We allowed players to co-op anytime in the last trial demo only because of the limited stages and time to try out the demo." "We want players to experience Nioh in how it was intended to be.

What they changed doesn't make sense, it was last minute, and 99 per cent of people obviously are unhappy with this backwards take on co-op," added Redditor midpyro.Ĭreative director at Team Ninja Tom Lee told Kotaku that this feature was changed "because that would make it too easy for players to beat the game."

But if you intend to play through Nioh with a friend as you progress together, you won't be able to do this - despite that being an option in the beta. If you're just looking for help from a stranger (just a friend you haven't met), this tweak won't be particularly bothersome.

In the full game that's true too, only there's one catch: the person being summoned must have beaten the level first. In the beta, players could summon in another player to help them tackle one of Nioh's many fiercely challenging bosses. The Ogress boss could be tackled with a friend in the Last Chance beta, but one of you will have to defeat her first in order to team up in the full game. Team Ninja's latest samurai action epic Nioh is a fantastic blend of Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden, but there's one major feature that's been altered since the game's two beta tests to contentious results: the way co-op works.
