Demo for PS4 Exclusive Nioh Available for a Limited Time

Demo for PS4 Exclusive Nioh Available for a Limited Time

What do you get when you combine the period combat expertise of Koei Tecmo, the pedigree of action game excellence carried by Team NINJA, and a dash of Dark Souls? Well, you get something like Nioh: a “dark, samurai action RPG.” This PS4 exclusive has been in development for quite some time, and has undergone some significant changes ever since Team NINJA was brought on board. The result is something that Koei Tecmo is proud of, and it’s sharing an Alpha Demo (now available) for players to try out for a limited time.

This demo features two stages for you to play through using three distinctly unique weapons. There’s a spear which you’ll wield in a more defensive style, attacking from a distance, a heavy axe which, while powerful, is much slower, and the ever-trusty katana for the balanced samurai. From what we hear this game is supposed to present quite a challenge, and if you complete a stage in the demo you’ll be rewarded with “The Mark of the Conqueror” DLC when Nioh launches. If you’ve been keeping an eye on this one then you’ll want to download the demo as soon as possible; it’ll disappear (like a ninja) from the PlayStation store on May 5.
