The Nioh alpha demo is set to leave the PlayStation Store tomorrow, so today is your last chance to get stuck into this tough samurai slash-'em-up. As far as we're aware, the demo won't allow you to play unless you're connected to its servers, meaning that even if you have it downloaded onto your PS4 right now, you won't be able to jump in once the servers go offline, which, we assume, will happen tomorrow.
It's also worth mentioning that by beating the demo, you'll get an item that you can use in the full release, which is due to launch later this year. We'd recommend at least giving the demo a try, anyway - it's perhaps a little unbalanced, but there's definite potential in this project.

Anyone interested in buying this game should try to defeat the first boss in this demo so you can get a free DLC for the final game.
In the end, I ended up seriously enjoying this demo. I think if they iron out a few kinks, it's going be brilliant when it drops. Bring it on!
Geralt's twin brother makes a great Samurai in this alternative dimension.
Couldn't get anywhere in this game cause of the one hit kills. I dunno. Never had that much trouble in dark souls.
My brother texted me raving about Nioh demo. Said it was like a cross between Demon Souls and Ninja Gaiden.
I died alot more then in Dark Souls but i love this game! Beat the first boss and got my free dlc. I'm sure the balancing will be fixed up before release. Day 1 purchase for sure
Really enjoyed it and loved the setting. Combat seems to be far more complex than the Souls series, but retains some of the gameplay mechanics and, of course, the difficulty. Mixes it up with a loot system and personalised combos. Pro tip - Summon another player to help with the boss.
It's really annoying that it's only available for a limited time. I don't understand why it can't act as a proper demo. Heck, I was able to play the Hitman beta as much as I wanted. I'm really digging this game and like what I've played this far. But I've been play a lot of Bloodborne lately as I download the Old Hunters recently so I haven't had time to play Nioh. I'd like to have it for afterward, but oh well. I'm certainly leaning to picking this up on release day though.
Here's the Nioh Alpha Demo Survey if anyone wants to give some feedback regarding the demo.
