Could someone just give me a quick example of a game with similar combat?

I've played a lot of third person arpgs, souls, samurai games, fighting games

What is this the closest to? If you had to pick a game. I've got a death grip on my right wrist trying to dissuade myself from purchasing this game before I know a little bit more.

Probably closer to a fighting game then an arpg or souls-like (thank god, I'm getting so sick of the souls formula at this point .) Very quick animations and split-second decision making required to be good at the game, as well as reading your opponent.

So, like Soul Calibur but faster paced? What 3D fighter would you compare it to? Thanks for the response, btw.

I'd say it's a bit slower-paced then some fighting games, it's really hard to put a direct finger on it. It's also in part dependent on how you play and what weapon you use as they're all different. If you like arpgs/fighting games you'll enjoy this, but it's def not soulslike.

I'd say gunz is probably the closest thing I've seen to this game. It has the same kind of cheap, jank feel to it, which, if you've ever played gunz, you'll know, isn't a bad thing.

soul calibur isn't a souls game. That being said, I really wouldn't compare this game to either. Soul calibur is much faster paced than naraka, and souls games don't give you anywhere near the kind of mobility that naraka does.

why not just get this lol?

In term of PVP I think nothing else in recent memory fits. Since it is a 3d melee fighting game designed for keyboard and mouse.

But in term of the satisfactions you get from combat Nioh 1 - 2 ? The parry feels similar, very tight timing but very satisfying when you land one.

You got your light and heavy attack pattern, and a charged attack when you press and hold, etc

i have a lot of games on my plate. i was about to go for it, but i do like to be pretty selective. nioh 2????? okay there we go that's exactly what the ♥♥♥♥ i wanna hear. i'm buyin this ♥♥♥♥ right now. I'm a huuuuge nioh fan. alright buddy you made me a believer. thanks for the input guys.

This game's combat is like Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice but more skill and combos. Skill cap is extremely high and rest part of this game is like Apex with high movement/dodge stuff.
