Oh wow! Onimusha is back, you guys! And it looks CREEPY AF!

...Wait.

What do they mean this *isn't* Onimusha?

But...ugly demons and swords?

Uh...okay?

All right, real talk, apparently this is a brand new IP?

A new tale of the Kami awaits. Witness an epic clash between the sprit realm and mortal man, featuring traditional Japanese aesthetics.

Hmmm.

So they're totally not bringing back Onimusha just like Exoprimal totally isn't bringing back Dino Crisis.

Anyways, looks pretty AF the character, environment and monster designs are almost too detailed and beautiful I will spend much time just staring at the game holy crud.

Gameplay... Actually kind of hard to pin down? It doesn't look like a Stylish Action Game despite the style since working with a group seems to be a big part of it.

Capcom looking at all the announced Xianxia games and were like "We can do that too, but with Jidai Geki instead"

I love it.

I'm really liking the monster designs I'm seeing. Here's hoping we'll see even more awesome designs in the days to come.

Bumping this thread because Capcom recently released a few new videos about this game, including a "gameplay deep dive" which shows what the game is about and what to expect from the gameplay loop. Seems like a real time strategy + tower defense game.

The story takes place in a sacred mountain that has been overtaken by defilement. A maiden named Yoshiro can purify the defilement, but a group of monsters known as the Seethe seek her power. Luckily, she has a guardian named Soh, who is the player character, who can help lead her to tainted torii gates for her to purify and stop the spread of defilement.

During the day, Soh and Yoshiro go around purifying whatever defilement they can find and also rescuing villagers overtaken by the defilement. Rescued villagers can be assigned different roles and help prepare for the nighttime assault of the Seethe. When night comes, the Seethe appear to attack Yoshiro, so Soh needs to strategize how best to use each villager and other implements to protect her.

Capcom's been on a roll for awhile now. Honestly after they fumbled the bag with Steet Fight V they just seem to have decided to release banger after banger to wide critical and commercial acclaim.

BTW, does Kunitsu Gami already have its own page on TV Tropes? Or is it already applicable to have one based on the Unreleased Works guidelines? I'm curious on what's in the game, and I think some YMMV and Audience Reactions can already be "documented" so to speak.

Demo is very fun, if a bit on the simplistic side. If the press previews are any indication, the game is gonna get quite a more involved (and challenging) though.

An Amaterasu-themed armour and sword for the protagonist Soh, a Waka-themed kimono for shrine maiden Yoshiro, and the option to have tracks from the the Okami OST play as bgm.

Capcom are having an absolute hoot with this one, it seems. They also handcrafted their maps as dioramas to turn into 3D assets via photogrammetry, and rotoscoped their VFX from video footage.

Necroing this thread because this game is confirmed to get a port on the Nintendo Switch 2.

It's also getting a new game mode called "Otherworldly Venture" as a free update. I don't think there are any further details about what the game mode is like at the moment, but Capcom did mention they will reveal more details soon.
