Nioh Alpha Demo Coming in April
Apr. 7, 2016Nioh Alpha Demo Coming in April
After E3 last year we brought back somepreview footage and impressionsof a Samurai meets Dark Souls game calledNioh. Since then other comparisons have been tossed around, with names like Onimusha and Ninja Gaiden frequently popping up on comment threads. Developer Team Ninja has announced this week via thePlaystation Blogthat an Alpha Demo will be available to play later this month exclusively on PS4.
Set in a time of civil war in Japan, Nioh not only incorporates classic elements such as samurai and supernatural creatures from Japanese folklore, but also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team Ninja, the team that defined brutal action games.
The demo will be available to download and play from April 26th through May 5th. As a bonus for giving the demo a try, players who manage to clear a stage of the Alpha Demo will be able to download The Mark of the Conqueror DLC which will entitle them to some special DLC in the full game. The exact details of this future DLC were not revealed. There will be an online survey available during the demo period to collect player feedback.

Editor at Fextralife. I look for the substantial in gaming and I try to connect video games to the emotions and stories they elicit. I love all things culture and history and have an odd fondness for the planet Jupiter. I think my dogs are pretty awesome too.
are there any large swords? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
Played a bit of it today. It plays a lot like Samurai Bloodborne. The combat isn’t as tight as Dark Souls, but man there are some many similar concepts…it’s like Salt and Sanctuary all over again. You play for 30 minutes and you subconsciously already know how to play…

I’m currently downloading it, will try it as soon as that’s done.
Demo is out now. Has anyone tried it yet? I just started my double shift today, can’t wait to get home and try it.
EDIT: Not out yet for NA, my bad. Just read a tweet from KoeiTecmo America saying the demo will be available once the PS Stores update for NA.
I expect to be balls-deep in DS3 still at that point. Maybe I could take a break for a day to try it.
I’d lol at announcing DLC before announcing the release date of the game, but at least they’re giving it away for free.
