Okamiden for Nintendo DS Review & Giveaway

 

“Okamiden is a picturesque action adventure game for the Nintendo DS, compatible with the new Nintendo 3DS unit or the Nintendo DS family of hand‐held systems. In Okamiden, Japanese mythology and artistic action come to life as players “paint” their way through the adventure. Utilizing a new partner system, a wolf pup named Chibiterasu joins forces with partner characters to restore color to the world in this heartwarming game. Players use the DS stylus, to wield a celestial paintbrush to attack enemies, solve Zelda‐like puzzles, paint helpful objects into life and perform feats that will change the world before players’ eyes. Beyond the battles, Chibiterasu and buddies will come to realize their inner potential and accept the kinship that comes with being the children of great heroes and gods.”

I let my 8 & 9 year old nephews test out this game.  These guys don’t go anywhere without their DS so I knew they’d be happy to give it a whirl and share with me their views on the game.  They gave Okamiden two thumbs up but did say that it couldn’t compare to their all-time fave, Pokemon.  Still, the game held their attention for hours and they showed me some of the cool tasks that had to be completed using the stylus.  Seriously, I’m going to have to borrow the game back from them because it looks fun!  One downside to the game that they mentioned was that they couldn’t both play their own games it as it didn’t have the capacity to save more than one player’s game.
