  • Summary: Get ready for a new kind of Onimusha, where every move is a struggle for power. In Onimusha Tactics, you'll join Onimaru, a young Ogre clan warrior on a quest to defeat Nobunaga and his Genma armies. You must call upon your demon powers and sword skills to fight against evil legions. Manage your resources and equipment, assemble your allies, recruit the strongest warriors, and then move in for the attack. Don't forget to absorb the souls of your fallen enemies--their Ogre stones let you create new items. Expand

  1. It is a great game because of the involving story. That is the one aspect that it does better than its competitors, and in that respect, it more than makes up for its other misgivings.
  2. The game has all of the trappings of a long, enjoyable experience. [Dec 2003, p.148]
  3. It's more significant for the plot threads it weaves than the gaming innovations ti offers. [Feb 2004, p.92]
  4. A soulless cash-in. Every aspect of the game seems hostile to anyone intending to actually play the game. The story is mediocre, the interface is obtuse, the combat is oversimplified and there's little to do or find.

    This is the best game ever. Easy to play, good story, great graphic. The start may make people get bored but keep play more than 1 hour, you will see how good it is. Not like other gba game. Collapse
