It certainly evokes classic stealth action games, but the plethora of skills available to you becomes almost redundant as you unlock your preferred items and then zone out. I wish I had more to say, but the game doesn’t leave much of an impression after a while. It’s generally just a bit unpolished, though the relatively quick restarts and short levels mean bugs won’t cost you a tremendous amount of time.Īpart from that, Aragami 2 is simply fine. General animation glitches also occur where you’ll grab someone from behind a fence, yet their body goes flying through the air into the room you’re trying to avoid. I also ran into situations where I would aerial takedown a foe, but then be unable to hide their body. You can drag bodies to hide them from other foes and with the game allowing you to jump while holding a body, it’s not hard to find the perfect spot. Since I hadn’t yet unlocked items like the shurikens or smoke bombs, I typically jumped above enemies and did an aerial takedown. When you unlock some abilities later in the game, you’ll start to notice lanterns that can be weaponized against your foes.Įver the pacifist, I decided against killing anyone for the beginning of the game. It’s essentially the same as Batman’s “Detective Vision” from the recent Arkham games, highlighting items in the environment that might be useful for you. You can call on an ability dubbed “Shadow Vision” that allows you to spot enemies through walls. In an interesting touch, there are no objective markers during missions. The first mission has you collecting some items for the villagers, so it’s not exactly tough right off the bat. You can attempt to completely avoid enemies, subdue them, or outright kill everyone to achieve your goal. Enemies work with cones of vision and through line-of-sight, so sticking to dark corners is the way to go. Without access to many of the skills, you have to rely on a rather simplistic stealth experience. The times where I teleported onto a roof, stealth-killed a guard, and teleported away again without anyone hearing me are overshadowed by the times I tried to teleport onto a wooden beam I had been on plenty of times before, but bounced off the side instead, and fell into an enemy’s line of sight.The first few missions I tackled were rather basic in scale. Creating pools of shadow to jump to is a fun way to explore the level, but it only works about half of the time. Teleportation in this game is still great, but flawed. There were a few other issues similar to this, one which is the glaring issue with teleporting I mentioned earlier. One of the newer Techniques is an explosive kunai, which gives you fresh way to kill off a few guards, but I was disappointed to find out that detonating the mini bomb, and shaking the very foundations of the building, wasn’t enough to stop the two guards I was trying to distract from staring longingly into each other’s eyes. However, it seems some of the previously unlockable skills from Aragami are just regular skills you can use off-the-bat in Nightfall. You’re limited to these 4 Shadow Techniques and have no way to upgrade/unlock more. The opening act for Nightfall’s story throws you into the action after a quick tutorial and introduces three new Shadow Techniques, and one old, to try out immediately.
