FromSoftware is one of the most competent studios today — but that’s no longer a secret to anyone. Its main calling card is the difficulty of its games, but another indispensable quality of its portfolio is its flexibility in creating intriguing stories and different gameplay styles.
After a long time focusing heavily on soulsborne combat in games like Demon’s Soulsthe entire franchise Dark Souls e Bloodbornethe Japanese giant came with a different proposal for Axe: Shadows Die Twicebringing an elegant approach to very challenging stealth gameplay.
The good news here, however, is that An axe completed five years on the market last Friday (22). Therefore, nothing better than celebrating the 2019 Game of the Year by remembering some of the main information from this epic adventure!
A merciless feudal Japan
Axe: Shadows Die Twice takes players to ruthless feudal Japan, where a warrior called “Wolf” embarks on a journey of revenge after being resurrected by a supernatural being.
The protagonist was sworn to protect a young lord descended from an ancient bloodline — and that, of course, is reason enough to become the target of many dangerous enemies, including the feared Ashina clan.

The game is set in a fantasy Japan of the 1500s, a brutal period of conflict in which enemies roam a dark and distorted world. When the young lord is captured by the rival clan, the Wolf sets out on a journey of redemption in which nothing will stop him — not even death itself.
