Fun Fact: This game was announced before Dark souls and was always stuck in development hell.

[@Ptolemy336VV]

And I am the biggest lover of Dark Souls and have played everything, finished everything all the way up to new game plusses. And only now I started playing Nioh since a week. O my god. I love this game equally as much as Dark souls! Some aspects more, some aspects less. But it's so good. Im almost starting to believe that any kind of Dark souls like game with the same or higher quality and presentation, unrelated to whatever theme, that it's a game totally meant for me.

[@josephengel8263]

The high stance isn’t necessarily show for attacks. For the kurisigama (sickle/chain) the high stance is slow to block if you are already attacking, and rolling is slow but attacks are very fast

yes as long as you are undetected and locked on you can perform a backstab. unlike darksouls where you could land it at any point during combat. I believe this mechanic was only in the 3rd beta

the "Mimic" in Nioh is a Tanuki, a Racoondog Youkai, they like to trick people or play games with them, hence the "Simon Says" game it want to play with you, also if you blatantly disregard the Tanuki enough times and just fight it it will drop the Frustration Gesture, guess it is getting a little frustrated by you trying to kill it when it only want to play.

[@GUTZ420]

the lack of "the backstab" will make the fighting more "pacey and fluent", since no pause for long animation. *I like it*

[@UN4G1V3N-X]

Pro tip for NiOH: Some Yokai have weak points (Some the horns, eyes, etc...) hit the spot multiple times may destroy it and allow for additional damage boost, cause target to be stun for longer combo strings, or deplete their stamina which will give larger enemies hit-stun and knock back for a short time. This was apparent through Alpha, Beta, and Last Demo. So be mindful to assess your target to exploit any vulnerabilities.

[@Shineymcshine79]

Ooooh so that's how the chests work in Nioh. I opened the one in last chance demo and got my ass handed to me. I was wondering why he was bowing - screw the respect bro, let's throw hands.

[@swallowedinthesea11]

The loot drops are by the bundles. Something I love! BTW, the protagonist is based on a real historical figure, ship builder/navigator/astrologist William Adams. He, at age 36, became the first northern European to reach Japan in the 17th century and became one of the few elites to become a samurai who was a foreigner. He was very powerful becoming the shogun's, Tokugawa Ieyasu, personal favorite and held a very high position in the courts. leyasu loved Adams so much he prohibited him from returning to England to see his wife and two kids. Instead, Adams married a samurai's daughter and bore two kids, living in Japan until his death at the age of 55.

it is so bad when people who didn't play it say it is like dark souls, the game has different mechanics, can u kill people with bow and arrow in dark souls? do u have multiple stances? do u get ganged up upon in dark souls? the whole feel of the game is different, if u played ninja gaiden black then u will understand.

Ah, you forgot to mention the Revenant system in place in Nioh. If you die in your game, your spirit of your character stays in that area for other players around the world, in which they can fight you or you can their ghosts/spirits to obtain their armor/gear. Helps players get better gear from other players in a way.

[@KeeperOfEvil]

YourPalHDee Thats where you are wrong this is massivly more like onimusha than dark souls

[@YourPalHDee]

You can't just say that with absolutely no argument lol. Onimusha is a fixed perspective story game where you gather VERY specific weapons and level them up a very specific way. Nioh and Dark Souls use the same perspective, they have almost identical combat features in terms of the attack/dodge/defend tradeoff, Onimusha is similar to Resident Evil in it's pace, puzzle solving and perspective . In what way is it massively more like Onimusha other than the thematic similarities? Doesn't Nioh use like the exact same concepts. even down to the Bonfire thing?

[@KeeperOfEvil]

No

[@hristokuymdjiev4225]

There is no real NG+ but there is the twilight missions. Each missions has a harder mode , which unlocks after you beat it normally. Twilight missions have completely different enemies and different enemy placements and much better loot to make up for that. But keep in mind you can still summon people like in dark souls to help you if a boss or something is really hard. But for some side missions you can't summon. But you can summon for every main and twilight mission .

I had never heard of it prior to buying on the Wii U (thinking it's on a kid friendly console, how hard could it be). I recommend everyone to try it once, because it definitely increases your awareness in other games. After beat the first level I felt more accomplished than when I completed Street Fighter 2 Hyper Fighting in 7 star difficulty.

[@anogrotter1985]

Dark souls' difficulty doesn't feel cheap, unlike "very high" difficulties on most games, which is basically less health for you and more for the enemy or w/e. The game feels fair and when you die you know why and what you did wrong, which is important for a challenging and rewarding game like this.

[@360entertainment2]

Using the fast stance with the Kusarigama is one of the most oddly satisfying things you can do to a random, weak armored opponent. That chain and ball make extremely quick work of most opponents and even using the strong attacks most opponents go down so quickly!

Jordan Smith Both.

[@mathew633man]

[@JordanSmith-yi3ji]

***** Well Nacho above me did a far better job for the title than I would have, so Ill just describe the game. Nioh is a Japanese Action RPG that plays like the result of Dark Souls, Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden got together and had steamy hot sex together with Nioh being the result of their coupling. All three parents would look on their child with pride. As said in the video, the is hard as hell, with a deep combat system that rewards many different playstyles. The story is set in Japan around 1600 a few months before the battle of Sekigahara during the Japanese Civil War. You play as a Western Sailor who arrives in Japan after a shipwreck and through some events im not sure of, become a retainer to Tokugawa Ieyasu. You seem to act as his go to demon slayer considering what you do in the game.

there's a back stab in this game, but you have to unlock it as one of the move sets you can unlock in this game. what I don't like about it you have to unlock the same move set multiple times if you wanna use the same move in a different stance. speaking of stances, the high stance focuses on attack power and breaking but lacks defenses like blocking and dodging due to high ki cost. mid stance focus on blocking but you can't get behind enemies easily. low stance focus on dodging so you can fight group of enemies or you want to get behind enemies easily

The first picture/footage of William Adams for Nioh came at E3 2005. That's 2 years before Witcher 1 came out, and Geralt looked nothing like he does now in Witcher 3 then. He looked like a frog with a mane. Nioh's protagonist was already rocking the long white hair when he was introduced. And let's not cite source material, because the Witcher book series is modern; William Adams is a true historical figure lol, even if his hair isn't white.

Rioplats I don't believe any word u just typed bruh

[@cristianperalta]

In number 3 it is true that there are no backstabs in Nioh but there is something call "Fatal blow" I think that was the name. What you have to do is drop the enemy stamina to 0 and then they will get stunned if you lock the camera the circle will turn red in that moment press triangle and you will do a fatal blow.

What about how to level up your characters and weapons? Also, do weapons or armors scale in this game with character stats?

[@gerald3339]

ricecakejohnson Yes they do but better weapons have a bigger multiplier.

To the New Guy... good work man.

one thing i find intriguing about koei tecmo games is their ability to integrate concepts and mechanics from other developers into their own games yet still managing to keep it different from the original game it was based off of

[@shehzaanaabdulla3047]

I don't have a major love of the Dark Souls games. I think they are okay (having completed DS1 on PC twice). But I have a lot more love for character action games (including Ninja Gaiden) and this game looks like it blends Dark Souls and character action mentality. And that's something I'm interested in.

[@yausingchan]

The combat feels really good with responsive control and lot of skill moves unlock. I didn't like DS because the combat doesn't feel like the other action game. If you love action game you should buy this game.

[@Syncopation24]

There is a backstab, but you have to unlock it as a skill. You also showed a fight vs a secret wall during the mimic bit but failed to mention that if you match the emotion of the wall there is a similar effect to the mimic emotes.

[@jintei8524]

Actually you can backstab on stealth. If you deplete the enemy's ki bar, you can also do a grapple attack, which has the same concept of backstabbing after stunning on Bloodborne.

lovin the uploads bois

[@Hinaatje]

This really is a great vid u guys. I completed bloodborne a while ago and was up for a new challenge so i bought nioh. I really love the gameplay and similarities the game has with bloodborne and dark souls. Hope u guys keep up the good work.

[@SimonDimes]

how about including what date it comes out in the description

[@christopherparks4342]

I'm confused. You said high stance is your pick because you always go for faster weaker attacks over slower power attacks. So which is it?

[@francoisgodbout6835]

You do know the backstab was and unlockable skill in the demo with some samurai skill points right? So it has been removed from the game? ;)

[@Rogue20XX]

There IS a backstab in Nioh contrary to what this video says. It is a single point ability in the Ninjutsu tree and was present in at least the Final Chance Trial, for certain.

So, do you get to create your own character or do play as the white haired guy only?
