It’s basically a weapon with three modes that correspond to the three different combat stances. Let me explain how the switchglaive works. Sure, Nioh 2 has a great array of weapons to choose from for the discerning player, from twin wield blades or tonfa, to “sword on a pole” odachi, but why would you consider any of those when this is a game where the switchglaive exists. Now, I’m going to take a moment to stop here. In addition to the returning weapon types, for example, players can now expect to find the new additions of the dual hatchets and switchglaive in their weapon drops. Nioh 2 takes these changes and expands on them rather than completely reinventing them (looking at you, Dark Souls 2). This meant that you’d see a lot of similar drops but that each one would come with an attached rareness which offered it unique abilities – this katana may be a bit stronger, but THIS one has lifesteal capabilities – while this randomness maybe irked some players who were more used to other games more rigid item placement for planning builds, it meant that players were constantly able to redefine their strategy, and that it was easier to buy your way out of a rut by simply farming gear to sell for XP. On top of that, the concept of loot was reimagined with a more Diablo like twist, turning all enemies into loot pinatas, ready to be broke open to spill their tasty shinies for the player to snaffle up. Its additions to the genre gave it an energy that surpassed even the more aggressive gameplay of Bloodborne, injecting an almost Monster Hunter esque combo system into its crazy array of giant samurai and ninja weapons.

The original Nioh was arguably the first really successful attempt to ape FromSoftware’s Souls formula, coming a couple of years after Deck 13’s much maligned Lords of the Fallen and a couple of months before their much better received The Surge. The short answer is “a bit”, but it’s more complicated than that. Well, Team Ninja are back with Nioh 2- how does this prequel to the 9/10 rated original shake things up?

Back in 2017 we took a look at Nioh, then a PS4 exclusive (it’s since come to PC) from Team Ninja which took things further, breaking the game down into more discreet missions, adding in some mad weapons, magic, ninjitsu and an interesting stamina recovery system, and setting the whole thing in feudal Japan. Indie games such as Absolver and Ashen are also getting in on the fun, while sidescrollers Blasphemous and Salt & Sanctuary are bringing the mechanics to a very different setting.

Last year we saw two vastly different titles released in The Surge 2 and Code Vein that both did their own thing in their own way. Sure, Hidetaka Miyazaki’s seminal Action RPG broke the mould as to what players could expect from the genre, with its twisting architecture, steep difficulty curve, reliance on respawn points rather than autosaving and deep but esoteric lore, but there’s been so many different takes on the style since that the subgenre has taken on it’s own life. The further we get from 2011’s Dark Souls, the more egregious it gets to call anything that roughly fits into that mould a “Soulslike”.
