My notes...

Okay...I put a blog about this, with the recommendation that I should have, and...I kinda messed up there. Very, very sorry. -.-;;

So, I'd thought I'd say something about it, since nobody is knowing what the heck my avatar and signature was from. Which happens to be the game, Okage: Shadow King, otherwise known as Boku To Mao in Japan.

But, has anybody played this game? If not, then has anybody heard of it? Its a pretty unpopular game, but it is good...

Sell me on it. I saw it for 5 dollars at a local store, but I had no idea what it played like.

The gameplay is awesome. Its the battle mode that is tricky.

You can either like it, or dislike it. How you like it actully depends on how much effort you put into the battles. If you don't take advantage of the whole system, then you're gonna wind up acidentally killing the main character, Ari, which winds up in a game over. How you take advantage of it, one hint- whether you attack the strong enemy, or the weak one, and if you take full notice of the charging bars that determine when you can move. Also beware of your enemies' charging bars. Once got a game over on it, because I didn't memorize when my enemies were gonna move. ^^;

Also a bit tricky with the puzzles, though. They're an even bigger pain to deal with...Especially the library. That's all I'm gonna say. BEWARE OF THE LIBRARY!

Ah...I apoligize for that. I'm not use to game topics having to have the info like that, but I just updated it. I'll read the rules more carefully, and I sincerly apoligize.
