About Nioh

Nioh is an action role-playing game from Team NINJA, published by Sony Interactive Entertainment and Koei Tecmo Games. It released on February 7, 2017, for PlayStation 3, PS4, and PC. The game is played from a third-person view and blends hack and slash combat with RPG and adventure elements. Its setting is a fantasy version of Japan during the Warring States era, with historical and supernatural themes.

You control William, a swordsman who fights through the land against yokai, the demonic creatures that hide in dangerous places and attack without warning. Combat focuses on sword fighting, including battles against other samurai and encounters with groups of enemies at once. The game supports single player, multiplayer, and co-operative play.

Nioh is part of a series of the same name and carries mature ratings from both the ESRB (M) and PEGI (18). Players who enjoy demanding combat and character progression will find its structure familiar to the genre, though the difficulty is considerable.
