Nioh is a video game set in the Sengoku period of Japan, an era characterized by warring states and dark forces. Players take control of William, a masterless samurai on a quest for redemption. He must battle his way through hordes of enemies both human and demon to achieve his goal, using an arsenal of swords, axes, spears and war hammers to fight in brutal hand-to-hand combat. Death will not be the end though as each death brings resurrection with it as well as greater resolve to defeat your foes.
