For all the hard work the heroes of the Onimusha series have had to do, slaying countless demons and zombies in their effort to vanquish the power-hungry warlord Nobunaga, they've been woefully unable to finish the job. Nobunaga returns once again as the main bad guy waiting for you at the end of Onimusha 3: Demon Siege. However, this time the adventure doesn't just take place in medieval Japan, but also in present-day France. The game stars Samanosuke, the noble samurai from the original Onimusha, and it also introduces a new main character, Jacques, a French commando bearing the distinctive likeness of actor Jean Reno (The Professional, Ronin). In addition to the unlikely cast and the time-twisting premise, Onimusha 3 also features a control scheme that's vastly improved over its predecessors, and it ultimately offers up a substantial single-player action adventure filled with impressive visuals, lots of fast action, and a few clever twists. Fans of the Onimusha series will certainly enjoy this episode, as would just about anybody intrigued by the premise of the game.
Onimusha 3 begins as Samanosuke, along with a small army, is assaulting the fortress in which Nobunaga has been pinned down. It would be a very short game if this were to be the warlord's last stand, so instead, a temporal rift suddenly appears during the confrontation, and Samanosuke is whisked away to Paris in 2004--and he's not the only one. The sorts of demonic fiends--called genma--that have plagued medieval Japan now appear in droves in the streets of France, and they begin slaughtering everyone in sight. One of the survivors of this onslaught is Jacques, who unwittingly becomes Samanosuke's counterpart. Both men gain the favor of the Oni, in the form of a soul-sucking gauntlet and the ability to wield elementally imbued weapons. And even as Samanosuke ends up in the present, sure enough, Jacques ends up in medieval Japan. Now, with the help of a little winged spirit named Ako (basically a black-winged Tinkerbell), who can conveniently whisk her way across space and time, these two warriors will need to put a stop to Nobunaga's nefarious time-traveling schemes--and hopefully find a way back to their respective eras.
