Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice – Game of the Year (tr) – A Brutal Journey Awaits
Prepare to die. A lot. Sekiro™: Shadows Die Twice is a challenging, critically acclaimed action-adventure game from FromSoftware, the creators of the Dark Souls series and Bloodborne. Set in a reimagined, late 1500s Sengoku period Japan, you play as Wolf, a disgraced and disfigured warrior rescued from the brink of death. Sworn to protect a young lord who is the descendant of an ancient bloodline, you become the target of many vicious enemies, including the dangerous Ashina clan. When the young lord is captured, Wolf embarks on a perilous quest to regain his honor, protect his master, and exact revenge on those who wronged him. Armed with a prosthetic arm that can be outfitted with a variety of deadly gadgets and weapons, you'll need to master new combat techniques, strategic stealth, and brutal executions to survive.
Storyline:
The story of Sekiro is one of loyalty, sacrifice, and revenge. You are Wolf, a shinobi tasked with guarding the Divine Heir, Kuro. When the Ashina clan attacks and severs Wolfs arm, Kuro is captured. Wolf is left for dead, but a mysterious sculptor finds him and crafts a prosthetic arm for him. Fueled by a burning desire to rescue Kuro and avenge his defeat, Wolf embarks on a dangerous journey through a war-torn land filled with treacherous enemies and supernatural threats. He must unravel the mysteries surrounding the Divine Heir's bloodline and confront powerful foes who seek to exploit its power.
