Story-wise, your main character is part Yokai, and because of this, is able to transform into one of three classes of demon: Feral, Brute, or Phantom, with your guardian spirit dictating which type of Yokai you transform into. In Nioh 2, this system has been replaced with a feature called Yokai Shift. In Nioh, the guardian spirit you chose would give you access to a power-up that would enhance your weapon with certain effects. So where do the differences come in, then? First and foremost, is the Living Weapons replacement. ![]() You fight Yokai and humans alike, and you come across humans who also have a guardian spirit that you can acquire. You level up with Amrita (AKA Souls) earned from killing enemies and doing various tasks, and can spend gold at the forge to create new weapons or improve your old one via Soul Forging/tempering. For those already familiar with Nioh, this will all be quite familiar, as Nioh 2 takes the fluid combat mechanics from the first game and simply further refines it down in the sequel: you have your three combat stances (high, mid, and low), you have your health and Ki (AKA stamina) bars, you’ve got your Ki pulses to quickly regain Ki/purify Yokai zones, and you get mostly the same kind of skills plus some new ones to accompany the four new weapon types (switch glaives, fists, dual axes, and splitstaves). ![]() The first thing we’ll go over is the basic gameplay.
