First, there is a wind-up from the enemy.Īnd then punish the enemy with a counter-attack. They have a similar three-stage execution. This is very similar to Sekiro's Step Dodge. You execute a dodge by pressing Left Analog Stick + Circle The concept is similar in both games, where you can avoid the attack and do a counter-attack. This leaves the enemy open for a counter-attack. However, Ghost does not use the mechanic of Stamina, which the Souls games rely on to prevent spamming of attacks.īoth games contain the game mechanic of Parrying, where you can react to an attack just before it lands, such that the Block becomes a Parry. The following are the shared characteristics of their combat: Blockingĭark Souls and Ghost of Tsushima both have Blocking. If you want to see if there are any similarities between Souls game combat and Ghost of Tsushima, you can view our Combat Guide. Ghost of Tsushima does not have a Lock On mechanic, however, it is using an auto focus that you can control via the left analog stick. You can lock on to your target by pressing the right analog stick, and then change the focus by using the left analog stick. In the Souls games, the first combat mechanic you learn is the Lock On. The equivalent of this is the Thrust Attack in Sekiro. You execute a Stab attack by holding the Triangle button. Similarly, in Ghost, once the meter is filled up, a large impact animation is shown and the meter is broken. With enough number of attacks, the posture will become broken You can imagine this as something similar to Sekiro's Posture mechanic as shown below. The moment a heavy attack lands on an enemy, a meter will start gaining a build-up, accumulating based on the attacks you hit him. In Sekiro, strong attacks have a wind up animation.
While doing this, the enemy can hit you, so time it well. First, there is an extra animation where Jin pulls back to give extra force to the attack.
We can divide the flow of a heavy attack into three stages. There is no staggering impact on the target though. There is minimal wind up and they are executed instantaneously. Quick attacks are executed from the current stance of Jin. You can even parry an arrow in Ghost of Tsushima and it has charged attacks like Bloodborne!īefore we go through the advanced topics of combat, let's begin with the basics of attacks and how Ghost is similar to Sekiro. Based on the gameplay shown, its combat is engaging, skill-based, and challenging. We compared it to Witcher 3, however, the combat of Ghost of Tsushima has more depth than that of Witcher 3.
