More about Nioh:

In the dark, fantasy action RPG Nioh, players will traverse war-torn Japan as William, a blonde-haired swordsman whose background as a fierce warrior and seasoned knowledge of the blade allows him to survive in the demon-plagued land of the samurai. Players will face off against other samurai in epic sword battles and intense, multi-target engagements offering a level of difficulty that will truly test even the most hardened samurai’s skills, patience, and strategy. Nioh not only incorporates iconic elements from Japanese folklore such as samurai and supernatural creatures—the game also offers the exhilaration of an authentic samurai sword fight straight from Team NINJA. Nioh is guaranteed to challenge players in a way that makes every mission feel earned and their accomplishments worthwhile.

Nioh is scheduled for launch in 2016 and is in development exclusively for the PS4. Keep in touch with the game via its official Facebook page.

I know it's an older post,but the demo being locked behind it was just in Germany. Nier Automata and Nioh were both available for standard accounts outside Germany. Only in Germany were they PS+ only, so you could make an account for a different region store and get them that way.

Seems a lot of PEGI 18 demos are PS+ only in Germany for some reason.


Anyway. Onto the game. I only played the first demo, never had time to finish it, but I liked it. Currently seems to be £44.99 everywhere, so I'll wait, not paying that for it.

Good on the devs for giving a 60fps mode as well.

Wow thx I didn't knew about that.
Well in case for Nioh I doubt the DLC would be compatible with the german full game if I got it on US demo. But I already got it so screw that, gonna download Nier's demo later.

I played this for around 8hrs yesterday and think it's really good, but I'm not as far as I got in the demos yet. It's also hard. People saying it's easier than Soulsborne, well, until someone does a lv.1 naked run, this game is harder by default!
