In the third game in the dark samurai action RPG series Nioh, you will need to use both Samurai and Ninja combat styles in your battles against formidable yokai as you explore a thrilling open field.
Tested the Nioh 3 demo and as with the previous games, I wish it was better. I might suffer from fatigue of Asian games and lore. Played a lot of them recently and Koei Tecmo are pumping out a lot of games with the same style, Wo Long, Rise of the Ronin, Ninja Guiden 4 and so on.
But based on the demo Nioh3 is a step in the right direction. The price they’re asking for the standard version are way to high in my opinion. You can get Khazan and Wuchang for way less and they are both better games. So I’ll wait for a sale personally. But if you think the price is right and you love Nioh games, step right in. This is the best of the 3.
Conquer the Crucible, Become Shogun
Nioh 3 is the eagerly anticipated continuation of the dark samurai action RPG series Nioh. A deadly struggle unfolds amidst the devastation of an alternate Warring States period where bandits run rampant and yokai skulk about.
Key Elements of the Game:
- An open field that challenges you to the fullest
This game features an open field filled with the sense of tension characteristic of the “Nioh” series while also allowing you to explore to your heart’s content. In this dark samurai world, you will encounter formidable yokai, explore menacing villages where darkness lurks, and struggle against the ominous presence of “the Crucible.” - Samurai and Ninja combat styles
You can enjoy an instantaneous and seamless switch between two combat styles during battle, facing your enemies head-on with Samurai Style and using quick movements and special techniques with Ninja Style.
