I don't know if these secondary enhancements apply to subsequent play-throughs with other characters or New Game+ (like Borderlands 2 does). 1% more damage to monsters, 0.5% more experience per kill). There is a secondary character enhancement scheme similar to Borderlands, where you accumulate 'points' which can be spent on minor cumulative performance enhancements (e.g. Nioh also features skill trees where skill unlocks may either grant a new 'move' across multiple weapons, or only for the specific weapon type whose tree it appears within.

Leveling is similar to a souls game, where you collect ever increasing amounts of experience points to upgrade primary attributes (such as health, strength etc.), and upgrading those causes numerous secondary attributes to raise (such as HPs, resistances, damage with certain weapon types). As you explore you come across the 'remains' of other players, you can resurrect them as a hostile 'revenant' and if you kill them you can loot a couple of random pieces of the gear they were equipped with.

I have not tried the co-op yet, but the offline PVP aspect is interesting. The use of an over-world map feels less 'clever' and novel than the way that Souls games link their locations together, but in the context of adventuring in a wide range of places across Japan, linking the locations makes no sense. You use an over-world map to select destinations for missions which reuse locations but change enemy types, map layout, and enemy locations - this reuse is similar to Tenchu, but with more enemy-set variety. Nioh does offer some set rewards for its missions and i assume that may factor into people stretching themselves to get a reward they want but as a mechanic that feels less organic and engaging than the way Dark souls pushes you to take risks to get better gear. This means you don't quite have the same feeling of 'I will go on a near suicidal dash to get a specific weapon or armor from a tricky location, or tricky foe' that makes playing Dark Souls that more interesting. The loot system is unlike in Dark souls or Bloodborne where key loot is placed in locations by design, or needs to be farmed from enemies that 'use' the item you want and each item is designed (rather than randomly generated). in addition to items with random stats, there are armor sets with bonuses for collecting them and a crafting, enhancement, and modification system. The loot generation is dynamic except for mission rewards, but not at the Diablo and Borderlands level of diversity. Note that (in the tradition of such games), these respawn points restore your health and healing potions, but also cause all but certain enemies to reappear. The respawn points are just close enough together so that you don't kick yourself over the futility of a 'retrieval' when you die - unless you missed one of them. This engaging as it emotionally involves the player in the game with minor triumphs and failures. Nioh features the character death mechanic where you drop your 'experience points' on the floor where you die - and have one life to reclaim them before the 'experience points' disappear.

The controls are tight and responsive, and the combat is in true 3D space - where your attack strikes any enemy in your weapon's path - unlike the Batman 'Arkham' series Shadow of Mordor and (pre-Origins) Assassins creed, which are more of a '2D fighting engine in 3D' with their auto-facing/turning/locking-on attacks directed at one enemy at a time. There is a high skill cap that is to some degree gear and level independent - so a skilled player can do well in bad gear - but gear does play a bigger factor in your character's performance thanin similar games such as Dark Souls and Bloodborne. it has a good atmosphere and sense of exploration, and overall your charcater feels less fragile than in similar games. it has a good atmosphere and sense of exploration, and overall your charcater feels less fragile than in Nioh is a fluid and exciting ARPG.
