Well, a great hero named Nagi ended this curse when he disguised himself as a Maiden, snuck into the moon cave, and with the help of a powerful wolf named Shiranui, the two of them ended Orochi once and for all, and sealed his spirit in the moon cave using Nagi’s Sacred sword.

We learn that 100 years ago, a great demon known as Orochi had shrouded the same land in Darkness, and every year during the full moon, he would demand a human sacrifice. Some type of curse has shrouded the land and it is somehow connected to an ancient legend that took place over 100 years ago. As the wiki states, the world is shrouded in Darkness. Since Clover Studios closed soon after the game’s initial release, another company (called ‘Ready at Dawn’) had taken it upon themselves to get the game ready for the Wii, and while all the gameplay is the same, whereas in the Ps2 version you bloom Clovers that you find scattered all over the world, the Wii version does not have this (though I am not sure what the substitute is for this).Īnyways, without going into too much more detail about my introduction into this game, I’m just going to go ahead and give you the PROs and CONs so that you can judge this game for yourself if you ever decide to play it:
After I had gotten the game on the Ps2, my friend had bought the version for the Wii. A sequel for the Nintendo DS titled Ōkamiden was released in Japan in September 2010, followed by North America and Europe in March 2011. The Wii version has earned similar praise, though the motion control scheme has received mixed reviews.Ī high-definition port of the game was released on the PlayStation 3 via the PlayStation Network in October 2012 and for retail in Japan in November 2012, supporting the use of the PlayStation Move motion controller.
Although it suffered from poor sales initially, the game became immensely popular afterwards and received critical acclaim, earning the title of IGN‘s 2006 Game of the Year. Ōkami was one of the last PlayStation 2 games selected for release prior to the release of the PlayStation 3. It features a distinct sumi-e-inspired cel-shaded visual style and the Celestial Brush, a gesture-system to perform miracles. Set sometime in classical Japanese history, the game combines several Japanese myths, legends and folklore to tell the story of how the land was saved from darkness by the Shinto sun goddess, named Amaterasu, who took the form of a white wolf. I’ll go ahead and quote some of the basic information of what Okami is from the Wiki because it would take me too long to try and explain it myself: I was lucky to have gone into gamestop when they were having their huge sale and being able to pick up this game for the price that I did, because after I started playing the game, I could not stop and would go on to beat it another five times before I was through.
But, after watching Cryaotic finish his playthrough of it, and having beaten the sequel not too long ago, I have been going down memory lane a lot. Truth-be-told…I knew nothing about the game and did not even bother to try and read up on it because that first glance did not grab hold of me. To me, the game seemed cartoony and really simple- almost outdated compared to other things on the shelf, and I thought it would be boring playing the game as a wolf that sprouts flowers as he runs… I COULD NOT HAVE BEEN MORE WRONG!!! In fact, I had seen the game multiple times on the shelves, but could not bring myself to pay full price for something that just did not look ‘realistic’. When I first saw the game, it was in a gaming magazine and I was going through my “God of War” phase. So Okami was developed by Clover Studios and then later published by Capcom. I am pretty picky when it comes to games, and the thing is, I avoided playing Okami for the longest time when I was younger because it was so… different. Console(s): PS2, Wii, PS3, XboxOne, Nintendo Switch
