Nioh PC will get belated mouse and keyboard help

Nioh is a peculiar beast in that we contemplate it to own “one of the finest combat systems ever put on a screen”, however on the identical time its lack of keyboard and mouse help makes it a little bit of a black sheep within the PC household. Dark Souls comparisons have been inevitable for Nioh, not solely due to its steely strive’n’die fantasy swordplay, but additionally as a result of Dark Souls too initially launched on PC in a rather compromised state. Fortunately, official fixes for Nioh have been a complete lot faster to reach – it’s about to help the PC’s oldest inputs in spite of everything.
