Sekiro: 11 MAJOR Changes That Will Shock Dark Souls Fans

8. Only One Main Weapon

Onto the really divisive stuff.

No longer can you swap around an assortment of spears, daggers, great swords or whatever else. Protagonist Sekiro mains a katana, but his variety in approach comes from a Prosthetic Arm, which can be equipped with everything from flamethrowers to shurikens, axes to fire-imbued punches.

The prosthesis' rotating slew of moves takes the place of your "heavy attack", but usage is also governed by a small "white cross" currency that refills when you kill enemies. Need an axe to break a shield? You'd better hope you've saved up enough crosses, or dart off to find someone else to murder first.
