If you ever thought it odd that two CGI kids movies about talking ants could come out at the same time, followed by two about talking fish, consider the odds of two video games coming out within months of each other which involve controlling a wolf in a Legend of Zelda style game world. The real-time fighting system not only involves biting and ramming strikes, but also allows for various attacks using the bronze mirror of Yata on its back as well as a host of other unique abilities. Defeating the creatures that Amaterasu encounters will not be a small feat. As gamers lead Amaterasu through diverse environments, they will come across extraordinary monsters that originated from Japanese folklore. Rooted in the third person perspective, gamers will need to interact with the people they encounter, building their faith by clandestinely answering their prayers and wishes. As players progress through the game, they will travel to different regions in search of the other godly embodiments that are hidden, and regain Amaterasu's powers. As a god in the form of a wolf, Amaterasu must reclaim its powers that are scattered throughout the earth, in order to help restore the land to its former beauty. Traditional Japanese art comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolour-like calligraphy art. It is crucial to help Amaterasu make the world a place where all living creatures can dwell once again.
The state of the world lies in gamer's hands as they must fight ominous beings and reclaim the earth from a curse that plagues it. Players must assume the role of a wolf, an embodiment of the sun god Amaterasu, capable of wielding unimaginable power. In Okami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a veritable wasteland. Okami is the brainchild of Capcom's Clover Studio which is renowned for such innovative and critically acclaimed titles such as Steel Battalion and Viewtiful Joe series.
Mixing Japanese folklore and a stunning traditional Japanese art style, Okami tells the story of a mythical sun god who sets out to restore a world to its former beauty and glory.
