Posted by: Aaron Lockard on September 20, 2006 1:19:21 PM
Capcom, a powerhouse in the multi-billion dollar video game industry,
today released kami, a new innovative action adventure game for the
PS2. Ã"kami tells the story of a
mythical sun god who sets out to restore a dismal world, decimating the
forces of evil who stand in the way by commanding the elements and
mythical abilities the deity possesses. Mixing Japanese folklore and a
stunning traditional Japanese art style, players must utilize an
inventive control scheme to overcome the challenges and evil that
awaits. Ã"kami is the brainchild of Capcom's Clover Studio which is
renowned for such ground-breaking and critically acclaimed titles
including the Steel Battalion and Viewtiful Joe series. Ã"kami's
addictive and mesmerizing gameplayis now available at retailers across
North America and carries an "T" rating for teen audiences by the ESRB
(Entertainment Software Rating Board).
In Ã"kami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a wasteland. To restore the earth's natural order and beauty, players assume the role of wolf-embodied sun god Amaterasu and participate in numerous action packed battles against the ominous beings they encounter. However, conquering these impending enemies is no small feat. Amaterasu will travel through different regions of the world to regain her "Celestial Brush" powers, all the while revitalizing everything in her path. Using an innovative control scheme, gamers can slash away at enemies, use various brush strokes to solve puzzles, create pathways, chop down trees or turn night into day. The real-time fighting system not only involves assorted brush techniques, but also myriad of specials attacks typically not associated with the physical prowess of a normal wolf.
Featuring a visually stunning art style, kami comes alive through beautiful scenic 3D levels that have the appearance and texture of paper scrolls brushed with watercolor-like calligraphy art. Throughout the vibrant and distinctive surroundings,players must also interact with a dynamic cast of characters, building their faith to uncover clues and hints. The blend of stylized graphics and unique gameplay will result in a rich and dynamic experience never seen before.
