Video Review - Sumioni: Demon Arts

It looks like the love child of Okami and Outlander, and it would seem that the dominant genes are unfortunately Outlander's. Swing 'n' a miss!

I think the visuals alone are worth 5.5.

this is why you need to have a compelling story that also weaves exposition into it so that not only do you care about what's going on, but new mechanics and abilities get introduced gradually as the challenge increases.

@Inferno16 - The creators of Okami had nothing to do with this game. The art director went to Ignition Software to work on El Shaddai. The game's director, Hideki Kamiya, is one of the prominent members of Platinum Games and brought us Bayonetta.

Omg, a 5.5 from okami's creators? O.o

Looks like a regular iphone or android game with $1 price tag. OK

Too bad game looked like it had potential

Hmm... Seems it could have been much better with more focus on gameplay pace and storytelling. Who knows? Maybe I'll buy it on sale.

Looks repetitive from just the review.

too bad its 20 dollars, i would definitely buy it for 10 and perhaps even 15, i am still interested in it. if nothing else it looks pretty refreshing just wish they had used more vocal story telling instead of text like that.

Yeah when I saw the video preview a month back, it seemed like it was going to get redundant fast.

It seems like pausing the game to swipe in gestures would really take away from the action and tight play control that many people enjoy in side-scrolling platformers.

No graphics is not everything but Call of Duty is, I guess..

The moment you hear Tom's voice you can? safely assume the game got a low score.

Anyone who wants to try the Demo its on the Japanese PSN Store.

When is it going to be worth buying a Vita?

Hummm...I want to play this game o.o

Okami is disappointed... :(

Yeah this game really didn't look fun to me. Shame given it's awesome art style.

those are some pretty nifty graphics. Too bad graphics aren't everything.
