description

Those who remember the 2005 Electronic Entertainment Expo will recall the hype behind this historical action adventure; in preparation for it's canceled PS3 2006 release, a pre-rendered CG trailer showed Ni-Oh as a game about a blond-haired samurai - the offspring of a Western Woman and Japanese Lord set during the Warring States Era of Japan - and was based on an unfinished script of renowned Japanese film auteur, Akira Kurosawa.

Over a decade later, the finalized form of Nioh is now a difficult and dark samurai action game inspired by the original with supernatural elements designed specifically to incite trial and error; based on the reveal trailer and this description, one can almost say this is Samurai Dark Souls, Akira Kurosawa style!

Of course, with the history of Team Ninja's contemporary approach onNinja Gaiden, it would be safe to expect an exquisite combat mechanic. Details revealed so far explain a 3-stance attack system - low, neutral, and high; a high stance reserved for power attacks and low stance for defense. As well, weapons will have their own traits and can be switched in real-time and actions will be limited to a stamina meter lending to careful tactics in battle.

Similar to Souls, like bonfires, Shrines will be placed along the journey, where 2 activities take place, the first being a level-up point, and the second is the replenishment of "guardian spirits." Guardian spirits are a resource that drop from fallen foes, and is directly related to the means to cast and perform various special attacks - using these techniques will be at a cost of these spirits, so another element of strategy comes into play.

There is also an asynchronous online component where sword markers of fallen players serve to warn other players of high difficulty areas, and insofar, Nioh will be apparently littered with these sword markers, as is the intention of Team Ninja.

If anything, knowing that all the elements are finally coming together is a welcomed addition to the gaming universe; although there is only a 2016 tba. release date, based on what's been shown so far, Nioh is a "new" IP that gamers might have forgot about, but will definitely remember as it nears release!

Muy contento con la compra
Llego muy bien y siempre recomendare comprar en Playasia, soy cliente desde hace muchos años, a pesar que soy de Arequipa-Peru llega sin problemas los juegos y este no es la excepcion, para aquellos que deseen comprarlo si vale la pena y bueno el genero del juego es uno de mis gustos. Aparte que se japones no hay problema, aunque a veces algunos juegos tienen español.

The Best Version on PS4
You get everything on the disc with no updates needed. The game is gorgeous as well, I do not know if it is easier than the US edition as I have only played this version. If you want to get Nioh 2 this is the version you want to get.

Awesome Version
This the best, I recommend you guys to get the physical copy, with all the dlc included. This is better than nioh 2 U.S version. I noticed that this japanese version less difficult than the U.S whereas you can enjoy the game. Sometimes if the games are too challenging its not enjoyable to play. This one is on the average. Don’t know why there are differences in version. And what I like most the Demon horde weapons and armor. Well of course in U.S version there is the first samurai armor.

Best physiscal version of the game.
All content comes on disc. base game, 2 expansions and latest patch are already on disc. the tradeoff is that since this is a japanese version, there is a bit of censorship. For human enemies, there are no decapitations nor dismemberments. In my opinion it is not a big deal, and the convenience of having a complete version of the game on disc far outweights the cons.

Also the game has English subtitles, so import at your leisure.

I like it
I like the first Nioh Complete Edition and also had to buy this one. I really enjoy it even if it is difficult but I like challenging games like this. If you like fast paced battles this one is for you.
