    Overall, the game comes in as a previous release that was ported to the Nintendo Switch, and it is a very well made stealth game. Releasing on February 21, 2019, the price of the game is set on the Nintendo store at $29.99 USD. The download itself isn’t that big so you won’t have to worry about removing anything from your system unless you are without a memory card and already full to the system specs. Have fun with this one but be careful when trying to make your way through each level.

    A beautiful stealth game, which combines great design and music elements. Switch version is identical to PS4, Xbox One and PC, which means it also has some A.I. problems, some levels feel too similar,

    Aragami: Shadow Edition is a welcome addition to any Switch owner's library thanks to the great gameplay opportunities it offers, as well as the DLC included in the package. You get to move around the environment undetected, or go all out and kill your enemies in so many ways it is almost impossible to keep count. However, if you want to experience the game in all of its visual majesty, you should greatly consider buying it on any of the other available platforms because, at least from a visual point of view, the Switch version seems like a shadow of its former self (pun intended).

    Aragami: Shadow Edition is a title with a beautiful artistic design that will test our patience and reflexes to clear some levels. Its cooperative mode and replayability make it a highly recommended title for any fan of the genre.

    The end result is still a fun, generally good-looking game that doesn’t just feel like an unnecessary retread of past ideas, and as such it’s definitely worth at least a consideration for anyone interested in a stealthy experience.

    With its methodical, unforgiving gameplay, Aragami: Shadow Edition is not for everyone. However, it doesn’t try to be. It’s aimed squarely at the Tenchu crowd, with whom it should be a hit. If you’re a younger gamer who’s never tried a true stealth game, Aragami is a great place to start.

    Aragami: Stealth Edition sneaks its way on the the Switch, and if you’re like me and you missed it three years ago, it’s worth a look if you’re into the stealth action genre. It was never a ground-breaking game per se, but it is well put together and worth checking out.

    An interesting game that doesn't wants to be 2019's GOTY but manages to entertain with its stealth/puzzles proposal.

    A thoroughly enjoyable stealth game. As you move through the levels, you need to plan where you move and how you dispatch your enemies.

    On a side note. I find it amusing when people down vote a game for being what it is. "I didn't enjoy this stealth game because there was too much stealth". Or "don't buy this game if you're looking for a completely different kind of game"    … Full Review »

    This game looks ok on my switch OLED but I’ve had indie games 1/10th of the price and looked and played better (more in-depth mechanics & better implemented art direction similar to this game).

    The gameplay is very boring in that there’s no dynamic combat as it’s pure stealth-based with attack = sneaking up to enemies press a button. This pretty much sums up the game.    … Full Review »

    Mais je peux pas lui mettre une bonne note avec un portage dégueulasse comme ça... La Switch est capable de bien mieux : là on a un jeu avec une définition et des graphismes mauvais, et le jeu arrive quand-même à ramer. C'est rageant

    Quand je dis mauvais graphismes, c'est techniquement. Parce qu'en soi la direction artistique est pas mal du tout je trouve, l'ambiance du jeu est bonne. C'est techniquement que ça déconne.

    En résumé : bon jeu, mauvais portage    … Full Review »
