![]() Although there is no voice or text chat, I found myself in sync multiple times over several play sessions. There’s no better feeling than seamlessly working in unison to jump two enemies to take them out. Aragami 2 is fun - Aragami 2 in co-op is amazing. You can play with one or two other players, either from your friends list or in a public match up, and it’s crossplatform. Of course, customisation also comes in handy for when you play in co-op. The blueprints open up customisation options, such as swords and colours, which are entirely optional and don’t affect your abilities. If you play in co-op, it’s worth noting that everyone gets the gold you pick up - but not the other collectables. Most of it is gold - used to buy health potions and items like smoke bombs - but there are also gold statues and blueprints. One example, you’ll go from wondering what the mine looks like to having an entire mission inside that mine.Īragami 2 has a ton of stuff to collect throughout the levels. ![]() Eventually, you’ll have a mission which uses the entire level, and there is some impressive design going on. The first couple of times you visit a level, you’ll be blocked out of certain areas. I was a little wary that each area has multiple missions, but I wound up being quite impressed by the execution. There are six chapters in the game, which take place in multiple areas. You also have shuriken, smoke bombs, and various items to unlock. Improving it will allow you to see where they are going to walk to. Each upgrade can be improved once, so for instance there is one that allows you to see the route walked by enemies. You get one upgrade point for each rank you attain, though some upgrades require more than one point. You can pick up and carry enemies, whether they’re unconscious or dead, and dump them in tall grass (or chuck them over the side of hills) to hide your presence.Īiding you in your missions are a range of upgrades. If it’s a corpse, they’ll sound the alarm which makes your job harder - that same soldier will then explore the area to see if there are more bodies. If another soldier sees an unconscious ally, they will wake them up. Well, you could do all three, I suppose, but that would take extra time. You also have options for dealing with the enemies which litter each level sneak past them, knock them out, or murder them. Sneak in tall grass, become invisible in shadows, teleport a short distance to grab ledges… Each level is built to allow multiple different routes through it - do you go through the main gate, or through the broken drain? Climb along the walls or use the mesa to reach a rooftop? No longer stuck to sneaking in the shadows, now you have a full range of ninja mobility options. The biggest change in Aragami 2 is how mobile your character is. So while Aragami 2 is connected to the original, it wasn’t explicit enough for me to notice - so don’t feel like you have to play it first to understand things. By the end of the game you’ve discovered how you all came to be, and what’s been causing the gradual madness that has infected so many of your kind…Īdmittedly, while I enjoyed the first game, I don’t remember that much about it as I played it around release in 2016. By the end of the tutorial section, you’re introduced to a village full of spirit beings like yourself. When you start the game, your character awakens with low health in a pile of corpses, a spirit being who can hide in the shadows. The formula is also drastically changed, which I welcomed wholeheartedly. Or, rather, twice as much, because it’s at least twice as long. ![]() Well, Lince Works are back with Aragami 2, a sequel to the well-regarded first game, with a bit more shadow ninja action. ![]() There have been a number of third-person games where you play as a ninja over the years, including the original Aragami, which cast you as an undead assassin with shadow powers. Running along rooftops and throwing shuriken at people just never looks uncool. Like most people who were born in the 1980s, I have always been a big fan of ninjas.
