You play as a Slayer tasked with fighting Oni in a fantasy version of Japan. A story campaign takes you through a world that opens up as you progress, with missions and characters to encounter along the way.
Explore the regions and battle large Oni with a choice of weapon types. Combat includes targeting and breaking specific body parts, using a special hand-like tool to grab or attack foes, and fighting alongside companions.
Craft and upgrade weapons and armor, then combine spirit-based abilities to shape your build. Companions can join your hunts, and cooperative play is also available for a selection of missions.
Players who enjoy the game often praise its range of weapon styles and the flexibility of its spirit-based build system. Reviews also highlight the story and characters, distinctive Oni designs, and companion support. Some find the hunts repetitive or the combat uneven, and several criticize the PC controls and port.
