Live and die by the sword, many times
FromSoftware's Hidetaka Miyazaki has made a name for himself designing brutally hard games with moody European settings. Now he's created another difficult sword-swinging game, but this time set in a mythical version of Japan's Sengoku period (Warring States, 1482-1573).
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice," released late last month priced at ¥8,208 for PlayStation 4, Xbox One and PC, follows a one-armed ninja out for revenge. Protagonist Sekiro, which means "one-armed wolf," carries one sword throughout the game, but he also has an upgradable prosthetic arm that can be outfitted with things like a grappling hook and even a flamethrower.
