Onimusha 3: Demon Siege

French actor Jean Reno portrays Jacques Blanc, providing both his likeness and voice performance for the character. This was a notable instance of a major European film star taking on a leading role in a video game, lending the production significant cinematic credibility.

The game's plot involves a temporal rift that sends the feudal samurai Samanosuke Akechi to modern-day Paris while transporting French police officer Jacques Blanc back to feudal Japan. Players alternate between controlling both characters in their respective time periods, each with different weapons and abilities.

Onimusha 3: Demon Siege was originally developed and published by Capcom for the PlayStation 2 in 2004. A Windows PC port was subsequently released, though the game has not received a modern high-definition remaster or re-release on current-generation consoles.

Onimusha 3 moves away from the pre-rendered backgrounds and fixed camera angles of the first game, incorporating fully 3D environments with more dynamic camera work. This shift allows for more fluid movement during combat and exploration, though some puzzle sections still use dramatic fixed angles for cinematic effect.
