Common mistakes

Players confuse Steam's Sep 3 display with Capcom's 4 September date; they delete demo saves and lose charm eligibility; they buy Premium expecting gameplay chunks that are actually outfits; they ignore SSD requirements; they treat charm bonuses as sword-skin damage. Avoid those five.

Checklist before you play

  1. Confirm platform and edition on the storefront. 2) Note Early Adopter deadlines if you want those bonuses. 3) Install on SSD and run Capcom's benchmark on PC. 4) Keep demo save data. 5) Revisit this onimusha way of the sword steam note after patch day instead of trusting a frozen spoiler doc.
