![]() ![]() ![]() Unlike A1's linear and sequenced levels, A2 brings you to a Hub after each mission where you can upgrade and select your next mission. There are options to improve this as you progress, but like much of the game it could do with more planning Dark Souls use attributes to allow you to customise your stamina use as well as various weapons etc, while A2 has almost none of this. For a ninja, Aragami has terrible cardio, doing only two dashes/rolls before gasping for breath. Speaking of stamina, A2 continues the trend popularised by Dark Souls of the dreaded stamina bar, and I rarely found it to be a welcome game mechanic. The option of direct combat is a welcome addition instead of insta-fail for being discovered/hit, but this combat is a bit luck-based when I bash an enemy with my sword, I can get the option to finish them in one blow and other times this won't happen despite stamina levels etc. What they are trying to achieve is very good, however this often also falls flat on its face, sometimes literally for the player. The gameplay of A2 has evolved, mostly for the better. The downside of this is that it all becomes painfully bland and showcases only the budget that the developers must have lacked, unlike Aragami 1 where the graphics likely had even less of a budget but capitalised on this creatively using cell-shaded approaches. Aragami 2 has taken the bewildering approach to go for slightly more realistic graphics that you would find in Dynasty Warriors. It wasn't anything particularly new but it worked well for the purposes of the game. Aragami 1 had a nice cell-shaded style that made it instantly recognisable, like the main character from Journey had become a deadly ninja. ![]() The graphics are the most obvious difference. Aragami 2 is a sequel with some very curious design choices and a decent attempt at expanding the original, but ultimately falls flat and well Aragami 2 is a sequel with some very curious design choices and a decent attempt at expanding the original, but ultimately falls flat and well into the average territory. ![]()
