On the bright side, this plays more like an arcade game, in the sense that you play it more for the fun of it, rather than its deep content, or whatnot. This certainly is a fun past time, just don't go in expecting the next stealth classic. Moreover, while definitely fun, there are a couple of flaws here and there that kind of ruin the enjoyment every now and then, like how its sometimes easy to exploit the enemy, and lead them one after the other towards your arms for some quick slaying… or how its many times hard to understand what counts as a shadow - especially from a long distance, as the graphic engine renders certain elements, like "usable" shades, only after getting relatively close. Generally, Aragami is a tough nut to crack, but it never feels unfair, and provides plenty of room to experiment on, although, to be perfectly honest, the gameplay soon starts to feel somewhat repetitive, as things don't change as drastically as they should. Acting all Ninja Gaiden and stuff, is not an option, as enemies will simply insta-kill you. Either you stay out of sight and go straight to the objective, or kill everybody as silently as possible before doing so.
As the game goes on, Aragami will amass more skills, with most being tied to the shadows in one way or another skills that range between traps and diversion shades, to better offensive and defensive techniques - plus, a nifty bird which acts as a scout that lets you tag enemies. The first, and most important move, is the 'Shadow Leap,' which is basically a short distance teleport ability that lets him insta-travel between dark spots in a level - both horizontally and vertically. There's a story behind that mysterious protagonist, and one that will be decently told throughout this quest, but, for the most part, this is, more than anything else, a stealth game, with the main mechanics revolving around - what else? - shadows! What exactly is… 'you?' Think of Aragami as a spirit of vengeance (but in Ninja form), and one that draws his powers from the actual shadows of the world.
You are the titular Aragami, and must help a young woman escape from the clutches of a certain clan.
