Video: Digital Foundry Delivers Its Tech Review For Onimusha: Way Of The Sword
Digital Foundry has delivered a technical review of Capcom’s Onimusha: Way of the Sword, highlighting strong performance across multiple platforms. On Nintendo Switch 2, the game reportedly represents one of Capcom’s best technical achievements to date, thanks largely to an optional 30fps mode that prioritizes stability. The review suggests the title “holds up pretty darn well” on the hybrid console.
The game has also proven surprisingly playable on Valve’s Steam Deck handheld. While not reaching the optimization heights of earlier Capcom titles like Resident Evil Requiem, Onimusha substantially outperforms other recent demanding releases such as Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2. On Steam Deck, the game typically runs between 30-40fps, with potential to reach the 50s and 60s in less demanding areas, making it a competent handheld experience provided players accept the 30fps baseline.
Both reviews underscore Capcom’s continued success with its proprietary RE Engine, which has demonstrated flexibility across diverse platforms ranging from cutting-edge consoles to more modest hardware. The positive reception suggests Onimusha: Way of the Sword is finding solid technical footing across its multi-platform release, making it an accessible option for players on Switch 2 and Steam Deck despite the 30fps performance ceiling.
