The spirit-caller Kappa, the shadowmancer Kagekemono, and Ryujin, King of the Dragons, joined by three others, have emerged from the Shadow Gate to threaten the land. These Oni, along with their Hordeling followers, are hellbent on terrorizing all in their path, and they will not be easily stopped. With these Oni components added to the game, you and your allies must work together like never before to stand a chance of defeating the Onimaru! Take the ultimate challenge against these Legendary Foes, or mix up others to create your own circle of Oni.
