How Long Does It Take to Beat Onimusha: Way of the Sword?

Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the newest entry in Capcom's long-running franchise, serving as a reboot of sorts to be equally approachable for both new and returning players. This outing remains set in feudal Japan, but it casts players as a new character, historical swordsman Miyamoto Musashi, who finds himself unexpectedly thrust into a war against immortal demons. Whether you're interested in what this new take on an old series brings to the table, or perhaps have already started making your way through its gorgeous world, you may be wondering how long it'll take to reach the game's ending. Lucky for you, you've come to the right place. Here's how long it takes to beat Onimusha: Way of the Sword. How Long Does It Take To Beat Onimusha: Way of the Sword? Advertisement Onimusha: Way of the Sword is the longest game in the franchise by far, with an average playthrough taking around 20-25 hours. This includes spending some time exploring the levels and finding some of the necessary upgrade materials and such, which will make your experience more manageable — especially against the game's often extremely tough bosses. Of course, that hour count assumes you're playing the game on the standard Action difficulty mode, which provides a considerable challenge that is certain to test the mettle of even the most seasoned hack-and-slash veterans. There's always the option of Story mode, which brings the punishment down dramatically without any consequences to your save file. For those going for 100% completion, however, you'll also need to beat the campaign on an even harder unlockable mode, meaning that getting every trophy or achievement in this game will require at least two playthroughs and a whole lot of patience and dedication. If you're looking to get the most possible out of Onimusha: Way of the Sword, though, it'll be worth the time and effort to earn those bragging rights.
