Nioh’s dark and dangerous world is not only inhabited by warriors who are out to kill you for meddling in the affairs of the crown, but there are a plethora of demons called Yokai who have absolutely no problem smashing your dick into dust just to remind you that you aren’t welcome.
Add in the stance dancing of High/Mid/Low/Sheathed attacking and you’ve got a system so complex yet inviting that you’ll want to keep playing just to see what kind of crazy shit you can pull off. On top of managing your Ki, there are skills that allow you to perform a perfect dodge which helps refresh a bit of lost stamina, or you can add a Ki blast at the end of your combo to hopefully purify a Yokai portal you’re standing on. Nioh’s brilliant resource management adds even more depth to the dodge-the-shit-out-of-things gameplay Souls fans are accustomed to. The stamina system in Nioh, called Ki, requires that you pay attention to not only how much Ki your abilities use, but that you also don’t stand in Yokai portals that drain your Ki. Combat is frantic, lightning fast, and requires a lot of strategies, instead of just hammering your way through with mindless button spam and overpowering your enemies with endless assaults. Speaking of the gameplay, Nioh is an absolutely incredible gaming experience. Nioh tells an interesting tale and characters are continually weaving in and out, but the gameplay is so damn good that you’ll be chomping at the bit to play more and you’ll probably skip the cutscenes just to get back into the action. I don’t need to tell you that William runs into familiar faces such as Hittori Hanzo, Tokugawa Ieyasu, and other legendary Japanese figures because these are characters that are staples of their other franchises. If you’re familiar with Dynasty Warriors, Samurai Warriors, and well, pretty much every game Tecmo/Koei makes, you’ll immediately recognize that Nioh is loosely based on a real historical story.
