Nioh 2: The Complete Edition includes - Nioh 2 - The Tengu’s Disciple - Darkness in the Capital - The First Samurai Nioh 2: The Complete Edition for PC is an action roleplaying game, in this release complete (as the name implies) with all previously released DLC for a compact download and gameplay experience. In the first game, players had to play as the Western Samurai, William Adams (based on a real historical character), but in this version, you can choose his appearance as a costume, if you like, being instead a Yokai, or mystical creature/ spirit from Japanese folklore. About the Game The character customisation is highly intricate with plenty of detailed choices and you can immediately return to the creation studio if you don’t like the way your character looks in the rather different lighting of the game. This ensures that you have a character whose looks and clothing you are completely happy with, and you can even share a code that lets other players use your customisation as their characters. Being a Yokai brings you powers you would not have as a human, and you can play as both, being Hide, a Shiftling, or half Yokai, half human hybrid.

If you get it to a shrine quickly, you will harvest that Yokai’s powers and gain the ability to transform into them for a time.
