The Switch’s motion controls are hit and miss. You can also power these up along your journey so it’s nice to be able to mix and match to see what suits your play style.Īs stated earlier, when Okami was ported to the Wii back in 2008 it utilized the Wiimote’s motion controls to mixed reviews (the controls, the game itself was still well received). The primary weapon is typically a straight up melee attack while equipping them as secondary weapons can have various effects such as a rapid fire attack or a shield. You also have other items to help you out in combat such as Reflectors that you can equip as primary or secondary weapons. Throughout the game you’ll come across some incomplete constellations up in the sky and you’ll use the brush to complete them, thus earning you new types of brush strokes and, along with it, new abilities to help rid the land of darkness. The main mechanic of the game is the Celestial Brush which you can use not only in combat to help defeat enemies, but also while out in the field to repair broken bridges, create lily pads in the water, draw a sun in the sky to shine light on various darkened objects, and more. Sakuya, he guardian of Kamiki Village, summons forth the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, known to the villagers as the reincarnation of Shiranui, and asks her and the tiny artist Issun to remove the curse and restore the land to what it once was. Now one hundred years later, Nagi’s descendant Susano, the self-proclaimed “greatest warrior”, refuses to believe the story about Nagi and releases Orochi who then curses the land, draining all of the life and color from it. However, a white wolf named Shiranui and the swordsman Nagi would defeated the beast known as Orochi and protect the tiny village of Kamiki.

Two years later the game was released for the Nintendo Wii which, again, received positive reviews outside of the motion controls for the brush which was said to have received mixed responses. When Okami it came out in 2006 on the PlayStation 2, it was met with critical acclaim, and between the cel-shaded art style and the unique Celestial Brush mechanic it’s not hard to see why.
