Hey there, Samurai! Bkstunt here, ready to guide you through Nioh 3. Think of this like we're playing together, just like I do for my friends. Nioh 3 takes inspiration from games like Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden, but it's definitely its own beast. If you dig challenging combat, you're gonna love this.

This game is tough, no doubt about it, but with some perseverance and by leveling up, you'll soon be taking down even the scariest enemies. Don't worry if the early levels feel rough; I've got your back, and your skills will grow!

This guide is all about helping you get through the game. I'll be typing out exactly what I'm doing and thinking as I play, so hopefully, it feels like we're on this journey together. Remember the spirit of Bushido we're about to embody: "Bushido is realized in the presence of death. This means choosing death whenever there is a choice between life and death. There is no other reasoning."

Controls

Alright, let's get down to business. There are six different control schemes (A-F), and this covers Type A. Definitely mess around with them to find what feels best for you!
