Nioh

In Nioh, players traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Demons known as Yokai inhabit a number of dangerous locations and lie in wait in the shadows to ambush unsuspecting victims. Players also face other samurai in supernatural sword battles and multi-target engagements that test skill, patience and strategy. The game is set in the year 1600, during a fictionalized version of Japan's late Sengoku period. William is an Irish swordsman who travels to Japan in pursuit of an enemy. He crosses paths with the warlord Tokugawa Ieyasu and his ninja ally Hattori Hanzo, forming an alliance against both the yokai and the Western sorcerer Edward Kelley, whose dark alchemy is driving much of the conflict. As he is trained in the ways of the samurai, William is drawn into the wider struggle to unify Japan. Team NINJA developed the game, and it was released in 2017. It is a third-person role-playing and hack and slash game with single-player and co-op modes. Steam lists online co-op and PvP.
