Players praise Aragami for its pure stealth focus and shadow-teleport mechanics. [1][2][3] Some reviewers note the game has bugs, janky animations, and repetitive levels. [4][5][6] A few players dislike the checkpoint-only save system and weak story. [7][8][6]

The thumbs down is conditional. It is because the game uses checkpoints instead of allowing you to save. That means you can almost clear a map before dying and have to do it all over again. It's difficult to stress how much I hate that. I really, really hate that. I don't know why any developer would choose that route. If I had known that previous to buying it I probably wouldn't have. With that said, if the idea of …

Aragami is one of those games that really commits to stealth, and that’s honestly its biggest strength. Instead of giving you the option to go loud, it basically forces you to think, plan, and move carefully through shadows. The shadow powers, like teleporting between dark spots, feel super satisfying and give you a lot of freedom in how you approach each level. - Visually, the game also stands out. It has this …

A stealth game that actually respects stealth. If you miss the days of Tenchu: Stealth Assassins, when being unseen mattered more than body counts or combo meters, Aragami is your homecoming. This isn’t a flashy, hand-holding “stealth-lite” experience — it’s slow, deliberate, and incredibly satisfying. You study patrols, shape shadows, and move like smoke. Every mistake feels earned, and every perfect run feels …

Good fun and not as hardcore as other stealth-centered games (Thief). Cool cutscenes, jank animations, but splendid gameplay, albeit a bit buggy at times. Excellent for co-op, sadly custom missions does not seem to work with multiplayer. RIP Lince Works, too pure for a Highguard-world.

Aragami. Some games impress you. Some games entertain you. And some games teach you how to actually play them. Aragami is that last one. At first, it looks like a stylish indie stealth game: ninjas, shadows, teleportation. Cool aesthetics, interesting concept. But the more time you spend with it, the clearer it becomes that Aragami is doing something rarer than style: it fully commits to stealth as its core …

Players who liked Aragami talk about stealth is the core identity, not an option; those who didn't talk about bugs and janky animations interfere with gameplay. Which matters more to you?

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Disclaimer: I measure my enjoyment of a stealth game by how much it allows me to go undetected with as little contact with the enemies as possible, however I will consider other playstyles as well. Visually this game is dated, but the architecture and general environments I do consider to be iconic. It is clearly feudal Japan inspired, but has just enough uniqueness to it in it's colours and shapes, that you will remember it as Aragami. Mechanically although i can be janky at times, the…

neutral · AI labelView post →While Aragami had a lot of fun ideas, it could have used a little bit more polish around the edges. Many of the abilities aren’t balanced well, and the enemy placements seem lazy. There’s 13 mediocre chapters, and perhaps it would be better with 6 ones that had a lot more thought and care put into them. The story isn't really interesting, and there’s nothing super unique about this game art direction wise. There’s a scoring system, which is meant to encourage repeating levels, but each level is…

It was reminding me of multiple different games (a little bit of Metal Gear, a sprinkling of Shadow Tactics, a bit of Thief). I also love the premise. It's fun playing as someone else's summon. There are a million RPG's where conjuration magic is a thing and I've often wondered what it'd be like to play as the summon rather than as the main character. Basically, a girl summons you to break…

It‘s still a servicable stealth game, but you can probably find better games for that itch if you look around. On my own, I‘d like to finish Marsupilami. It‘s a neat little colorful platformer that I‘d say is perfect for children. It‘s pretty easy and short but the last couple levels are more challenging.

Interesting lore and story, especially loved the ending. The gameplay is mostly warping by the shadows to move around and avoid/kill enemies, which is pretty non-typical. Also, there are plenty of useful active skills and some of them are quite overpowered. Since they're all locked from the start and tied to collectible scrolls, first few chapters are…
