Conquer your demons and you may conquer the world in this distinctly styled role-playing adventure for the PlayStation 2. Some have compared the look of this game to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and the fluid, stop-motion appearance of the three-dimensional characters is not completely unlike that seen in seasonal television specials. OKAGE: Shadow King is not a holiday story, however, but a dark tale of polar opposites that questions basic notions of identity and essence.

Players take the role of Ari, a young man with a remarkable affliction. A powerful demon -- calling himself "Stan" -- has taken refuge in Ari's shadow and is becoming infused in the boy's life. To free both his demon and himself, Ari embarks on a dangerous and involved quest to rid the world of seven other rival demons. Though he suffers under the burden of playing host to Stan, Ari is also aided from time to time by his demon's powers and the two begin to forge a symbiotic relationship.

Featuring a mesmerizing storyline with six uniquely amusing characters, OKAGE: Shadow King takes full advantage of the PlayStation 2. Combining traditional role-playing elements with action-packed, dramatic real-time battle sequences, strategic gameplay and puzzle solving, OKAGE puts gamers in the role of Ari, a young innocent boy summoned to embark on a mystical quest. When Stan, the spirit of an evil king, is unleashed, Ari must relinquish his shadow to the demon and accompany him on a mission to destroy all the other demons in the world, thus restoring Stan's power. Once underway, players should experience hundreds of different kinds of attacks, spells, and weapons with more than a 150 different items to collect.

Features:
* A great story.
* awesome characters.
* tons of gameplay.
* 3D graphics.
* single-player action
