It's probably been the toughest project I've ever worked on but the Onimusha video is finally live!

It's ended up being ludicrously detailed and thanks to a lack of focus driven by my treatment, I've indulged every single tangent I wanted to pursue - creating a frankly absurd video about a very niche and very strange series.

So enjoy! I hope you all have a great week and enjoy the fruits of my labour.

(There is also a special message at the end of the video specifically for my patrons)

Onimusha Series Retrospective | A Complete History and Review

The channel has another gift for you thanks to the Patrons! - https://patreon.com/IFinishedAVideoGame TWITTER - https://twitter.com/IFinishedAGame DISCORD - https://discord.gg/VFe6v9GFGX Once upon a time The Onimusha Series sat at the cutting edge of Capcom's early 2000s catalogue - outselling Resident Evil, Devil May Cry and Street Fighter and introducing the world to a twisted world of fantastical samurai, haunting demons and genuine Japanese history. So what went wrong? How did the games go from PlayStation 2 phenomenon to utter failure within a single generation? and could it ever come back? In a world currently obsessed with everything from Ghost of Tsushima to Shogun - we're going to explore the vast history of one of the most peculiar video game series in existence and find out what links Mega man, Final Fantasy, Yakuza and Godzilla into one single confusing franchise. It's part critique, part retrospective, part review and part history lesson - obviously full of spoilers and obviously full of my opinions === Credit for the incredible thumbnail goes to the immensely talented - @MicahTheBrave All media in this video is used for the purpose of review, commentary or criticism and is defined as fair use under US Copyright law.

Fantastic, unfortunately I won't be able to watch until next weekend. Hope you get chance to rest up now it's done.

Lovely surprise to see this pop up! Look forward to watching soon. Thank you!

It was so interesting to find out the reason behind the discrepancy between Onimusha 3's trailer (the only one I even knew about because of its focus on marketing to westerners) and actual game because that's something I was pretty baffled by when playing it originally. This was actually before widespread internet usage in my country, and that trailer was all I was even exposed to about the game, even after some time from the game's release. So seeing how they were contracted for it, and how it was actually a bit detrimental to the overall reception was a super interesting watch. Thanks for this excellent retrospective!

Really enjoyed the video. I've been subbed and watching your retrospectives since the original Prince of Persia one. Crazy how time flies, imagine my face when you brought out the Indiana Jones video and talked about Emperor's Tomb. I remember like it was yesterday, I must've been about 9 or 10 years old, my mum asked me if I wanted to go to the ice rink and I missed out so I could play this. I still regret it haha. Your video brought those good times right back. Was nice to see that video, and really nice to watch this Onimusha retrospective. Wishing you the best in your health, man. Really enjoy the retros you put out, easily my favourite channel.

Getting to the end of the video only to hear about your current situation hit me like a truck. I'm so sorry to hear about what you're going through, dude. Happy to support you during this time.
