Game Overview
Game Overview
FromSoftware, the makers of the acclaimed Dark Souls and Bloodborne games has worked with Activision to release an exciting new game that takes place after the Sengoku period in Japan.
Setting
Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice takes place in the Tohoku region and follows fictional events during the period of warring states. The main character is an assassin who has lost his arm, having what is called a “ninja arm” grafted in its place. As a result, he is called the “one-armed wolf” Sekiro.
Story
Plucked from the battlefields during the Sengoku period when he was just a child, Sekiro is a shinobi who goes on a quest for revenge on the samurai who kidnapped his lord and severed his left arm.
Taken from Activision’s website:
“In Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice you are the “one-armed wolf”, a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death. Bound to protect a young lord who is the descendant of an ancient bloodline, you become the target of many vicious enemies, including the dangerous Ashina clan. When the young lord is captured, nothing will stop you on a perilous quest to regain your honor, not even death itself. Explore late 1500s Sengoku Japan, a brutal period of constant life and death conflict, as you come face to face with larger than life foes in a dark and twisted world. Unleash an arsenal of deadly prosthetic tools and powerful ninja abilities while you blend stealth, vertical traversal, and visceral head to head combat in a bloody confrontation. Take Revenge. Restore your honor. Kill Ingeniously.”
Game Features
Stylish Action
Sekiro fights using various weapons such as swords and an arsenal of prosthetic tools among others.
Sword
Sekiro’s main weapon is a sword, used to engage enemies head-on or perform surprise Deathblows to instantly kill them.
Prosthetic Arm
Sekiro’s prosthetic arm is a toolbox of weapons disguised as an artificial limb. This was given to him by monks at the desolated temple.
Grappling Hook
Sekiro can stealthily traverse the various locations of the game using his grappling hook. It allows him to get in position to perform surprise attacks.
Prosthetic Tools
Inside Sekiro’s prosthetic arm are various weapons, including an ax that can destroy enemy shields and shuriken to fling at enemies from a distance.
Slaughter
A deadly technique to finish off enemies. It can also be used in combos or during various other actions.
Abandonment
A technique where Sekiro tramples the weapon of an enemy to the ground after an attack. This allows him to follow-up with a counterattack.
Online Features
There are currently no online features confirmed for the game, making Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice a purely single-player experience.
