When combat is required in Okami you’ll find it to be a fast paced offering which ties in perfectly to the wolf avatar you’ll be controlling. Players can also impact this game world around them by restoring nature and animals by removing demons to restore balance to the game world. The overworld is where you’ll spend the bulk of your time exploring and is supported with dungeons that players adventure into and create a seamless adventure.

The game world is also what you would expect to see in a Zelda inspired game with a linear main storyline but a great amount of depth in side quest content for players to explore with the main world continually opening up to players as they acquire new skills.

In terms of gameplay Okami delivers an experience similar to that of the broader genre with a mixture of puzzle, platforming and action battles. While on the surface Okami is a standard fantasy adventure of acquiring power for a final demonic battle the polished nature and unique Japanese lore allow it to stand out from the crowd of other action adventure titles. With the Japanese inspiration this adventure takes place in Japan itself as players follow the trail of Orochi while fighting others that stand in the way and increasing their own power by locating the constellation gods that empower one of the primary game mechanics of the Celestial Brush. Taking this form in order to remove a curse that has returned from hibernation for over a century players are confronted by the eight headed demon Orochi who is also the final boss battle of your story adventure.

With beautiful presentation and an equally beautiful storyline Okami offers a unique Zelda inspired adventure.ĭrawing heavily from the tales of Japanese folklore players control Amaterasu who is the goddess of the sun and takes the form of the white wolf to explore the land below. Originally for PlayStation 2 and Wii in 2008 the game was reborn through a HD remake that expanded the list of available platforms. Okami is a critically acclaimed action adventure title where players control the wolf goddess Okami Amaterasu through a story of Japanese mythology.
