I was originally introduced to this at my grandfathers house, and my aunt had a friend make me a cracked version when i was young (my aunt is only 5 years older than me), with the next time I came across it being at a friend’s house with the conquerors expansion, it wasn’t long before I bought the conquerors expansion edition, oh soo many hours played back then.
From way back, first onimusha game I played was onimusha 3: demon siege, loved it so I wanted to play the other games in the series, 1 big issue, the 3rd game used analog sticks to move, the original 2 didn’t, and I could not get over that fact, onimusha dawn of dreams (the 4th game) was great… maybe because it was modern enough to use the analog sticks to move.
I got to act 10 kitava at over lvl 70 and realized I had cleared zones more than I meant to, but I also had an issue with a monitor cable giving out on me that caused my game to lock up and boot me to log in, I had just killed shav right before the depraved trinity fight, and so I had to go back through 2 zones to get there again… lots of xp, but very annoying.
As much as I love the game, and I will get into random hyper focus mode and will multiply the size of my factory by a large amount, the later tiers are much more accessible when playing with friends.
