Product Details of Otogi: Myth of Demons

Description

On a dark and gloomy bridge, suspended between the world of the living and the dead, lurks Raikoh, a skilled warrior from a cursed clan. Once tasked with ending the lives of others, Raikoh himself sits between life and death after the Great Seal was broken, spreading destruction and darkness across the land. A mysterious princess spares Raikoh's life so that he may rid the world of the grotesque demons and cleanse his soul of his past misdeeds. Raikoh must travel through desolate lands to fight hordes of fearsome, immortal creatures with 12 varieties of magic, more than 30 brutal weapons, and over 10 special demon-slaying items. Trees, walls, and even entire buildings are destroyed as Raikoh unleashes his skillful fury in order to purge both the world's demons and his own.

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: Mind-blowingly great graphics and sound, wonderful control system, lots of action, great combo attack system

Weakness: Very minor camera angles, no multiplayer

Otogi has to be one of the best looking and sounding games on the XBox, period. The graphics are extremely colorful and ineresting, which makes just looking at it worth doing. The sound is on the same top level, making it a treat for both the eyes and the ears. The control system for Otogi is done extremely well and probably one of the best for the XBox, with everything working well and...

Otogi

Strengths: Beautiful graphics, destructible environments, hack and slash gameplay

Weakness: Camera angles

Otogi is a beautiful third-person hack and slash game that oozes with style from the moment you turn on your Xbox. The graphics are absolutely gorgeous and the gameplay is just as good. The combat is regulated to a light and hard attack along with being able to cast various forms of magic. Most of the fighting takes place in aerial battles as your character can float in the air while he is...

Sword based destruction

Strengths: The small joys of being able to smash everything

Weakness: Steep learning curve, enemies can be cheap.

One of the games for the Nintendo 64, SmashCorps, was so much fun because you could destroy everything on-screen. The King of the Monster games is another that comes to mind for the same reason. Otogi is a Ninja Gaiden type game that has that same childish joy of reckless destruction. If you want to destroy the bridge you are or the house you are next to, nothing stops you. If this was all Otogi...

great game

Strengths: excellent graphics and controls

Weakness: very little

This is an under the radar type game that is really really good. Its a lot like Ninja Gaiden in many ways, another excellent game. The combo system in this game makes every encounter a blast and you can do so many cool things. The game looks absolutely beautiful and the story is a nice complement to everything else. Overall, I would highly recommend this game.

Sega Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: Graphics, combos, and action

Weakness: No Xbox Live, Camera angles, frame rate issues at times

Sega Otogi: Myth of Demons is a fun action style game that has a japanese mysticism flavor to it. There are tons of enemies to battle and basically the entire landscape is destroyable. The game gets repetitive at times and the camera angles aren't perfect, but these are minor nitpicks on a uniquely good game which can be found for a budget price.

A great game, plain and simple

Strengths: Highly underrated, cool weapons, solid gameplay

Weakness: Messy camera, bland music

The music is just bad (MORE weird techno-ninja style music???). The camera will drive you crazy before the end (unlike games such as God of War). But overall, Otogi is a very solid title, and a real fun game for fans of the action-adventure genre. You get to wade through piles of cool demons, each with their own weaknesses and attacks, and destroy them using a host of real fun weapons--sure, some...

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: Graphics, GAMEPLAY

Weakness: None really, good game

This game is actually REALLY fun. You can destroy almost anything, it's basically constant action. The gameplay is phenomenal in the fact that everything can be destroyed or killed. The controls work really well with the Xbox controller, and the graphics are above average. I would recommend this game to anyone, anytime.

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: Some of the most beautiful audio and visuals on the Xbox

Weakness: Way too difficult

Otogi for the Xbox is one of the most beautiful games to be released for the system. You play as Raikoh, an undead warrior who must vanquish the country side of demons. The action is fast and fun as you glide through the air chopping monsters and ghosts in an ancient Japanese setting. The problem I had with this game is that it is unnecessarily difficult. The reason for this is because you health...

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: 480p support, about 30 levels to play though, about 30 weapsons to use

Weakness: occasional slowdown

Otogi: Myth of Demons is an action game with top notch graphics which has a strong focus on the action with very little story or any kind of puzzles or anything that takes alot of thinking to figure out. You can dash in Otogi by hold the analog stick in the direction you want to dash and pressing the right shoulder button. your magic (which also is your life) will be depleting as you play though...

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Strengths: Fast paced, bite size missions. Looks great. Variety of enemies.

Weakness: Time Limit. Not much story.

Otogi is a great game that has a couple flaws that would have made it one of the best. It's basically a fast paced action game. There are short missions against a variety of enemies and bosses. Now, there is a back story to the game, but is seems secondary and basically an excuse to look cool in combat. I wish the story and the action was a little more cohesive. Another thing you have to get used...

Otogi - Myth of Demons

Otogi: Myth of Demons is old school. Really old-school. It's hard. Sometimes to the point of being hair-pulling, controller-throwing, take-a-hammer-to-your-TV hard. Levels WILL take multiple tries to complete and bosses WILL frustrate you to no end. But in Otogi's case, that's a great thing. It's got an awesome vibe to it that's not often seen these days. It hearkens back to the NES-era of...

Otogi: Myth of Demons (xbox)

While the Xbox certainly doesn't have a shortage of action games, what it does have is a shortage of good, non-first person action games. Seeking to fill the apparent void, Sega of America licensed Japanese developer/publisher From Software's Otogi for release in the States. Otogi isn't the second coming or anything, but it's a solid and worthwhile hack-'n-slash romp featuring some of the best...

Otogi: Myth of Demons

Although initially thrilling, Otogi never really transcends its brain-dead slice-and-dice trappings.

Otogi: Myth of Demons (xbox)

Released over half a year ago in Japan, Otogi's U.S. fate was in doubt until Sega stepped in to publish the title in North America. The From Software title underwent some minor graphic enhancements, a boost to the difficulty, and a subheading addition. With full American dubbing added as the final touch, Otogi: Myth of Demons is finally ready for the Western world. So, was it worth the wait?
