Each section is shrouded in secrets, dangers, and intrigues. Battle monstrosities from the underworld known as Genma in a tale of dark fantasy.

What fate awaits him at the end of his journey?

The protagonist, Miyamoto Musashi

A passionate samurai who arrives in Kyoto to prove that he is unmatched in swordsmanship. However, the path ahead takes a strange and unexpected turn. The protagonist of this game is a combative young samurai who constantly moves from one bloody and fierce battle to the next. To solidify this image of a distinctive samurai, Capcom has enlisted none other than the late legendary Japanese samurai film icon Toshiro Mifune as the facial model for this portrayal of Miyamoto Musashi.

Equipped with the Oni Gauntlet, Musashi possesses powers beyond human limits. It not only gives him the strength needed to defeat the Genma but also grants him numerous other abilities, such as the power to absorb the souls of the Genma and convert them into an energy source to further enhance the bearer. But who is behind the voice that emanates from the gauntlet?.
