In Aragami 1 if you got spotted by an enemy guard it usually meant game over and restart, which took you out of the game and frustrated a lot of players. Can you tell us about how that’s being done in context of it being a stealth experience, and what are the biggest improvements being made to the combat? Kakurega Village acts as a resting place for players, and a way to meet and talk with the varied and strange characters inhabiting the world of Aragami 2.Īragami 2 seems to be putting a greater focus on combat than the first game. Your job as one of the remaining village warriors will be to help its citizens reclaim their memories and rebuild the village. It’s the home to a broken nation, cursed by strange affliction – a group of people clinging to what’s left of their humanity. Kakurega Village is the soul of Aragami 2’s story. What can you tell us about the hub area, and what it will bring to the table?
Enemy patrols will also take advantage from scenario elements, since guards can now climb buildings and chase after you through different obstacles. These different moods also change the way you move through these environments, as the darkness of a mining complex will offer more opportunities to stay hidden than being exposed to the sun on some rice fields. In Aragami 2, each location has a distinct mood to it, from the warm light of a mountain temple at dawn, to the dim moonlight shining on the city rooftops. What can players expect from the semi-open world areas of Aragami 2 in terms of size and their variety?Īll chapters in Aragami 1 happened at night, mostly outdoors. Since scenarios in Aragami 2 are so large, missions usually focus just on a portion of the level, which means each time you revisit a location you will discover new areas, secret paths and other details. To support this freedom of movement we have designed large and open scenarios with a lot of thought put into verticality and multiple paths to traverse the environment. In Aragami 2, your character can perform all sorts of acrobatic feats, which opens up the level tremendously. In the original game, player movement was extremely limited since you could only teleport to areas in darkness. How does this new approach impact the game in terms of things such as progression or level design? While the first game had a much more linear, focused structure, Aragami 2 looks to be approaching levels in a much more open-ended fashion.
"In Aragami 2, your character can perform all sorts of acrobatic feats, which opens up the level tremendously." You can read our conversation with Lince Works founder and game designer David León below. Recently, we reached out to the game’s developers in hopes of learning more about it and what improvements it’s making over its predecessors, and learned quite a lot in the process. There was room for improvement, of course, and with the upcoming Aragami 2, it looks like the developers are making those improvements in spades, as they look to take the solid foundations of the first game and build an even more compelling game on top of them. Lince Works’ 2016 stealth title Aragami flew under the radar somewhat when it first came out, but fans of the genre will tell you that it’s perhaps one of the most interesting stealth games to have come out over the last few years.
