Game Overview
Nioh 3 is an action RPG from Team NINJA and Koei Tecmo. This is the third installment in the Nioh series.
Check out the official game description below via Koei Tecmo.
Conquer the crucible, become shogun.
Overcome difficult challenges in an open field.
This game is set in an open field, in which players can freely explore, while enjoying the unique tension that accompanies all Nioh titles. Face formidable encounters with powerful yokai, explore villages where suspicious beings lurk, take on the daunting challenges of The Crucible, and enjoy the thrilling, hostile new environments as you fight to survive the cursed kingdom!
Two Styles: Samurai and Ninja
In Nioh 3, players can enjoy two different fighting styles: Samurai and Ninja.
Based on the tendencies of the enemies and stages, players can switch seamlessly between Samurai and Ninja techniques instantly at any time, or choose to fight using only one style continuously based on the challenge ahead. Feel free to play with the style you like best.
- Samurai Style – This style provides a gameplay experience similar to previous Nioh titles. New actions such as “Arts Proficiency”, which enhances the power of martial arts, and “Deflect”, which allows players to block enemy attacks at the last moment, have been added, helping create a series of intense and deadly face-to-face confrontations.
- Ninja Style – This style excels in quick movements like dodging and aerial actions, giving ninjas the advantage of being able to attack from outside of the enemy’s range by utilizing a variety of “Ninjutsu” techniques according to the situation on the battlefield. Players have the ability to use techniques like “Mist”, which leaves a clone after an attack, and “Evade”, which allows for narrowly avoiding enemy strikes. Both techniques help players outmaneuver foes while delivering devastating speed attacks from behind.
Online Multiplayer
Players will now be able to assist and seek help from other players through the “Summon Visitor” mode, or even explore the open field with others through the online multiplayer mode “Expeditions”, popular in the previous entries of the Nioh series.
This feature will come in handy to those who have reached a stalemate playing solo, or those who would like to overcome challenges together.
Thanks, Gematsu!
So…
Nioh 3 is now available for PS5 (US, Europe, Asia & Japan). Grab yours now!
Note: The availability of all items is subject to change without prior notice.
