Today, let’s talk about Deflecting ememies' attacks, a move that greatly reduces the enemy’s stamina in Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
To deflect an attack using a DualSense controller, simply hold L1 to block and press another button with the right timing. Even if you miss the timing, you will still be blocking, so you can keep trying with low risk.
We have two control types in the game. In the aforementioned type, you deflect with an additional input while blocking, and in the alternative type, you’ll need to time a single button input instead, which makes it a little more challenging. Choose whichever style best fits your play!
I was planning to share the control guide we’ll be showing at Tokyo Game Show… but it seems I was getting ahead of myself. That’ll be revealed later!
For now, here’s a photo of a stage in the game, Dokyo's Underground Laboratory.
