    PROS!:
    -Great story, I know that may not be agreed upon by everybody but the payoff brings everything together in a way I felt was very satisfying
    -I am inherently a fan of stealth and this is a game about a shadow ninja....so yeah...it's stealthy -Cinematics really make the story beats enjoyable. -The enemies have a reasonable line of sight - not too realistic not too stupid. OKS!:    PROS!:

    -Cinematics really make the story beats enjoyable.
    -The enemies have a reasonable line of sight - not too realistic not too stupid.

    OKS!:
    -Fighting is not an option like in many other stealth games. You either sneak up on fools or avoid them, fighting results in one hit kills.
    -You got three boss fights. They are ok. That's all I have to say about that. Oh, and final boss sucks.
    -Upgradeable abilities don't do anything new but are serviceable. Using your abilities economically is done well though.

    CONS!:
    -Runs terribly. I mean, why? Look at it!
    -The missions are monotonous. Disable light barrier, reach next area, infiltrate pagoda. Two enemies: swordsman and archers. Nothing is different from mission to mission save for the map.

    Conclusion:
    -A good foundation of stealth and great story make this an enjoyable game.    … Expand

    Had I played this on PC instead, I would have given this an 8. But this port is terrible, with significant frame skipping and low FPS. The final cutscene didn't even sync up audio correctly. The lag was that bad. By the end of the game when the complexity ramps up, these became such significant hurdles that what fun I was having turned into frustration.

    solid game. solid everything actually. I understand this is strictly a stealth game, but the lack of gameplay variety/enemies/ objectives really holds this game back. If you played half the game, you've played it all.
    Pros: Loved the artstyle for this genre, fun+useful skills, good challenge, pretty good A.I. unique gameplay. ok story.
    Cons: Borderline tedious game objectives; it's    solid game. solid everything actually. I understand this is strictly a stealth game, but the lack of gameplay variety/enemies/ objectives really holds this game back. If you played half the game, you've played it all.
    Pros: Loved the artstyle for this genre, fun+useful skills, good challenge, pretty good A.I. unique gameplay. ok story.
    Cons: Borderline tedious game objectives; it's literally rinse and repeat.. i plateaued in chapter 5..probably would've given this game a 9/10 then..but the game went somewhat downhill there for me. too repetitive.
    I also want to note this game advertises this as a play however you want(100% stealth or kill everything), but if I'm not mistaken you actually get punished by not killing anyone by getting less points, and you really don't want to go 100% stealth unless you want to go bald by pulling you hair out.    … Expand

    Answer: 75 characters is between 10 words and 19 words with spaces included in the character count. If spaces are not included in the character count, then 75 characters is between 12 words and 25 words.

    All in all, Aragami was an enjoyable twist to your classic stealth game. The gameplay was original, and the graphics and music were solid. I definitely had some minor issues with the game mechanics but nothing that would sway me from buying it. If I had to make a change in the game, I would suggest a more engaging story and a little more diversification when it comes to the enemies.

    Aragami is a satisfactory stealth game. It's not exceptional, but it has its high points. The shadow-dancing teleport mechanic is the centerpiece of the game, and it is at its best when you have large, open areas to sneak through. It's at its worst when cheap deaths or unenjoyable boss fights dominate the experience. It's a fun budget stealth game that will probably tickle the fancy of anyone who's looking for one. It might not break new ground, but sometimes, it's just fun to be a ninja, and Aragami deliveries that in spades.
