Set in a war-torn Japan, "Nioh" is a dark, samurai-centric, action role-playing game developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo.
In it, players will follow the journey of a swordsman named William. He has at his disposal "background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade" that will help him survive the brutal conditions of what is now a demon-plagued land of the samurai.
The official description for "Nioh" continues:
Known as Yokai, these demons inhabit a number of dangerous locations and lie in wait in the shadows to ambush unsuspecting victims. Players will also face off with other samurai in supernatural sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai's skills, patience, and strategy.
"Nioh" features an online co-op system that allows players to team up with friends to beat the Yokai. It also implores gamers to perfect the Stance system to ensure advantage over the enemy and "truly master" the art of combat at play in the game.
