She is the key to bringing you back to life, and also the key to figuring out your past. Some performance issues and technical faux pas still affect the game, but it’s overall a much more engaging experience than it was back in 2016 and worth giving a go if you’re at all a fan of classic stealth games.As Aragami, you will take on the role of an undead assassin who was bought back to life by Yamiko a mysterious girl that is imprisoned by Kaiyo, the army of light. It’s a fun addition that helps add a little replayability to the game and could go a long way for some people.Īragami: Nightfall adds a wealth of new missions and stories to Aragami that are worth checking out if you missed the game the first time around, and doubly worth checking out if you never picked it up at all. Completing challenges or milestones will let you unlock alternate colors or costumes for the protagonist to equip, and you can use them in singleplayer or in co-op multiplayer. If you haven’t checked in with Aragami since launch, another cool addition that made it’s way to the game some time ago were unlockable skins for the base game. They weren’t as bad as the issues during my initial playthrough of the base game, but there were still countless times that the action on screen would stutter and stop for seemingly no reason.
ARAGAMI NIGHTFALL MULTIPLAYER PATCH
Now, while the latest patch notes for Aragami tout the fact that performance is improved across the board and framerate should stay be “averaging 40-60 fps on PS4”, I still ran into my fair share of hitches and slowdowns while I was playing the Nightfall campaign. Finally, Twin Shadow is an addictive shadow power that lets you target any enemy within your sight and then call your partner in with a tap of the button, teleporting them to instantly take out your foe. You can throw Shadow Grenades to blind groups of enemies, or take a more offensive route with explosive kunai that drop their initial target and then detonate to take even more enemies with them. I had a lot more fun following their adventures thanks in part to the surprising depth of their characters, and the wide variety of mission objectives I had to follow throughout the campaign.Ī lot of that fun also came from the new shadow abilities that Nightfall’s protagonists have at their disposal. Hyo and Shinobu alone possess a lot more personality than anyone in the original story had, your silent shadowy protagonist included.
