Nioh is an upcoming historical fantasy action role-playing video game developed by Team Ninja and published by Koei Tecmo for the PlayStation 4. The game follows the story of a fictionalized William Adams, a blond-haired English samurai (Irish in the game) during the dawn of Edo period Japan in 1600.
Nioh's gameplay has been compared to that of the Souls series, primarily because of its semi-realistic, high-stakes swordplay where one can die very quickly if not careful. Combat takes place in real time and features various weapon types such as katana, spears, axes, bows and Tanegashima rifles. The player can switch between three main stances for any melee weapon: 'low' which is fast but weak and has an effective dodge ability; 'mid' which has the best blocking techniques but is neither fast nor specially powerful; and 'high' which causes the most damage with slower movements.
Attacking, dodging and blocking in Nioh cost 'Ki' (stamina). When the player runs out of Ki they are briefly incapacitated, leaving them open to enemy strikes. To mitigate the high stamina cost of various abilities, players can use the 'Ki Pulse' mechanic to regain spent stamina immediately after finishing a move. Ki Pulse is mapped to the same button as changing stance and weapon, allowing players to build larger and more complex combinations of strikes, dodges, stances and weapons while sustaining their Ki as long as possible. Players also earn 'skill points' for displaying proficiency with various tools and these can be used to purchase new moves for weapons, new ninjutsu techniques (ninja tools such as shuriken, bombs and caltrops) and new onmyou magic (passive buffs such as giving weapons elemental properties).
Notable for a console game, Nioh will allow players to select between a higher frame rate or higher display resolution, similar to options offered to players on a PC, whether they value a smoother gameplay experience or a more visually appealing one.
Nioh is not available for purchase... yet.
