The animations from each kill are varied, suitably gruesome and very satisfying. The movement is like liquid, and there is a joy in the way Aragami weaves about the level avoiding enemies or positioning himself. To recharge essence, all you need to do is remain in the shadows for a short time, the complex pattern on your scarf slowing filling to indicate the amount of charge you have available. As your powers grow, you learn to create shadow by drawing on your essence so that Aragami can traverse ground that is well-lit. Aragami can shadow step through the dark spaces, using the shadows cast by objects to quickly teleport to different locations. You begin with a rudimentary control of the shadows. It’s a simple technique, artfully done, communicating everything you need to understand what tools are at your disposal to assist you in the completion of each level. The styling of Aragami himself takes visual cues from Journey, with a scarf that indicates how much shadow essence you have, which power you currently have equipped and how many charges of that power remain at your disposal. Visually Aragami is gorgeous, with a cel-shaded, almost hand-painted quality to it, and the stealth influences are clear, with a very strong Tenchu vibe as well as more recent games like Mark of the Ninja.

As you progress through the various locations, the story, as well as who the girl is and who you were in a previous life, is told slowly through a series of flashbacks. She has called upon you to avenge the slaughter of her people by a mystical group of warriros called the Kaiho, who control the light and have entrapped her. You are Aragami, a vengeful spirit summoned by a beautiful girl named Yamiko It reminds me of Bayonetta‘s demon and angel dichotomy (which have reversed roles) in all the best ways. At the crux of his mystic look is the rune system, which shows up on his cape as a visible magic meter of sorts for dark magic, and on enemies, who utilize light magic. Kicking off with a beautiful opening salvo from artist Two Feathers, the appropriate soundtrack really gets you in the mood for some ninja action, and the titular Aragami is memorable enough to appear in other games as a guest star, Shovel Knight style. Hats off to Lince Works for a stunning presentation. BECOME ARAGAMI Fight Kaiho, the army of Light, and rescue Yamiko – the mysterious girl that summoned you and that is the key to your existence. Play as a merciless emissary of death or an undetectable ghost.
