📋 About This Mod

This is a heavy ReShade, going for that kind of 80's/retro/neon aesthetic. It's my first custom ReShade, so feel free to tweak it to your preference. :)

Installation:

-Download the latest version of ReShade here

-Install to your "sekiro.exe" location ("steam/steamapps/common/sekiro" or something similar)

-Select Direct10 3D+

-It will then download the prerequisite effect files

-You can leave all selected if you wish to tweak it, but the only truly necessary files are; AmbientLight.fx, CRT.fx, Bloom.fx, Clarity.fx, ColorMatrix.fx, Curves.fx, Deband.fx, DPX.fx, Technicolor2.fx and Vignette.fx

-Now, move the my preset file into that same "sekiro.exe" directory

-When you launch the game, press "Home" to open the ReShade menu

-After the tutorial, select "Blood Dragon 1. 2.ini" from the drop-down menu

Additional Mods to complete the look:

Body model from Genji Mod or Sekiro as Gray Fox (MGS)

Sword model from Starwars Light Saber katana

Mortal Blade and "Only ropes and grapling hook" from Cyberpunk Set for Sekiro

And for a true retro experience, I recommend using the Sekiro Fps Unlock And More tool to both limit the framerate(~30 FPS) and lower the game speed (~85%)

Not to mention throwing on some good synthwave music and enjoying the experience. :)
