10 minutes of Nioh demo gameplay

Ninja Gaiden developers show us their own take on Dark Souls.
Ricardo C. Esteves Editor-in-Chief Portugal 27 April 2016

Team Ninja, the studio that gave us Ninja Gaiden, is working on Nioh for a decade (well, perhaps not during all of that time), and the game has undergone many changes through its development cycles. Now, from what we saw in the recent past and the new playable demo, Nioh is game clearly inspired by From Software's Dark Souls, albeit with a Feudal Japan theme.

We captured the first 10 minutes of the demo to show you, been we should also remind you that the demo is available at no cost on the PS Store, until May 5, so try it out yourself if you enjoy the video below.

Editor-in-Chief Portugal Ricardo C. Esteves was editor-in-chief of Gamereactor Portugal, writing for the site from 2013. He covered video games across news, previews and reviews, and also wrote on film and television.
