I have never played it back in the day so I have no nostalgia for this.
But damn this is good. It holds up really well and it gives the classic Capcom vibe like RE1 also does. 100% recommend

Steam Deck performance review of Onimusha.
This game is listed as 'unsupported' but here is my steam deck performance feedback after spending +19 hours and getting 100% of the achievements. If you want a full review of the game itself, there are plenty of reviews online for this +20 year old game.
Full disclosure: I played this game to death on the PS2 back in the day. I knew everything about the game inside and out so this was like a re-visit about 20 years later on a new platform.
Long story short: It runs but with one minor problem.
Problems I encountered with Onimusha:
1. The main issue has to do with the FMVs. The game would show a multi-coloured screen/coloured bars when some of the FMV played in place of the FMV. When an FMV did play, their would be audio glitches, static and it would be out of sync. Cut scenes were fine though.
2. Minor graphical glitches and texture clippings (but this was also present in the original game).
The analogue control setting was a major and welcomed change to the game and vastly improved how the game played when compared to the original 'tank' controls.
I encountered no gameplay or audio glitches (only in the FMVs). No forced restarts/resets. No frame rate drops. No crashes. No game breaking bugs.
Using the original LED steam deck with 50% brightness, I was getting about 3.5 hours of battery life in a single charge. You can technically play the game from start to finish on a single charge with juice to spare.
The game is fully playable on the steam deck but keep in mind the FMV issue.

Great game, LOL port.
Capcom should have just remastered the entire series in a collection similar to the classic Tomb Raider titles.

I love this game and I hope the whole series gets a remaster or at least an HD remaster like this game. A full remaster of graphics and everything would go hard.

An old school mix between Devil May Cry and Resident Evil, if Raccoon City was a castle in feudal Japan and the zombie outbreak was a demon invasion. A little bare bones, but it's not out of place for a year one PlayStation 2 game.

One of my favorite franchises ever. Game ran great and was just as enjoyable as when I was a kid. Pls remaster the other ones Capcom!
