The Aragami must get close enough to hit a button and it starts an animation that cannot be canceled, and can take around a second. The largest issue with the game is the only way to kill the soldiers is via stealth kills. Normally there would be no issue however, bodies cannot be moved in this game, so when a soldier is killed the body is left there. In this game, if a body is spotted, the same amount of points is lost as if the Aragami itself was. Unlike Tenchu, where if a body is spotted the guards go on alert, but it is not counted against the ninja unless they are actually seen. This is one area of the game that is an issue. If an alarm is sounded at all, whether by seeing the spirit or by seeing a dead body, points are lost. If it fills all the way up or a dead body is found an alarm is sounded and all of the soldiers start looking. If they get close a warning indicator will appear and start to fill up. Avoiding to be seen is pretty basic, stick to the shadowy areas of the map and the soldiers need to almost be on top of you to see you. At the end of every level the assassin is graded on how they did, how many times they were spotted, how many soldiers killed, etc. Or, if the player wishes to really challenge themselves, to sneak past all of them to reach the end of the stage. The game is broken up into several stages, of course each stage is filled with enemies to sneak up on and kill. This is totally up to the player?s play style. If it enters a brightly lit area it will lose shadow power.Īs the Aragami was sent to avenge Yamiko?s people, she naturally wants it to kill the Kaiho. When it runs out, or gets low, and Aragami can spend some time in the shadows to recharge. As the Aragami uses its abilities, the cape slowly loses its light from the bottom up. This is indicated by the intricate glowing pattern on the cape, which really looks more like a banner, on your back. Each time it uses a shadow ability, it gets a little weaker. This vengeful spirit can do so by manipulating shadows, and jumping between them. Their power is drawn from shadow, so it goes without saying stay out of the light. Aragami are basically pure shadow, if sunlight touches them they die. He has been summoned to rescue her and kill all the Kaiho. You are an Aragami, an undead spirit of shadow brought back to life by Yamiko, a young woman kidnaped by the Kaiho, the army of Light. When I heard about Aragami, I immediately started drawing similarities between the two games and hoping that Aragami would recapture the magic of Tenchu. However, there was a lesser known series that came out a few months earlier called Tenchu, a ninja stealth action game all about assassination which was a favorite of mine.
