Nioh 2 | 【仁王 2】| 第十一话 | 贪婪猎人及妖人的桶狭间

Nioh 2 is an action role-playing game developed by Team Ninja. It was published by Koei Tecmo in Japan and Sony Interactive Entertainment worldwide in year 2020. It is both a prequel and sequel to Nioh (2017).

The game sets in Japan during the late 1500s which most of Nioh 2 storyline chapters are a prequel to Nioh, while the end chapters of the story take place after the first game's last storyline following the Siege of Osaka. We as the player takes the role of a character nicknamed Hide, a half-yōkai which is referred to as a "Shiftling" whose appearance and gender is decided by us. Our journey through the Sengoku Era begins when we befriend Tōkichirō, an ambitious merchant seeking out Amrita, and Mumyo, a demon hunter of the Sohaya group, eventually playing a critical role in the rise and fall of the warlord Toyotomi Hideyoshi.

Kashin Koji serves as the main antagonist, a mysterious entity linked to a powerful yōkai known as Otakemaru, who obstructs our progress at every turn and is responsible for manipulating many of the events that take place through the game.

One key item featured in the game is the Seven-Branched Sword, here known as the Sohayamaru which was used to slay Otakemaru in the past and the namesake of the Sohaya.

During our journey, we encounter and serve with several historical characters like Saitō Dōsan, Takenaka Hanbei, Hachisuka Koroku, Oda Nobunaga and his wife Nōhime, Oda's sister Oichi, Akechi Mitsuhide, Shibata Katsuie, Saitō Toshimitsu (father of Fuku from the first game), Maeda Toshiie and his nephew Keiji.

We also encountered and fighted against Imagawa Yoshimoto, Saitō Yoshitatsu, Magara Naotaka and Nagamasa Azai. Returning historical characters from the first game includes Tokugawa Ieyasu, Tadakatsu Honda, Saika Magoichi and Oda's African retainer Yasuke.

Other historical figures such as the Heian period onmyōji Abe no Seimei, tea master Sen no Rikyū, Katō Danzō and Okuni also appear to aid us in our adventures. Nioh's protagonist William also returned near the end portion of the game which takes place after the events of the first, still in pursuit of Maria, with Hattori Hanzō making a cameo appearance. The Hanzō encountered by us here is his father Masanari.

Similar to its predecessor, we are equipped with a variety of weapons such as odachi and kusarigama, and earn new skills and special abilities as they progress in the game. When we defeat a hostile yōkai, some of them may drop a "Soul Core". Soul Cores allow players to use yōkai abilities once the cores are purified by visiting a shrine.

At locations named "Benevolent Graves", we can summon other players, controlled by AI, to assist us in combat. The game also features a three-player cooperative multiplayer mode.
