![]() Somewhere over the next five years, Capcom picked up the franchise and decided to make a sequel! I’m not really sure how this came about, but I’m glad it did. Needless to say, Ammy managed to defeat pretty much all the evil ever, delivering Nippon into a new age of peace and prosperity. It was one of those times when I found myself standing at my TV, shouting “what? WHAT?” at the screen until it somehow made more sense. These are just some of the abilities the Okami wolves have at their disposal. ![]() Drawing a circle in the sky can make the sun shine. These powers are activated by drawing on the screen with the aid of the celestial brush, which seems like it would be pretty unweildy on PS2, but it actually fit very well.ĭrawing a circle on a tree will cause it to come into bloom, drawing a line from a source of water will cause water to stream out to another source. These powers are bestowed to her by other animal spirits of the brush, and essentially give Amaterasu the power to light fires, chop through trees and rocks, make huge gusts of wind blow, create explosives, and much more. Together with the bug-like Issun, the Amaterasu traveled from location to location, solving puzzles and traveling through time with the help of her celestial brush abilities. The original Okami’s main character was Amaterasu (or Ammy to her friends), a resurrected sun goddess who takes the form of a wolf when walking among mankind on Nippon. I’m going to go out on a limb here and guess that none of you have actually played Okami, what with how Clover Studios went bankrupt and all, and give you a brief run down. As a result, I don’t think Okami really got the press coverage that it should have. The original Okami was released by Clover Studios way back when, who managed to release one of the most innovative games of the time before going completely belly up. What I got instead was a nice companion piece to the original adventures of Amaterasu and Issun the gradually evolves into a deep, touching piece about (several) children and their struggle against the forces of darkness. You remember Okami, don’t you? Of course you don’t.Īfter a five-year gap since the last time I had a chance to play as a young wolf/sun god banishing evil from the land of Nippon, I was concerned that this sequel wouldn’t be able to do the grand Playstation 2 tale justice. The original game, which appeared on the Playstation 2 way back in the misty bygone year of 2006, was one of the best games of that console generation. ![]() As is usually the case when it comes to sequels to great games, I was very apprehensive when I picked up Okamiden for the Nintendo DS. ![]()
