Don’t get me wrong, they’re no Rikimaru and Ayame, but their varying personalities do make them stand out more when compared to the titular protagonist of the main game. The fact that you can play as one of two different characters adds to the experience too, especially since they both have different outlooks on everything that’s going on around them. The story ties in well with the main game and goes into a decent amount of depth during Nightfall’s four-chapter campaign. With a battle going on against a rival guild and the constant threat of attack though, this becomes an increasingly difficult task.
That being said (and given that Aragami has been out a couple of years now), this review will focus more on the new Nightfall expansion.Īragami: Nightfall’s tale takes place before the events of the main game, with the player taking on the role of either Hyo or Shinobu – a pair of shadow assassins who’re tasked with protecting the Shadow Empress. It’s been a lot of fun too and certainly lived up to my expectations, with the intense stealth showdowns proving exciting throughout. With the release of the brand new ‘Shadow Edition’ that includes the base game and the newly released Nightfall expansion, I’ve finally had the chance to play through Aragami and get my fix of ninja action. It was a shame too – I was a huge fan of the Tenchu games, and the stealthy-ninja action of Aragami seemed to replicate it perfectly.
Aragami was one of those games that I was incredibly excited to play ahead of its release back in 2016, but ended up being included in a backlog of titles that I’d get to ‘one day’.
