Capcom’s Onimusha series has been on a long hiatus. Combining Resident Evil-style rendered backgrounds with more agile characters, adding in demons, magic and a feudal Japan setting, the series span multiple sequels — and consoles — til the fourth entry in 2006.

Resident Evil had me hiding, Pragmata made me solve puzzles mid-fight, and Onimusha nearly broke my sword hand. I got my hands on all three titles at a Gamescom event in New York City, and I can't wait for more.
