Side quests will be your best source of income and other goodies. The difficulty level is always just out of reach so you wont be tempted to throw a frustration-induced tantrum. At the outset of the game you wont find the bosses as much as a challenge as later in the game when things do pick up. They require a mix of puzzle-solving, painting and maneuverability. Since youre a God, your character is basically leveled-up to the max. Its pretty easy money mind you, the enemies dont stand much of a chance against you. They are a good source of money and occasionally you will get some interesting unlockables but for the most part you dont really need to take on every enemy you spot flags will indicate their location. Traveling from town to town you will find it surprisingly easy to avoid random battles. Some of the effects that you can create with the brush include changing dark to light, controlling the elements such as wind and rain, clearing the forest of trees and attacking enemies. The triangle button allows the brush to become pressure-sensitive so that you can draw thicker lines to cover more area faster, or thinner lines for greater precision. By pressing the square button you will be able to draw a straight line. The dual analog sticks are used in tandem to control the brush one stick moves the direction of the stroke while the other acts as a camera angle controller, moving the environment. Unlike some DS games where you use the stylus to draw more intricate icons, the brush is quicker and much more intuitive, though it ultimately lacks depth because of such simple shapes and applications. Some of this joining will be context-sensitive, such as drawing a line between ledges or over a chasm which will cause a bridge to appear. Things can be joined with a straight line. The slashes are used to slash things such as objects and enemies. The other shapes that youll be concerned with are slashes and straight lines. As long as its a closed shape with rounded edges it will suffice. The main shape that you have to master is nothing more than a circle. The brush takes a little bit of practice but the CPU is very forgiving. You may have to play the game a number of times before you find everything in it.Īs a God, Amaterasu has a few tricks up her sleeve, the most prominent one being the Celestial Brush which you use to paint shapes that affect the environment and those in the immediate area. There are so many things to collect and so many side-missions to perform that you shouldnt even concern yourself with all of these the first time through. You can go in virtually any direction and the world will stay open for you in the event that you want to backtrack. As a wolf she is nimble, lithe, powerful and fast. I expect this game to show up on many reviewers top picks of the year.Ĭontrolling Amaterasu is incredibly easy. This is the kind of game you wont forget long after youve completed it. Its a fascinating game that will immerse you in its enchanting world. Set in ancient Japan, this action adventure game looks like a traditional Japanese woodcut painting come to life. In Okami you play as the female Japanese Sun God that turns herself into a dog I mean wolf isnt that a bitch? She makes this transformation to bring all life back to the world by defeating the various monsters that are keeping it from blooming and performing a variety of missions that range from collecting to puzzle solving. Yes, there is some significance attached to my usual lame introduction. The Game engine much like The Legend Of Zelda : Wind Waker is one that for me will go down as one that will never age especially with the remastered versions of the game giving it that extra bit of shine and touch to make everywhere you go visually appealing, Alluring and memorable to those who haven't played the game before whilst keeping the vivid fanbase happy with the upgraded graphics allowing them to love what they had previously seen before even more.Did you know that dog spelled backwards is God? And did you know that Okami spelled backwards is Imako? Okay, okay, but at least the first part is interesting The reason for this is simple, The game is amazing to look at, the game is fun to play, complete and play through again over and over, Sure there are a few repetitive things here such as the dungeons and how small/little they start out but then gradually get bigger and more convoluted. For me, Okami is and will always be one of the most loved games that I have bought and will remain in the high top ten of video games for years to come.
