The real thrill of Nioh 2 is the tense battle with powerful enemies. A single shot of an enemy's attack can reduce your physical strength to less than half at once, so the tension that makes your skin tingle dominates the player. Even so, you have to evade the enemy's attack that makes full use of huge prey, sneak into your pocket and attack, so you need to repeat the deaths over and over again, keep in mind the enemy's behavior pattern, and proceed with the capture.

The stage of the first work in the series, 'Nioh,' is the world after the ' Honnoji Incident ,' in which Oda Nobunaga was forced into self-harm by Akechi Mitsuhide at the timing when the world was about to be unified. Set in the Azuchi-Momoyama era, the main character is William, a pirate who came from a foreign country, and while being involved in the battle between Ieyasu Tokugawa and Mitsunari Ishida, he challenged the battle for the establishment of the Edo Shogunate through the 'Battle of Sekigahara '. Will go.
On the other hand, the stage of 'Nioh 2' is in the middle of the Warring States period of 1555. The main characters are Hanyo, who was born between a person and a youkai, and Fujiyoshiro, a spirit stone merchant who plays Naoto Takenaka , an actor. Fujiyoshiro is the renamed name of Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and since the main character also calls himself 'Hideyoshi', on the official website, 'Two people run up like' Nioh 'in the Warring States period,' Hideyoshi '. It was the beginning of the story. '
When you start the game, first set the appearance of the main character, 'Hideji'. There are items such as base, face, hair, beard, makeup, body, voice, youkai, and random settings, and you can freely choose your gender.
For example, if you select the setting item 'Face', there are items such as contour, astringency, eyebrows, eyes, eyes, nose, mouth, ears, face decoration 1, and face decoration 2.
If you select 'Outline', you can set the appearance of the character in considerable detail, such as presets, forehead front-back position, cheekbone up-down position, cheekbone left-right position, and so on.
The muscle mass and the position of the bones can be set quite finely, and there are also kumadori and other illusion decorations, so you can create your own excellent character. Nioh 2 also includes online elements, and it is possible to challenge missions with other players, so it seems good to make your own excellent character firmly.
After completing the character creation, you will select the weapons and guardian spirits to use in the tutorial and the game. Various weapons can be used in Nioh 2, and new weapons such as 'Naginata Kama' and 'Hatchet' that did not exist in the previous work have also been added. The way to swing the status changes depending on the selected weapon, but the status itself can be reassigned at any time with the item 'Rokudo Rinkai no Sho' that can be obtained in the game, so it is said that the route will be changed to another weapon later. It is also possible.
In Nioh 2, not only are there various weapons, but there are also three stances: upper, middle, and lower. To briefly explain, the 'upper' is excellent in attack, and although it can perform powerful techniques, it consumes a lot of energy (gauge consumed during attacks such as attack and avoidance). The 'middle stage' has excellent defense, and has a wide range of attacks and is easy to handle. The 'lower' is excellent in avoidance, consumes less energy, and has a small chance of movement. Depending on the situation, you can aim for a high-powered attack on the upper stage against a large youkai that has a lot of chances but has no bottom, and make full use of an attack with a small gap on the lower stage against a two-sword style samurai with a lot of trouble. Changing your stance and fighting is the key to capturing Nioh 2.
Also, in Nioh 2, you can use 'fast attack' (□ button) and 'strong attack' (△ button) properly for each stance, and there are also skills (special attacks) unique to each weapon. It is possible to launch a wide variety of attacks with just one weapon. In the following movie, fast attacks and strong attacks in the upper, middle, and lower tiers, and some skills of the sword are delivered.
In addition, select one of the three 'guardian spirits' that also existed in the previous work. In the previous work, I was able to accumulate gauges and activate the special move role 'Ninety-nine Weapons'. However, in this work, 'Yokai' will be activated instead of 'Ninety-nine Weapons', and the player's appearance will be completely monster, and you will be able to launch powerful attacks. You can see how it actually turns into a youkai and fights in the following movie.

In addition, in Nioh 2, three new types of guardian spirits, 'Takeshi', 'Jin', and 'Phantom', have been assigned, and each type has a counter-like appearance when it becomes a youkai and the powerful attacks that the youkai unleash. By activating it, the 'special skill' that can aim for large damage will change. 'Takeshi' is easy to apply this feat, so it feels like a guardian spirit type for beginners. As for 'Jin' and 'Phantom', the timing when the counter is decided by activating the feat becomes quite severe, so it seems that it will take some time to get used to it.
In addition, you can select weapons and guardian spirits while actually operating them, and you can also do basic operations and ghosting operation tutorials, so before choosing weapons and guardian spirits, carefully check the differences for each weapon and guardian spirit type. It is possible to experience it.
The base of the action of Nioh 2 is the same as the previous work, but the action of the enemy is richer than the previous work, so even those who played the previous work should be confused as 'Are ?! The movement is different!'.
In addition, if the enemy wears something like a red aura as shown below, it will launch a powerful attack that will kill you with a single blow if you eat it. It is necessary to avoid this attack or to take out the feat (R2 + 〇 button) to take the counter, but depending on the type of guardian spirit, the activation timing may be severe. Also, there are multiple types of powerful enemy attacks, so even though I aimed at the counter, the timing was missed ...
It is not uncommon for people to lose their lives. However, Nioh 2 is just a 'Sengoku dying game', and since it is a game where you learn the behavior patterns of the enemy while dying many times and capture the stage, you do not have to be dented by one or two deaths. On the contrary, if you make a slight mistake in guarding or avoiding, even a small fish enemy can easily kill you, so you need an indomitable heart that will not give up no matter how many times you lose your life.
In addition, once you lose your life, you will drop the Amrita (item necessary for leveling up) and the guardian spirit that you have collected so far to the place where you lost your life. This is the guardian spirit that you dropped, and you can collect it when you return to the place where you lost your life, but if you lose your life again before collecting it, the guardian spirit will return but Amrita will be lost forever, so you will not lose your life continuously You need to be very careful.
In the Nioh series, a red sword called 'Blood Sword Mound' is stuck in the ground at the place where another player died. When approaching this, the cause of death can be confirmed, so it is possible to know what kind of danger is lurking nearby. Not only that, it is also possible to make another player who has died from the blood sword mound appear as a youkai, and this corpse is controlled by AI that reflects the player's play style. If you defeat this, you will be able to obtain some of the equipment of other players, so it is one of the real pleasures of the Nioh series to challenge the battle against the corpse in order to obtain the equipment of high-level players.
The types of equipment are as follows. You can equip two weapons at the same time, and you can also equip two ranged weapons such as bows, guns, and large cylinders. There are five types of armor: helmet, torso, gauntlet, knee instep, and suneate, and the weight is set, so depending on the equipment, movement may slow down or energy consumption when avoiding may increase. Depending on the equipment, you can get special effects by arranging the same type of equipment, so if the enemy is too strong to defeat, it is one way to prepare the equipment.
As you can see from the abundance of equipment and special effects, Nioh 2 has a wide variety of elements other than the action part, and it is a difficult task to remember and use them well. .. However, in the end, enjoying 'battle with strong enemies' is the essence of this game, and the other elements are only secondary things that lead to the advancement of the battle, so do not touch it at all. There are many cases where you can do it, so it is good to keep a proper sense of distance and proceed with the game without stress.
In addition, there is a case where a new blue sword called 'Yoshitozuka' exists on the stage in Nioh 2. If you use this, you can call the AI of other players as a helper, so it is also an ant to use this for enemies that can not be defeated by all means.
Among them is the Yoshitozuka of '
In addition, Nioh 2 also has a mode called 'Eternal Accompaniment' that aims to clear missions with up to 3 players online. Even if one player loses his life, other players can rescue and revive it, but the number of times it can be rescued is limited, and the enemy is stronger than when playing alone. , The number is increasing, so the impression that the difficulty does not change much.
In Nioh 2, the types of weapons, special skills, and youkai skills have increased compared to the previous work, but the base of action elements has not changed. There are various additional elements in the game, but it is clear that it is a 'game that enjoys action', and elements other than action, including the story, can be said to be a bonus for the game to proceed smoothly and for the player to enjoy. The unreasonable difficulty of dying in an instant with just a little chance is still unreasonable, and the feeling of 'I'm playing an action game!' Is irresistible.
Also, from this time on, if your physical strength decreases or if multiple enemies attack at the same time, the BGM that seems to flow in a pinch will sound. This is in line with the player's feelings, and it is good that it fuels the tension in a good condition. Even in the following movie, you can see that BGM suddenly starts to flow from the place surrounded by three enemies.

And, after all, even if you raise the level of the character or update the equipment, if the player can not operate the character correctly, the point is that it can be easily killed by the enemy. In other words, the player needs to improve his own 'skill to operate the game controller' while dying many times, and the biggest attraction is that he must grow along with the character of Hide. No, that's right.
In addition, Nioh 2 is sold for 8580 yen including tax for the Amazon.co.jp limited edition and 7018 yen including tax for the regular version.
