Nioh on PlayStation 4
Nioh launched in North America in February 2017, exclusively for the PlayStation 4. The game is set in a dark fantasy version of Japan’s Sengoku period, following the journey of an Irish sailor named William Adams. Players battle both human warriors and supernatural demons known as yokai.
The gameplay is known for its high level of difficulty, often drawing comparisons to FromSoftware’s Souls series. However, Nioh establishes its own identity with unique mechanics, including a stamina system based on Ki, distinct combat stances (high, mid, and low), and an extensive loot system similar to a dungeon-crawler. The game was praised for its deep and rewarding combat, intricate level design, and challenging boss encounters. The 33 percent discount brought the price down from its original retail cost two months after its release.
Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide
For players looking to master the game’s complex systems or uncover all its secrets, the Nioh Collector’s Edition Strategy Guide was also part of the sale. Published by Future Press, a company known for producing high-quality, comprehensive game guides, this edition was a premium hardcover book.
Such guides typically contain exhaustive walkthroughs for every mission, detailed maps highlighting item locations and shortcuts, and in-depth data on enemies, weapons, and armor sets. A key feature for a game like Nioh would be advanced combat strategies, including tactics for defeating every boss. The collector’s format usually includes high-quality paper and binding, making it a durable reference for dedicated players. The 28 percent discount made this premium guide more accessible for those wanting a physical companion to the game.
