## Key points

- Capcom says player data supports its chosen difficulty.
- The game aims to challenge players without blocking story progress.
- Carnage difficulty unlocks after completing the game once.

## Summary

Capcom director Satoru Nihei says player data suggests *Onimusha: Way of the Sword* has the level of difficulty the team intended. Players sometimes die or struggle, he says, but are generally able to overcome challenges and continue the story, which Capcom wanted to make satisfying without making the game especially difficult.

Before release, some players felt the demo was too easy, while others criticised the decision to lock the hardest setting, Carnage, until after a first playthrough. The game has three difficulty settings and an accessibility option that simplifies combat prompts. Capcom has not announced post-release updates, though the article notes the game has been a critical and commercial hit.
