Onimusha on Steam Deck is the definition of 'playable': Surprisingly pleasant, so long as 30 fps isn't a dealbreaker
We're long past the days of assuming the Steam Deck can comfortably handle the new big-budget action game of the moment, but here's a nice surprise: Valve's handheld is not a bad way to play Onimusha: Way of the Sword.
AI Summary
Onimusha: Way of the Sword runs well on the Steam Deck, offering a playable experience that surprised reviewers. The handheld handles the game’s demanding Kyoto hub area without major issues, though it does not reach the optimization level of Resident Evil Requiem. Compared to other recent Capcom titles such as Monster Hunter Wilds and Dragon’s Dogma 2, Onimusha performs noticeably better on the device. The review highlights the game’s use of Capcom’s proprietary engine as a key factor in its relative smoothness on the handheld.
