Getting Started
First steps, demo coverage, difficulty and expected playtime.
Getting Started covers what you need before the first sword swing: how to approach the playable demo, how long the demo actually takes, whether the demo hides a secret boss, and how long the full game is expected to run.
These pages are written for players who have never touched an Onimusha game. Every mechanical claim carries a source label so you can tell official statements apart from hands-on impressions.

What players mean by the demo's secret boss, what has actually been verified, and what remains a rumour.

The reported ~20-hour main-story figure, how it compares to Onimusha: Dawn of Dreams, and why estimates still move.
