In Okami, the legendary monster Orochi has come back to life and turned the world into a veritable wasteland. Players must assume the role of a wolf, an embodiment of the sun god Amaterasu, capable of wielding unimaginable power. The state of the world lies in gamer's hands as they must fight ominous beings and reclaim the earth from a curse that plagues it. It is crucial to help Amaterasu make the world a place where all living creatures can dwell once again. Bringing life back to the world involves defeating lots of beasts. With each beast you defeat, the world's life force is restored just a bit, with colours and eventually people appearing.
The biggest drawcard of this game is the rich, stylised 3D graphics reminiscent of traditional Japanese art created on paper scrolls producing a large variety of stages with a watercolour-esque appearance, which is evident throughout these new screens.
Okami is slated for a Japanese release on the 20th of April, May for US, which means that PAL probably won’t be seeing this title for a while. Until then, enjoy the screenshots.
