Hatchets are an unusual weapon, smaller axes wielded in pairs.They also crush through guards and devastate Ki. However when axes and hammers hit, they wallop.
Axes (and hammers) are somewhat an unconventional choice of weapon - once used by great heroes in Japan's ancient times and steeped in history, but rapidly falling out of use by the time of the Sengoku Jidai, they are also Difficult, but Awesome because they are slow long windups leave you open to retaliation and also make it hard to exploit openings in enemy movements yourself note Effectively you are playing as a traditional Dark Souls character in a game where enemies are generally attacking at very fast speeds with very little telegraphing, which is what makes this weapon so tricky.Awesome Moment of Crowning: When Oda Nobunaga names both Tokichirou and the Player Character Hide collectively as Hideyoshi, with the Main theme of Nioh playing in the background.Ass Shove: The Red Kappas have a particularly nasty grab attack where they ram their claws up your rear end and yank out your shirikodama, a mythical ball said to contain your soul that is located in your anus.For example, Shibata Katsuie (he was a revenant in the level where you fought Nobunaga-Kelley-Orochi) Ascended Extra: Since this game takes place in the past era compared to the first game, prepare to encounter familiar names that previously existed only as a revenant.The first game didn't have an awful lot to do with the term Nioh, which refers to a pair of Deva kings / guardians of the Buddha and is often used to symbolically refer to a powerful duo, beyond a blink-and-you'll-miss-it line by Ieyasu to Hanzo that his (and presumably William's) service was "like that of the Nioh." This game on the other hand has the premise of two individuals joining forces (and names) to become the historical Toyotomi Hideyoshi, and are explicitly referred to as being "like Nioh" by Nobunaga.
