The only thing more satisfying than pulling off an Issen counterattack in Onimusha: Way of the Sword is nailing a Chain Issen. Not that either move is easy. Issens, which have long been a feature of the Onimusha franchise, demand the precision of a parry or deflect, without any of the defensive protection that either of those skills offers.
Nevertheless, when you do get the hang of Issen, it’s absolutely worth the hassle. Issen instantly kills most enemies and takes a big chunk out of those that can withstand it. It’s your ticket to quick victories, and it looks pretty cool, too. Unfortunately, you won’t have access to the standard Issen moves for a few hours, as they’re locked behind a skill tree. There’s also a third kind of Issen, though it’s a move you can only use when enemies are exhausted.
In this guide, we’ll explain how to Issen and Chain Issen in Onimusha: Way of the Sword, and we’ll also offer up a quick explainer of all of the different Issen types.
