Nioh

is a 2017 action role-playing game developed by Team Ninja and Kou Shibusawa and published by Koei Tecmo for the PlayStation 4. Sony Interactive Entertainment published the game outside Japan on PlayStation consoles. Nioh 2, a prequel to Nioh was released on PlayStation 4 in March 12, 2020. A port to Windows including all downloadable content was released the same year while a remastered version was released for PlayStation 5 on 5 February 2021.

Based on a fictionalized history of Japan and featuring both real-life albeit heavily-altered historical figures, and supernatural elements, the game takes during the year 1600 and follows William Adams, a rare samurai foreigner who pursues the sorcerer Edward Kelley while fighting a variety of yōkai creatures into the final battles of the Sengoku period, during Tokugawa Ieyasu's efforts to unify Japan. The gameplay revolves around navigating levels and defeating yōkai that have infested an area; combat revolves around stamina or "Ki" management and different sword stances that are strong or weak against different enemies.
