Nioh's co-op has changed since the beta, much to fans' chagrin

[Administrator]

Team Ninja's latest samurai action epic Nioh is a fantastic blend of Dark Souls and Ninja Gaiden, but there's one major feature that's been altered since the game's two beta tests to contentious results: the way co-op works.
In the beta, players could summon in another player to help them tackle one of Nioh's many fiercely challenging bosses. In the full game that's true too, only there's one catch: the person being summoned must have beaten the level first.
If you're just looking for help from a stranger (just a friend you haven't met), this tweak won't be particularly bothersome. But if you intend to play through Nioh with a friend as you progress together, you won't be able to do this - despite that being an option in the beta. Many fans were not pleased about this.
