![]() ![]() Taking on the role of the reawakened Amaterasu, the mythical sun goddess herself, along with some seemingly unreliable companions, this story takes you to various lands across Nippon where you must restore life back to the land and thwart the reawakened evil that terrorises the lives of those who live there once and for all. ![]() Through a series of events, a great calamity has befallen the land and plunged it into darkness. Our story takes place 100 years past this heroic act. A shrine was erected for Shiranui and the sword dubbed Tsukuyomi was placed in the cave and thus brought a new era of peace. With the curse lifted, the village was safe, but Shiranui had sadly succumbed to the beasts poison. With all his strength, Nagi separated the heads one by one and brought an end to Orochi. Refusing to give in, a crimson-dyed Shiranui unleashed a mighty howl towards the heavens, shining a light of hope upon Nagi’s sword. Claws and fangs clashed long into the night but even Shiranui’s divine powers were no match for the mysterious force that protected Orochi. Fatigued and staring death in the face, Shiranui appeared and stood ground before the evil beast to protect him. With his loves life threatened as the chosen sacrifice, Nagi travelled to the beast’s cave in her stead. One brave soul took it upon himself to challenge Shiranui but was unable to beat the wolf’s swift movements. Legend also tells of a wolf with a brilliant white coat who watched over the village, Shiranui, who was wrongfully dubbed a familiar of Orochi. ![]() Legend tells of a terrible eight-headed beast with cursed eyes that threatened the residents named Orochi, who demanded a young maiden be sacrificed at the annual festival to prolong its longevity. Once upon a time, in a faraway land lay a tiny village named Kamiki, surrounded by beautiful cherry blossoms who were honoured as a god. ? (mukashi mukashi)… Ahem! So sorry, its seems the Japanese lore this game embodies has rather influenced me so! As I was saying… Much to my own shock and disappointment, I have never had the opportunity to play Okami in the past, which as a lover of all things Japanese is quite simply shameful! Is the newly revitalised Okami HD worth this long-awaited play? By the mother of us all, YES, yes it is! Originally released back in 2006 before the sad closing of Colver Studio and again in 2012 as a HD remaster, Okami has sprung to life once again into a new generation of consoles. ![]()
