Okage: The shadow King

 
Have you played?
 
I was curious and I wanted to ask this forum wise but hell I got a blog, so I figured why not.
 
Now I haven't beaten many RPGs (not traditional turn base anyway *fail*) But I DID finish this enjoyable little game. it's Tim Burton style and quirkiness kept me going till the very end. This was before I every played Persona 3, and I really almost passed this little gem up because It didn't look like it would be interesting for me when it was at WalMart. But my sister picked it up and now I feel bad that I scoffed at her for getting it cause I REALLY enjoyed it.

If you have played this game gimme a little feedback, cause I hardly know ANYONE who's played it or even HERD of Okage but it would be great to see a few people who did get their hands on this game, and saw past the cover. (unlike myself) And gave this game a little go.
 
it took me watching my sister play before I tried my hand (till this day she's only finished a quarter of the game XD) and enjoyed it enough to try and buy this game off of her for my own personal collection.

Oddly enough I actually own this game from around the time it came out. I, however, have not actually played more than perhaps 20 minutes or so of it. Though, don't get me wrong, it's been far too many years for me to recall whether I had any issues with it, but perhaps I should pop it in again one of these days. I definitely can see the Tim Burton vibe, too.

Own it, and have played a few hours of it. I keep trying to get back into it, but I seem to remember getting stuck at the same point each time. I was really enjoying the humor and art of the game, though the gameplay leaves a good amount to be desired unfortunately.

I've definitely been curious about it since I ran into a copy of it while living in Tokyo (good box art can do wonders to get me notice something I've never heard of), but I still have yet to actually pick up a copy. My favorite RPGs are usually the ones with more quirky personalities, though, so I might just have to give this a shot at some point. My PS2 still gets quite a bit of love these days, after all.

I know it's a far from perfect but it was enjoyable experience. You should try again, load a new game and give it a go?

The gameplay isn't great but the story and the character's is what made the game for me, even the animation for character swings I found interesting.

Go for and and tell me what you think of it? it's gotta be darn cheap by now.

My all time fav RPG and fav video game soundtrack. Easily.

Though I don't know anyone other than myself that has actually finished it, let alone play more than a hour of it.

I love the interaction of the characters and the story in this game. I spent quite a bit of time in it, but I never finished it, for no fault of the game. Maybe one day I'll try to get back in to it.
