Universally known with generic term of yokai, since ancient times ghosts, monsters, weird creatures, and supernatural phenomena of all sorts – with different shapes and sizes – haunt the folklore and popular culture of Japan.

Well, the yokai that you’ll meet in Nioh are absolutely frightful! Set in 1600, during the Sengoku era – a blood-bathed period of great changes ended with the famous battle of Sekigahara which was the culmination of a long-standing power struggle between Tokugawa Ieyasu and Hashiba Hideyoshi, two of the most powerful generals of medieval Japan – you’ll play as William, a blonde-haired Irish samurai that soon after his disembarkation on the Japanese coast, he crossed his path with Tokugawa Ieyasu and his servant, the famous ninja Hattori Hanzo.

These formidable trio of heroes formed an alliance against both William’s enemies and the yokai infesting Japan led by Edward Kelly an English occultist and alchemist that used his dark powers to influence the events summoning a number of spirits at the behest of John Dee, the famous mathematician, astronomer, astrologer, occult philosopher and above all chief advisor to Queen Elizabeth I.

Facing armies of undead samurai warriors, and weird creatures from Japanese folklore such as Hinoenma, Jorōgumo, and a Yuki-onna, William must fight his way to bring the peace in the country helping Tokugawa Ieyasu to unify it. Mastering both martial arts skills and magic arts, you’ll begin a legendary journey throughout Japan with this great title that melts in a very cool way the gameplay mechanics of Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden. So, if you’re looking for a very hardcore challenge don’t look further, because playing it you’ll curse all those evil spirits you’ll encounter!

In addition, you’ll be happy to know that this version of Nioh will include ALL the DLC released so far, plus the exclusive Dharmachakra Kabuto, a magical helm that holds the power to eradicate evil thanks to the red-lacquered Buddhist crest, this powerful holy symbol represents the eight-fold path to nirvana.
