Similar to its predecessor, Nioh 2 is an action role-playing game. Players can create their own playable character, who was a yōkai spirit. Players are equipped with a variety of weapons such as odachi and kusarigama, and earn new skills as they progress in the game.[2] When players defeat a hostile yōkai, some of them may drop a "Soul Core". They allow players to use yōkai abilities and transform into a yōkai after being deposited in a shrine.[3]
At locations named "Benevolent Graves", players can summon other players, controlled by artificial intelligence, to assist them in combat.[4] The game also features a three-player cooperative multiplayer mode.
