Moving around has become a little more simplistic when close enough, the player can choose to shadow leap (teleport) to a ledge. When starting the game, this will be the hardest part to get through, starting out super weak with no items or skills unlocked leaves the player to sneak through levels entirely by jumping around. The skill tree really does improve gameplay and empowers the player. The abilities and leveling system were restructured requiring XP to unlock new skills in our new fancy skill tree. I understand checkpoints being removed, but removing a single player option and checkpoints takes away from the enjoyable experience the game should provide to the fans of the series. Single player sessions are only allowed if you create a private lobby and the player still can’t pause. Playing the game entirely solo takes a lot longer since the number of enemies never change based on the number of players in the lobby. Lobbies can now fit an extra player compared to the first game and the levels are massive. Checkpoints are no longer in the game unlike the first title, and the general gameplay design has been tailored towards cooperative play. This change along with maps being oversized after around 15 missions makes the game feel lacking as a single player experience. The new mission board has spaced out the missions between a dozen different areas and reuses them in future missions. There was something around 15-20 missions in the original since it included dlc levels. The mission board is new and spices up gameplay, the original Aragami focused on unique levels that were perfected. This is the main setting for the game and each mission is started by interacting with the mission board. In the second story we experience a loss of our humanity and must find it while we are trapped within a realm in Roshomon Valley. The first title focused more on light vs darkness between two factions. The premise of the original story followed Aragami ninja warriors who had powers that worked while in the darkness. The biggest change to the series was the removal of casting shadows. The Gameplay for Aragami 2 follows suit from the first game in the series and is a true stealth game at heart. Small adjustments have been made that changes gameplay significantly and I will describe these changes as thoroughly as possible for those who’ve played the original title. Both are stealth titles with third person perspective, but a lot has changed since the original game. Lince Works developed and published both of their games and their passion shows throughout these projects. I was highly anticipating this title considering how much I loved the feel for first game. Here we are three years after launch with a sequel to the game Aragami 2 made by the same developers and also published by Lince Works. This was a wonderful addition to the program considering how fun the original is.
