NiOh Video Game Series

In the series NiOh the action is observed from a third-person perspective (TPP). The pillar of the gameplay is to fight spectacular and at the same time challenging clashes with opponents, during which we use primarily white weapons. On our way, leading through various locations, we face both regular opponents and much more powerful bosses; among the adversaries we find not only yokai, but also hostile samurai. The key to success is, above all, careful observation of enemies' movements, using quick dodges and launching lightning-fast counterattacks, as well as making proper use of three fighting stances, namely high (in which we inflict high damage, although we have limited possibilities of blocking and performing dodges), medium (perfectly suited for blocking) and low (used primarily to dodge enemy blows). In addition, in the second part of the series we can temporarily increase our combat potential by transforming into a demon.

In the games of the series NiOh there is no lack of a character development system. As we progress, we gain experience points and advance to the next levels, unlocking new skills and developing the ones we already have. In addition, the protagonist's chances of victory are increased by the equipment acquired along the way. If, despite everything, we can't cope with a problem, nothing prevents us from calling on other players for help. In addition, at the place of death of a given participant of the game we can summon a character modeled on him, controlled by the artificial intelligence, with whom we can cooperate or.... challenge her to a duel.

Although the first NiOh debuted in 2017 (first on PlayStation 4 and nine months later on PC), we first heard about it thirteen years earlier, when it was being developed with the PlayStation 3 platform in mind. After its official announcement, hearing about it disappeared for many years, and it was only remembered during the 2015 Tokyo Game Show. NiOh 2 on the other hand, came to Sony's fourth desktop console three years after the original's release.
