''Onimusha: Dawn Of Dreams'', released in Japan as , is an action-adventure video game developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2. It is the sixth installment of Capcom's ''Onimusha'' overall series, while being the fourth game in the canonical main series. It was released in Japan in January 2006, followed by North American and European releases in March 2006. The plot is set in ancient Japan decades after the events of ''Onimusha 3: Demon Siege'' and focuses on Soki, a warrior who possesses Oni powers. Soki is on a quest to stop Hideyoshi Toyotomi, who has unified Japan in league with his demonic army of Genma, and he also joins forces with several allies who share the same goal. While game retains the action elements from previous ''Onimusha'', it offers a more varied amount of weapons as well as the option of going back to previous stage to unlock new content. The game also introduces a 3D camera as well as the ability to continuously fight alongside AI controlled characters who move depending on the player's orders. ''Dawn of Dreams'' was announced by Capcom due to high fan demand and several Capcom members realizing they could expand the action elements from ''Onimusha'' after working in ''Shadow of Rome''. The game was designed in order to appeal to skilled gamers rather than the general market which resulted in appealing designs rather than realistic. Following its release, ''Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams'' received good critical response. Writers praised the new action and exploration elements but also criticized some elements from its presentation including its dialogues and voice acting. However, the game generated poor sales. ''Dawn of Dreams'' also received a film adaptation and two manga spin-offs. ==Gameplay== ''Dawn of Dreams'' utilizes a complete 3D rendition of its environment rather than pre-rendered backdrops. In addition, the player is now able to control the camera for most of the game, as opposed to the static camera angles employed within its predecessors. The player primarily controls a swordsman named Soki who retains the abilities from previous ''Onimusha'' heroes such as magical skills and the ability to absorb the demons' souls upon defeating them. The demons' soul allow the player increase the power of his weapons and protection as well as restore the character's health and magic powers. Soki can also enter for a short time into the Oni mode which increases his powers.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams Walkthrough & Strategy Guide: Basics )〕 When obtaining enough experience, Soki levels up which gives the player the option of increasing any of Soki's skills and obtaining a new move as a result. Across his journey, Soki meets several allies who join him in combat. The player is responsible for handling their weaponry and level up. During gameplay, the second character that is not controlled by the player can be issued commands via the directional buttons. The player can also control the supporting character, allowing him to use the character's unique skills to perform an action Soki is unable to. For example, Jubei can take advantage of her low size to walk through weak floor while Tenkai can interact with spirits. There is also co-op mode that allows the second player to control another character.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams Walkthrough & Strategy Guide: Characters )〕 Upon finishing a stage, the player rests in an area where they get the chance of going to a previous stage with a determined partner and unlock new items. Soki's teammates are able to combine the items Soki obtained in order to create a medicine. Additionally, a shop system allows the player to purchase weapons that they can upgrade, along with valuable supplies such as medicine and accessories that convey a variety of benefits. There is a Dark Realm that the player can freely choose to enter after a certain point in the game. If the active character is wearing one of the secret ''Street Fighter II'' costumes in the Dark Realm, the associated character's theme will play from the Panasonic 3DO port of ''Super Street Fighter II Turbo''. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
