Play as Raiden, a half-human, half-cyborg swordsman drawn into a conflict involving private armies, military technology, and political violence. As he fights enemy forces, he pursues the people behind the attacks.
Battle in fast-paced, third-person sword combat. Chain light and heavy attacks, block and parry incoming strikes, and use Blade Mode to slow time and choose where to cut enemies and objects.
