"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is an action-adventure game developed by FromSoftware and published by Activision. It was released on March 22, 2019, for PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Microsoft Windows. Directed by Hidetaka Miyazaki, the creator of the "Dark Souls" series, "Sekiro" departs from the Soulsborne formula to deliver a unique and challenging gaming experience.
Development:
The development of "Sekiro" began shortly after the completion of FromSoftware's "Bloodborne" in 2015.
While "Sekiro" shares some stylistic elements with the Soulsborne series, it introduces a more focused and fast-paced combat system.
Hidetaka Miyazaki and the development team aimed to create a game that blended the studio's signature difficulty with a more structured and narrative-driven experience.
Story:
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" is set in Sengoku-era Japan in the late 1500s. Players control Wolf, a shinobi with a prosthetic arm, seeking to rescue his kidnapped lord and seeking revenge on a samurai who severed his arm and captured his lord.
The narrative explores themes of loyalty, redemption, and the consequences of one's actions.
The game introduces a unique resurrection mechanic where the protagonist can revive himself on the spot after being killed in combat.
Gameplay:
"Sekiro" features a combat system that emphasizes precision, parrying, and countering. The player must master the "Posture" system, managing their own posture while breaking that of their enemies to deliver fatal blows.
The game introduces a grappling hook, allowing for vertical exploration and strategic positioning.
The prosthetic arm can be equipped with various tools, adding versatility to combat and exploration.
Critical Reception:
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" received widespread critical acclaim for its challenging gameplay, engaging narrative, and artistic design.
The game won several Game of the Year awards, including recognition at The Game Awards 2019.
Some players appreciated the departure from traditional Soulsborne mechanics, while others found the game's difficulty to be a point of contention.
"Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice" stands out as a distinct and influential entry in the action-adventure genre, showcasing FromSoftware's commitment to delivering unique and challenging gaming experiences.
