There are so many mods at the global launch of Onimusha: Way of the Sword that it could be really hard to choose which ones to install. This guide will provide you with a list of the 10 best Nexus mods in the game, including quick links for your convenience. Here they are:
- Easier Issen Mod
- REFramework Cheat Menu
- Aggressive AI Mod
- Graphics Enhancement Mod
- Difficulty Fix Mod
- Onimusha FOV Mod
- Map Chest & Hidden Box Icons
- Soul Multiplier Mod
- Realistic Reshade Mod
- Enhanced Oni Vision
Easier Issen Mod
This REFramework Lua mod allows you to multiply timing windows for Issen, Parry, Deflect, Reflex Dodge, Counter Grab, and Chain Issen from 0.25x to 1000x. It also includes Persistent Issen, which keeps an attack input valid longer, and Perfect Guard while holding Guard.
REFramework Cheat Menu
Here’s a comprehensive REFramework cheat menu that offers not only auto soul absorption, infinite health, stamina and Oni power, but also no item consumption, perfect blocks, the ability to change outfits anywhere without unlocking them, and so much more. If you’re looking for a relaxed playthrough or just testing, then check this mod out.
Aggressive AI Mod
This simple Aggressive AI mod makes enemies far more aggressive and unpredictable. Note that attack delays and the number of simultaneous attackers are randomized every second, leading to more frequent assaults and group pressure. Although you can’t really modify anything, it’s still a lot of fun.
Graphics Enhancement Mod
The Graphics Enhancement mod unlocks advanced graphics options beyond the vanilla menu, adding full RTGI and RTAO, full-resolution SSR/SSAO, expanded shadow presets, denoiser controls, reflection tuning, LOD disable, volumetric fog tweaks, and more.
Difficulty Fix Mod
Here’s an experimental difficulty script focused on the number of simultaneous attackers, which bypasses the game’s single-attacker system so multiple melee enemies can attack together. Additional settings allow you to adjust attack intervals, enemy aggression, speed, pressure, defensive timing windows, as well as health and stamina damage multipliers.
Onimusha FOV Mod
If you want full control over exploration and combat FOV with separate sliders, plus third-person camera offsets on X, Y, and Z axes, then go ahead and install this mod. Note that all interaction prompts, item highlights, and markers remain properly anchored during any camera changes. Also, all adjustments apply live, work during movement camera events, and save automatically.
Map Chest & Hidden Box Icons
Map Chest & Hidden Box Icons add map markers for treasure chests and hidden puzzle boxes directly onto the in-game map. This will make full completion and exploration much easier for you. In this way, you’ll never miss any upgrades or valuable loot.
Soul Multiplier Mod
The Soul Multiplier mod multiplies soul gain via sliders in the generated UI tab, which is perfect for faster progression without altering other gameplay systems. This mod is lightweight and straightforward, where you can adjust the multipliers as desired.
Realistic Reshade Mod
Here’s a custom ReShade preset that enhances the game’s visuals with improved lighting, sharper textures, richer color tones, and greater cinematic depth and atmosphere. This mod was designed to create a more immersive and visually striking experience of feudal Japan.
Enhanced Oni Vision
Enhanced Oni Vision extends the range of Oni Vision and increases highlight duration, making nearby objects, items, and points of interest significantly easier to spot. It does require REFramework in the game directory, then access settings via the Insert key menu.
