About the Game

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.

Honestly Nioh2 was much better. The lack of stance split in Ninja/samurai absolutely kills most of the ninja weapons, it's a bogglingly terrible choice. Now suddenly I have the same number of skills to unlock on kusari

It fell short of expectations. There's barely anything surprising to be found, yet it's riddled with flaws. For instance, during the early game, weapon levels scale up way too fast. If you can't farm the specific weapon

If you love the Nioh games, this is a no brainer. If you haven't tried them yet, this isn't a bad place to start though its structure is WAY different. Turning Nioh into an open world game actually works really well

I'm kinda mixed on this. The Samurai/Ninja system feels out of place in this game and the Ninja portion especially feels like an afterthought with how few skills it gets in comparison to Samurai styles. Additionally,
