You can also block or dodge incoming attacks. You can then proceed with light or heavy attacks, stringingg these into various combos that differ depending on how you've leveled up, which stance you're in and what weapon you're using. Clicking the right thumb-stick locks you onto an enemy, and flicking that same stick allows you to change targets. You have magic, melee and ranged options. It's rarely, if ever, as slow as the original Dark Souls and would be better served by a comparison to either Bloodborne or Dark Souls III.

Combat in Nioh feels a lot like a Souls game.
