How to play Onimusha Essentials on Mac
Game summary
This collection of Onimusha games includes the first three action-packed Capcom classics of the series.
ONIMUSHA: WARLORDS -- An epic saga of 16th century Japan, Onimusha takes place in a world of darkness and magic when power hungry warlords battle for control of Feudal Japan. One brave Samurai, Samanosuke Akechi, boldly volunteers to rescue the kidnapped princess Yuki, but does not fully realize the desperation of this mission.
ONIMUSHA 2: SAMURAI DESTINY -- Set 13 years after the original game, Onimusha 2 features a new cast of characters. Yagyuu Juyuubei, a traveling swordsman, has returned to his hometown only to find it under siege. The aggressor is none other than Nobunaga Oda, the same undead warlord who plagued the first game's hero.
ONIMUSHA 3: DEMON SIEGE -- This third entry in the franchise breaks free from the pre-rendered camera system of the predecessor to serve up a much faster and action-focused game experience and features a second playable character, Jaques.

Play Onimusha Essentials on Mac with Parallels (virtualized)
The easiest way to play Onimusha Essentials on a Mac is through Parallels, which allows you to virtualize a Windows machine on Macs. The setup is very easy and it works for Apple Silicon Macs as well as for older Intel-based Macs.
Parallels supports the latest version of DirectX and OpenGL, allowing you to play the latest PC games on any Mac. The latest version of DirectX is up to 20% faster.
Our favorite feature of Parallels Desktop is that when you turn off your virtual machine, all the unused disk space gets returned to your main OS, thus minimizing resource waste (which used to be a problem with virtualization).
