Nioh 2: The Complete Edition is a masocore action RPG developed by Koei Tecmo Games, released in 2021 for PlayStation 4 and PC. Set during Japan's turbulent Sengoku period, the game casts players as a custom-created protagonist fighting through diverse locations across the country against waves of yokai and other supernatural enemies. A central mechanic is the Yokai Shift ability, which allows the player character to channel yokai power to overcome particularly fierce opponents. The game also features Dark Realms — hazardous areas conjured by enemy forces that present elevated challenges. This Complete Edition bundles the base game with its additional content, offering an expanded version of the full experience. The combat system emphasizes precise timing and builds on the demanding difficulty that characterizes the series, rewarding mastery of its layered offensive and defensive mechanics.
Much like the previous title which garnered much praise from fans and critics alike, Nioh 2 contains an original profound story surrounding military commanders from the Sengoku period. However, Nioh 2 goes above and beyond its predecessor by including the new Yokai Shift ability which allows the protagonist to utilize new powerful forms to defeat even the most formidable yokai in battle. New to Nioh 2, your enemies can now create a Dark Realm which raises the stakes of battle and creates new challenges for your protagonist to overcome. We hope you enjoy conquering fearsome monsters as you unleash your darkness in the world of Nioh 2.
