Since ancient times, a clandestine group has fought to keep the world safe from supernatural beings known as Oni. Calling themselves the Slayers, they have protected mankind from within the shadows of history for the past 1,000 years. However, a prolonged age of peace was suddenly ended by a mighty catastrophe. The land cracked, time was warped beyond all recognition, and the borders between the human world and the Otherworld, home of the Oni, became blurred. During this time, vast hordes of Oni made their way from the Otherworld to this world.

With much of the land under the control of the Oni, the Slayers gathered together the survivors in various villages across the land in order to make their stand. For seven days and seven nights, a short but violent conflict raged and after it was over, mankind was barely able to maintain a hold on their territory. This event later became known as the Awakening. Ever since the tragic events of that week, the Slayers have emerged from the shadows to become the protectors of humanity in the new age.

Eight years later, the never-ending battle against the Oni continues, and a new warrior is sent to the front lines. In order to protect the world of man from falling to certain destruction, the Slayers must go forth and eradicate the Oni menace!

● Slash, Thrust, and Crush! Powerful targeted destruction system actions Some Oni are massive creatures that can be several times the size of a human being. It takes more than just regular attacks to defeat these opponents, and Slayers need to slash, thrust or crush the body parts of the Oni in order to destroy them. Players can skillfully use weapons such as a sword or bow to work together with their allies and take down the Oni.

● Mitama - the Souls of Japanese Historical Heroes - Use the power of the Mitama to slay the powerful Oni! Mitama are the souls of fallen heroes that are released upon defeating an Oni, and players can use them to imbue their weapons with special abilities and attributes. Various effects can be obtained from these Mitama, and by upgrading their weapons, players can utilize multiple Mitama at the same time to choose the ones that best suit their playing style and strategy. Additionally, with more than 200 Mitama in total, each with their own artwork and in-game voices, there is plenty of incentive to try and collect them all.

● An Original World that Blends Historical Japan with Fantasy Elements! - A grand historical fantasy The story takes place in a world in which the power of the Oni has warped time and space. Within Utakata Village, on the front line in the war against the Oni, the player takes on the role of a new recruit of an organization known as the Slayers that serves to eradicate the Oni menace. The player must venture forth into a variety of battlefields, each of which is representative of a warped version of an era from Japanese history, from the early Asuka period to the closing days of the Tokugawa shogunate. This game focuses on Tecmo Koei's forte by mixing "Japanese" and "historical" elements to form a unique and vibrant world.

● An Eclectic Cast of Allies for the Main Character - Hunting action for up to 4 players! Joining the player is a group of veteran Slayers within Utakata Village that have fought against the Oni for some time. The stories of these Slayers, such as Ōka, who possesses unmatched fighting ability with a sword, will be told as they fight alongside the player.
