

1* BreatherBoss: Tenkai, due to his simple attacks.
2* CompleteMonster: [[spoiler:[[GodIsEvil Fortinbras, God of Light]], was born out of the primordial chaos as the first God, and sired the Genma race, making them to be malevolently evil beings without an iota of compassion. Fortinbras then created the human race but designated them [[ToServeMan to be food]] for the monstrous Genma, with their [[SoulEating souls devoured]] to further empower the beasts. Also [[TheChessmaster a cruel manipulator]], Fortinbras made {{deal|WithTheDevil}}s with humans power-hungry enough to sell their souls to him and handed out contracts to countless conquerors throughout history, whom Fortinbras viewed as his own disposable pawns. A megalomaniac mad with power, Fortinbras enables countless atrocities, as seen in his empowering of Oda Nobunaga and the nature of one of his creations, Guildenstern, hellbent on keeping all of humanity as nothing but slaves at best or food and victims for the Genma at worst.]]
3* ContestedSequel: ''Dawn Of Dreams'' tones down the overall difficulty with much more Action RPG elements. And additionally, this game didn't have Capcom's usual tendencies to use the trope InkSuitActor ([[spoiler:Tenkai at best only had Samanosuke's face, but otherwise he's a lot more unrecognizable]]), so the game loses out those who likes playing as someone similar to a live-action actor, or gains fans who didn't mind the lack of such and more attracted to the eased up difficulty.
4* GameBreaker:
5** ''Dawn of Dreams'' introduces the ability to do chain attacks off level 1 magic attacks, rendering many other ways of starting a chain effectively pointless. This addition also makes level 2 and 3 magic far less useful by comparison (except for level 2 and 3 light magic, which is [[AntiAir one of few ways]] to deal with flying enemies).
6*** However, Issen attacks dealt with a level 1 magic are less effective and grant you less red souls than a properly used Issen attack. Nonetheless, you'll still likely earn more than enough to upgrade your weapons and stats however.
7** The real game breaker is Jubei's BulletTime power. Her ability makes even the hardest boss fights a complete cakewalk.
