There’s even a new power that takes on a new functionality while doing so. Of course, Nightfall can also be enjoyed in co-op, just like the base game. My favourite has to be the Exploding Kunai, which enables you to take out a group of enemies if used effectively, but there’s also the Shadow Grenade and Kage a skill that allows you to quickly disappear for a short while. It has a new narrative which will please those itching to fill in the gaps, but more importantly it also features some new powers to make use of. Taking around four hours to complete, Nightfall offers more of the same for fans of Arigami.
Whichever you choose, the gameplay remains the same, but that’s no bad thing when you’re already afforded a great deal of freedom to play your own way. Set before the events of the original game, you’re given a choice of two characters to play as: Hyo or Shinobu. Let’s move onto the expansion, Nightfall. More of the sameĪnyway, enough about performance it’s not perfect, but it’s certainly not something that should deter you from playing Aragami. You can turn v-sync and anti-aliasing on and off to suit your preferences, though without the former turned on you might encounter some screen tearing. Those not playing on mid-generation console refreshes may be thankful for the couple of graphical options that can be used to tweak performance. It can be irritating, but the slow pace of the game means that it’s rarely an issue. The game does frequently freeze for fractions of a second though, presumably while it’s loading new parts of the environment. Playing on Xbox One X, my time with Aragami: Shadow Edition has largely been silky smooth.
One of those was inconsistent performance, but players will be happy to find that with the arrival of Aragami: Shadow Edition it has been improved. Essentially we thought it was a great action stealth game marred by a few issues. We reviewed Aragami upon its original release you can read what we thought about it here.
While it’s the first time that the game has been available on Xbox One, those who have already purchased the original Aragami on PS4 or PC are able to pick up Nightfall separately. Expanded and enhancedĪvailable on Xbox One, PS4 and PC, Aragami: Shadow Edition includes the base game and the new four-chapter expansion Nightfall. And now there’s an expanded version of it available which includes performance tweaks and new content. Released nearly 2 years ago now, its debut title Aragami was a little rough around the edges but otherwise an accomplished stealth ’em up. You don’t see too many of them anymore due to the genre undergoing some changes in recent years, but developer Linceworks is keeping the classic formula alive.
