Quietly sitting at an 83 average. The algorithm never did this one any favors. A proper RPG: big systems, bigger choices, and fantasy, historical all the way down. A full single-player game with a multiplayer side that refuses to die.

About this game

Master the lethal arts of the samurai as a mysterious half-human, half-supernatural Yokai warrior, in this challenging action RPG sequel. Explore violent Sengoku-era Japan and the deadly Dark Realm, both plagued with grotesque, merciless demons. Unsheathe your deadly weapons and cut down all enemies in your path using a revamped combat system and the ability to transform into a full Yokai to unleash devastating paranormal powers.

In the war-torn Japan of the late 1500s, a half-yokai known as a Shiftling can channel demonic power drawn from both a human father and a yokai mother. Drawn into the turmoil of the Sengoku era, the Shiftling befriends Tokichiro, an ambitious merchant chasing the mystical substance Amrita, and Mumyo, a steadfast demon hunter. Together they wade into the rise and fall of warring clans and warlords while facing hordes of yokai across the land. Shadowing their every step is the enigmatic Kashin Koji, a sinister figure tied to an ancient demon who manipulates events from behind the scenes.
