Sticking to the shadows is the only way to regenerate your essence and avoid the light that drains it. Using any of your shadow abilities consumes shadow essence, so you can’t just spam your abilities to your heart’s content. Aragami reminded me a lot of Mark of the Ninja, except it’s in 3D and has co-op capabilities. Whether you want to slay everyone that stands in your way or move through the shadows completely unseen is entirely up to you.
You’ll always be graded at the end of each level in a variety of categories and mainly it’s most important to not be seen or getting through a level without killing anyone, and I would advise you not to be detected as it’s pretty much a death sentence. Thirteen levels consist of the main campaign, which will take you around six to seven hours to complete, depending on your stealth skills. If you step out into the light though, your power will be drained and you’ll be put at a severe disadvantage with the patrolling guards.Īs you progress through Aragami you can find hidden scrolls to unlock new shadow abilities, like going invisible for a short time or creating a shadow at will for you to hop between platforms. Essentially, the shadows are your main source of life and they give you power.
This is a brutally unforgiving environmental stealth title and the only way you can succeed is by remaining in the shadows. While playing, the princess will speak to you through an orb of light and marks your current objective on a map. Your goal is to infiltrate the army of light and set the princess free.Īrmed with a sword and the abilities to control the shadows, you must use your wits and powers to stay out of sight as you delve deeper into enemy territory. The story was intriguing and told throughout cutscenes as well as dialogue between the two as you play. In Aragami you play as, well… Aragami, an undead assassin summoned by a kidnapped princess and it’s up to you to rescue her. Now, Aragami returns for the Nintendo Switch with the Shadow Edition, which includes the Nightfall story DLC campaign and a few other extras to try and satisfy your stealth needs. Aragami, from developer Lince Works, released last year and was thought of as a budget Assassin’s Creed meets Dishonored featuring more stealth. I love the stealth genre, from Thief 2: The Metal Age to the Tenchu series, and even the stellar Mark of the Ninja, nothing is more exhilarating than lurking in the shadows trying not to be caught and then executing the perfect kill.
