Nobunaga’s campaign to unify Japan actually serves as the backdrop for the game’s story. This means you’ll not only hunt demons but also come face to face with many soldiers, samurai and warlords such as Toyotomi Hideyoshi, Maeda Toshiie and even a young Oda Nobunaga, one of the key characters in the first Nioh. The story serves mainly as a prequel to the first game and sees your character befriending a merchant looking for Amrita and a demon hunter against the backdrop of the turbulent Sengoku period in Japan. In Nioh 2 you play as Hide, a wandering half-yōkai known as a Shiftling. Embrace your inner demonĪnother big change in the sequel is that your character isn’t entirely human this time. And behold, when its sequel was announced one of the new features was that you could customize your character. But considering the story was somewhat based on the life of the English navigator William Adams and that it could be seen as an attempt to make the game more appealing to a Western audience, made it easier to ignore this criticism. One that also received some criticism for its white protagonist. Yet the game proved to be an addictive mix between the aforementioned game, the loot frenzy of Diablo and the furious combat of Ninja Gaiden.
