    This game has good idea, but very poor realisation. First of all, it does not have save system, and checkpoints system are BADLY designed. One mistake -- and you should replay big part of level again, and again, so it became not boring, but stupid. If you add monotonous levels (really, most levels are unneeded and only have minimal differences in gameplay.

    And there are another thing: game control seems to be a bit misaligned, so player does not have perfect control over character. So interface hell would be one of the source of constant errors. Well, and bossfights. As always in BAD games, bosses violated game rules. they could be killed only be most notoriously long way (and they ignore almost any abilities character have), that with addition to no saves lead only to frustration.

    So this game should be considered only as draft, with good idea, but poor realisation.    … Expand

    A very good game, very enjoyable, coupling gameplay from Dark (vampire with teleportation abilities) and from the Tenchu franchise with a feudal Japan setting. It is well balanced and executed, it is not a rushed game. Gameplay is interesting and evolving through the missions.

    The cellshading graphics are pretty good and the level design pretty interesting and not so obvious. Enemies are everywhere and you have to use your shadow powers very cleverly just to stay alive (detection generally means death ).
    On the minus side :
    The performance is not so good at the release date , the frame rate is really bad like 20 fps on some chapters with everything maxed and changing resolution leads to strong darkening of the screen (?)
    However, I have good hopes that these drawbacks will be fixed witth the next updates.
    At 18 € on release on the french steam store i think it is a good deal.    … Expand

    Aragami has nice graphics but poor content.
    I love stealth games but this game is not better than Thief (a bad game too). There is not enough skill/ability to finish a mission for a stealth game. Story is not much relate to each other. I felt nothing at the end of the game.

    I liked this game at first but the awful checkpoints and lack of variety in level design wore me down.

    Take the color palette from Mirror's Edge, put some cell shading from Borderlands, take a crippled version of Blink and Corvo from Dishonored, throw them into a melting pot and you have Aragami.

    Game plagued by the worst capital (if worst could be capital in the same time) SIN of stealth games - NO F***ING HARD SAVE. Checkpoints horribly placed, if you die (and you will die a lot - because it's 1 hit kill) you are excruciatingly, painfully, horrendously forced to replay the chapter either from start or from the next checkpoint placed in the middle of f***ing nowhere, until you'll learn by heart all enemies routes. See what happened to Hitman Absolutions, Metro 2033, last Splinter Cell Games and how they were criticized because of this idiotic checkpoint system especially in stealth games. Oh yes, and Corvo could jump flawlessly over fences, this shadow "assassin" is crippled by the bad programming decisions. Pity though, it could have been a very interesting character. Uninstalled with light speed after third chapter.

    Did it all in coop, which was great. Made me wish the Tenchu games were on PC. Had some annoyances, like enemies sometimes killing you while you were killing them, and the occasional mishap while using the warp, but all in all, a great game to kill time with a friend over a night or two.

    This is a new kind of game. It isn't an ordinary stealth game, it is awesome. This is my favourite game of 2016. Maybe some quick time event in final cutscene. Make ARAGAMI 2, please.

    I only played this game with a friend, and we had a blast. It was so fun jumping around and sneaking past enemies. The checkpoints are placed in a weird way, sometimes you have to replay the entire level and sometimes you just loose a second of progress.
    So if you got a friend just pick up the game and game on.

    I liked it. I like the stealthy assassin concept, which is frustratingly difficult at times. The game requires a very powerful machine, sometimes it' lagged to me.. Good story, good fighting, good concept.

    This game has great and satisfying stealth combat. An interesting point is how all the Hud elements are implemented into the cape. I enjoyed this game but the story is forgettable. Its a fun play but It's nothing too special.

    With Aragami 2 recently coming out, I decided to pick up the first game as it was on sale for Steam and I have heard good things about it.

You play as a character known as Aragami, you are summoned to help collect several talismans for somebody who needs to be rescued, along the way you will sneak passed a multitude of enemies, getting scrolls to help you gain more abilities and utilizing these to best assist you when you make a mistake and get spotted which happened to me a bit...

    Visuals/graphics - Want to start with this as it was the thing that drew me to the game at first. It is a cel shaded style game and I think it looks really good, not Breath of the Wild good but still really pretty to look at. There are a lot of enemies that look the same but this is just a minor thing, and to be honest, the detail of the game was never really something I was overly interested in.

    Story - It is predictable in my view, but I still enjoyed it, it isn't anything overly different, it won't change your life. You get cutscenes here and there, with some dialogue throughout gameplay and flashback scenes, but they are sprinkled fairly lightly throughout and you will not be plagued with long drawn out scenes. For the simplicity of the story, the amount of it that they give is perfect in my opinion.

    Gameplay - I had a good time here with gameplay, its also fairly simplistic (much like the story), you need to stay in the shadows to remain hidden, you can either avoid enemies entirely or go out of your way to kill them all. I personally was middle of the road, sometimes I would pick apart some enemies, other times I would just sneak my way through, the game is more difficult if you intend to go for the scrolls. Being detected means trouble as you die with one hit, this may sound unfair but I played on Normal difficulty and I really didn't have much of an issue with it, whenever I failed, it was mostly because I was careless, and even though there are complaints about this game with it's checkpoint system, I don't think the checkpoints are that cruel.

    Abilities - You obtain about 5-6 scrolls each level that are scattered around the map, I would suggest immediately investing in the ability to be able to locate these scrolls in your surroundings as they will give you access to more abilities to have more fun with the game. Once I had this ability, I obtained every scroll in the game and when you get towards the end, there is so much fun to be had with utilizing all these skills in different ways. One of my favourites was setting a trap on the ground, calling 3 guards over by ringing a bell and then activating the trap to see them get sucked into a shadow ball of death, very cool. Some skills are better than others but it is up to you to find out what works best for you. You can obtain all abilities in one playthrough so there isn't much reason to go back and play the chapters again aside from getting a higher ranking.

    Technical issues - Not much to say here other than some frame rate issues on PC, was VERY minor though. This isn't really a technical issue but you have an ability where you can create a shadow on the ground and then use that to warp to it, it wasn't always clear where you could do this, in some areas outside the shadows you could do it but other locations you just couldn't, there is definitely some roughness to the game but it is a newer developer so I give them a pass.

    Music - There is some nice background music while you play and I really love the theme for this game, if you haven't heard it then look it up, it sounds absolutely gorgeous.

    Final Rating - Lince Works is the developer for this game and they have only ever made Aragami 1 and 2, so you need to keep that in mind when judging the game, its not gonna be some grandiose adventure. However for their first attempt at a game, I enjoyed this one, its not perfect, a lot of the gameplay and story is simplistic but I am still impressed and mostly what I care about is having fun, which I most definitely did. Great job to them. This game may not be for everyone, but if you like stealth games and aren't expecting Metal Gear Solid levels of stealth, then give this one a go.    … Expand

Изначально игра называлась Twin Souls: The Path of Shadows. Игроки берут на себя роль Арагами, убийцы со сверхъестественными способностями.

    Инди ассасин, и в кооперативе последнее стало решающим для покупки.
    Одним из главных особенностей игры является ее уникальный стиль боя. Главный герой, Арагама, может использовать различные виды оружия и способностей, чтобы сражаться с противниками. Однако вместо того, чтобы атаковать своих врагов напрямую, он использует свои навыки ниндзя, чтобы скрытно подкрадываться к ним и убивать их.
    Так же в принципе можно проходить 13 уровней и 4 из дополнения, в режиме палач, призрак, пацифист, так же присутствует 3 сложности.

    Сюжет неплохой проникся первый раз, когда смотрел прохождение на ютубе. Если основная игра не подталкивает к прохождению в кооп, то дополнение NightFall я бы сказал для погружение, прям обязательно в кооп.
    Так же в тут есть платформинг, и у меня снова с этим были проблемы, при перепрохождение игры на ачивки, уже не испытывал особых проблем с этим. Что странно в игре есть сцены где уместно было бы использовать QTE, да это уже не модно, но новое это хорошо забытое старое, можно было бы и внедрить, а то смотрим катсцены и все.

    NightFall
    Еще 4 дополнительных локации - это то что нужно, тема с кооп. развили теперь так и задумано, а не как в основной игре, 2 арагами бегают а на самом деле один, и дополнение рассказывает предысторию основной игры, мелочь, а приятно узнать немного еще об этим мире. Тут убрали прокачку что правильно, не успеем раскачаться просто напросто.
    Как и в основной игре, все есть, но кнопок QTE нет, я считаю они они думали их внедрить, по передумали, а зня я бы потыкал. Помню как в 5 резике мы приятно проводили время с целиком на QTE сценах, один нажал, второй заруинил, и заново)    … Expand
