Story

Japan, 1863. After three centuries of the Tokugawa Shogunate’s reign, the Black Ships of the West descend upon the nation's borders and the country falls into a state of turmoil. Amidst the chaos of war, disease, and political unrest, a nameless warrior forges their own path, holding the very fate of Japan in their hands.

- DirectX 12 Ultimate support
- Ultra-wide and super ultra-wide monitor compatibility

Shape your own story.

As a nameless warrior—a ronin—your destiny evolves based on the choices you make. You will encounter historical figures and factions with various ideologies, such as the anti-shogunate faction leader Ryoma Sakamoto and the shogunate-affiliated organization Shinsengumi led by Isami Kondo, allowing you to experience the tumultuous Bakumatsu period. You will face significant decisions, such as whether to assassinate or protect key figures like Naosuke Ii, and craft your own history through a multi-ending system.

Customize your weapons and combat styles.

You can choose from various melee weapons like katana, spear, and odachi, each with multiple combat styles. By freely combining these based on enemies' weapons and your own combat style, you can enjoy a wide range of tactics. There are also ranged weapons like guns and bows, which you must use strategically according to the situation.

Explore beautiful cities in an open world.

In the mixed cultural landscape of Edo, Yokohama, and Kyoto during the Bakumatsu period, you can explore stunning scenery with seasonal changes like cherry blossoms and autumn leaves. You can use a grappling rope to climb onto rooftops and the glider Avicula to glide through the air. Additionally, you can capture your favorite views using Photo Mode.

Customize your character.

From their facial features, hair, and makeup to their body shape and voice, the protagonist—your Veiled Edge—is yours to create. As you progress through the story, you’ll acquire new clothing and gear to customize their appearance further.

Super game. Enjoy a lot the game.
  • Story
  • Early stuff for mobility
  • Gameplay
  • repetitive quests
As many of you may know, the game is performing terribly on PCs. Mine, despite being within the requirements, is unplayable, I basically bought a game to keep in my library and I'll never be able to play it. Instant Gaming isn't responsible for this problem, obviously, but I contacted them and they don't even offer any kind of partial compensation, since they can't refund the game, which is a shame.

If I bought it on Steam it would be more expensive, but I'd at least have a chance of getting a refund.
  • Gameplay is amazing
  • Bad performance on PCs
  • Game almost unplayable
  • CPU usage is insane
This is great and fun so far. Good combat from Team ninja.
  • Fun combat. Scratches the Sekiro Itch.
  • Somewhat unoptimized. But a lot of scaling options
  • 149 Gigs!!
