In Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blond-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and expert knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the land of the samurai.

Known as Yokai, these monsters inhabit a number of dangerous locations and lie in wait in the shadows to stalk unsuspecting victims.



Players will also face other samurai in supernatural sword fights and intense, multi-target engagements, offering a level of difficulty that will truly test the skills, patience and strategy of the most hardened samurai.

Pick up your sword and travel to Japan's Sengoku period – an era ravaged by warring states and dark and malevolent forces – and carve a violent path through the land.



Characteristics:

- Cross blades in brutal hand-to-hand combat, wielding swords, axes, spears and even war hammers against your enemies.

- Learn the flow of combat and move with precision. Unleash an amazing combination of attacks specific to an array of authentic samurai weapons, including guns, katanas and axes.

- Explore a fantastical and dark vision of 16th century Japan – fight alongside legendary heroes and against the terrifying villains of the Warring States period.

- Face brutal and grotesque enemies – do you have the courage to stand alone against skilled samurai, beasts and monsters known as Yokai?
