Capcom's Onimusha series takes a departure from its single player roots in the new multiplayer fighting game, Onimusha Blade Warriors for the PlayStation 2. Including familiar story elements and gameplay mechanics such as absorbing enemy souls, Blade Warriors focuses on a unique fighting engine where up to four players can battle simultaneously. Fighting takes place in multi-tiered, ancient Japanese styled environments, as well as a few special levels inspired by other classic Capcom games. Fourteen fighters from the Onimusha universe are selectable from the start of the game, and over a dozen hidden characters (including Capcom's famed Mega Man) await players.
