Launch Trailer - https://youtu.be/KG24TTOhg_A



Digital Foundry on Travis Strike Again (and other indie games on Switch) - https://youtu.be/jRsyIaGPcxQ



The original trailer - https://youtu.be/Ch_2MBzfmXY



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 7:23

Suda 51 visual and style

Fun hack n slash gameplay (with a 2 player mode)

Some of the games in Travis Strike Again are unique



Part 2 Cons - 7:29 to 16:11

Fix camera could be an issue for some

Can get a bit repetitive

Recharging your weapon is awkward

Censored Gaming on “THAT” scene - https://youtu.be/dr2lwRjFY6U



Part 1 Pro - 0:18 to 6:57

Gameplay is fun (Think Resident Evil but with Samurai)

Story is interesting

Game still looks good (for a game release all the way back in 2001)…



Part 2 Cons - 7:03 to 17:34

…However the visual and controls are going to be outdated for some

Original score not in this version (due to a controversy - https://www.eurogamer.net/articles/2014-02-05-resident-evil-and-onimusha-composer-exposed-as-a-fraud)

Genma Onimusha, unfortunately, is not in this version - https://www.cnet.com/news/onimusha-warlords-remaster-coming-to-ps4-xbox-one-switch-and-steam/
