Magazines basically promised a "Feudal Japan Resident Evil" so I was pretty disappointed when the game turned out to be more action oriented than that; considering Devil May Cry was released the same year, the whole fixed-camera approach feels a bit outdated and misguided.

Ironically the real "RE but with Samurai" was made by Konami 4 years early.

It's surprising no snoy hipster has drawn the conclusion yet between this stuff and the concept of "moving hold" in traditional animation (even if that is intentional). With perfectly smooth mapping, low poly models feels more static, while the little warping artifacts make these look more alive.

Pointless when it comes to environment geometry though

Ronin Blade/Soul of the Samurai, aka Sengoku Resident Evil

Konami's Soul of the Samurai/Ronin Blade feels more attuned to the genre than Onimusha in terms of pacing and atmosphere. Overall is only slightly above mediocre, but the rhythm-based combat system is fun and satisfying, and there's little bits of charm here and there, like the save point haikus and the fun sword collecting

You're missing Soul of the Samura/Ronin Blade as a survival horror hybrid-ish

Soul of the Samurai. I see it dismissed a lot as a low effort RE clone, but I love the timing-base combat and weapon collecting, the comfy setting and the save point haikus

SotS is indeed a mediocre Resident Evil clone (complete with Kurisu and Jiru protagonists) but the cozy period setting and the fun timing-based combat sort of make up for it

Ronin Blade / Soul of the Samurai is a flawed but neat Resident Evil clone set in a chambara-type universe, but keeping the zombies and general body horror stuff around.

The fact that the combat is based around swordplay takes away some of the tension and survival aspects, but it also makes the game super comfy and satisfying to master
