Oh, wow, what can I say about this game that has not already been said? The story, the music, the artwork, the combat system combining puzzle solving elements as well as quick reaction timing... I don't know where to start!

The story is much deeper than it first appears on the surface, the characters are all pretty cool--from the Gokon sword weilding heroine Hanabusa, to her foxy companion Komiya and all the gods in between.

The artwork is very simple but surprisingly detailed, much like the paintings created in Japan's past--not quite as epic as Okami's art, but not bad for a still picture RPG!

I love the music, though it may get repetitive for some people, as it tends to loop quite often--especially in the longer battles.

The combat is just as I described it: puzzle solving combined with split second reactions of the player to beat the living tar out of TONS of demon beasties called Tsukumogami and the forces of darkness.

The mythology of ancient Japan, artwork harkening back to the paintings of the time, a really neat combat system equals--to me--a pretty cool game! Give it a try!

One note: SAVE OFTEN! Sometimes, the game crashes in battle, completely freezing up for... I dunno, some reason I don't know of. Usually I can get it functioning by leaving it running for 10-15 minutes and not touching it, but sometimes a restart is necessary.
