An action RPG set in a supernatural version of Sengoku-era Japan. A custom protagonist combines human combat skills with yokai powers, using different weapons and abilities taken from defeated creatures. Weapon stances, ki recovery and counters shape demanding encounters.
The original PS4 game first released in Japan on March 12, 2020; its international launch was announced for March 13. The PC Complete Edition and PS5 remaster followed later.
