    The RPG genre of home video games has not changed in nearly 20 years, and has become bloated and dull as a result. Okage is merely one more RPG, but it has the saving grace of being visually beautiful and having a humorously warped and witty plot.

    It's a great game, but you have to talk to some people over and over again at one time to get the info you need. Other than that it's great!

    the worst part of this game in general is that the animations are derpy as ****. aside from that, the characters are all quirky, interesting and funny. the story itself is probably the best i've ever seen in any form of media (just my opinion) and the character design is unique in a good way. the world is small, but you would be surprised how well that space is used at times. my worstthe worst part of this game in general is that the animations are derpy as ****. aside from that, the characters are all quirky, interesting and funny. the story itself is probably the best i've ever seen in any form of media (just my opinion) and the character design is unique in a good way. the world is small, but you would be surprised how well that space is used at times. my worst personal in game experience is that one boss has the potential to one shot you if you're unlucky/unprepared because his attacks seem to use a dice roll like mechanic (from 1-300 damage for example). one of my favorite scenes involves a boss lecturing the hero on tact cus she called him ugly, though i don't think there's any shortages of good moments. (i wish this game would get a remake)… Expand

    Some of the dialogue was actually pretty funny.

    Instead of a gourmet dinner, we get something heated up out of a can; it’s filling, it doesn’t actually taste bad, be we never get that feeling of satisfaction that comes from eating a truly great meal.

    The only shadows Okage: Shadow King is going to be ruling at my house are the ones under the stack of other games I'd rather be playing.

    A must for any fan of Tim Burton's style of movies or those of us who like our games to sometimes be a little left of center.
