Team Ninja once again delivers a stellar action game. Redeeming themselves from the disaster of Metroid Origins, Nioh: Complete Edition takes you through a savage and wartorn ravaged Japan! Rebellious ninjas and samurai's competing to take control of the land. This game honors Japanese folklore at its finest, the story is complicated, nuanced, brooding, and filled with darkness and systematic betrayal. But Nioh's true breakout feature is its industry-leading combat system!

Every motion feels fluid and progressive in Nioh.  You have an endless arsenal of weapons at your disposal from katanas to crossbows to swords to ninjas stars it's all here! Even better, you can switch between weapons in the heat of combat on the fly, with a simple control scheme containing endless ingenuity. The difficulty is absolutely brutal and unforgiving of newcomers, this is a game from seasoned hardcore gamers ONLY! The boss battles are breathtaking, with armies of demon souls surrounding you as you slice and dice your way through nearly impossible odds. Its the video game equivalent of Chuck Norris and Bruce Lee dumped into hell itself for hours, and the fun is nonstop!

The graphics are classic Japanese folklore rendered with Pixar quality graphics. The soundtrack is an absolute delight, and the voice-acting is top notch! This game takes everything great about Dark Souls and injects it full of steroids, the combat is constant, and enemy variety is the best in the industry! Every combat encounter will make your hairs stand on end. Enemies use cover and will flank you ruthlessly, with pixel-perfect intelligence, your every move tracked. There is not one second of downtime as Nioh refuses to ever let up on the pressure until you crack, but every second is an absolute joy to experience! Nioh never holds your hand, it separates the pros from the casuals with no mercy!
