Phantom Blade Zero hands-on compared with Onimusha: Way of the Sword: more weapons, denser story

After about 15 hours with Phantom Blade Zero, the author compares it with Capcom's Onimusha: Way of the Sword, finding the former rich in weapons with unique mechanics but harder to follow in its story threads and character relationships. He notes he is less than a third through the game and calls its boss fights a highlight, while level progression feels more linear than expected.
