The result was (literally “Child of Ōkami”), released in 2011 in the West. Does this “mini-sequel” live up to the original’s divine legacy? Let’s break it down. What is Okamiden? Ōkamiden is a direct story sequel to the original Ōkami . You no longer play as the sun goddess Amaterasu (the white wolf). Instead, you control Chibiterasu —a small, adorable puppy sun god born after Amaterasu saved the world.
Ōkamiden is not Ōkami 2 —it’s a beautiful, loving sketch of one. If you go in expecting a scaled-down, heartfelt handheld adventure with clever touch controls, you will love it. If you demand the original’s scope and technical polish, you’ll be disappointed. okamiden nds
