Like the original Onimusha: Warlords, the sequel shares many similarities with Capcom's elder survival-horror franchise Resident Evil, especially with regard to its " tank control" character movement and use of pre-rendered backgrounds.

With assistance from the powerful Oni as well as some newfound human allies, Jubei swears to destroy Nobunaga once and for all and halt the demons' plans for conquest. He returns home only to find the settlement wiped out by the demonic forces of resurrected warlord Nobunaga Oda. Set in feudal Japan, the plot follows a wandering swordsman named Jubei Yagyu who receives news of an attack on his home village. Onimusha 2: Samurai's Destiny is an action-adventure game developed by Capcom and exclusively released for PlayStation 2 in 2002.
