Developed by Capcom, Ōkamiden arrived on the Nintendo DS in 2010 as an action-adventure game.

It landed about 6 years into the DS's life. Other notable DS releases from 2010 include Dragon Quest IX, Golden Sun: Dark Dawn and Harvest Moon: The Tale of Two Towns. Among the 153 DS action-adventure games in our database, it ranks #10 by legacy score.

It is part of the Okami series. Capcom also made Ace Attorney Investigations 2: Prosecutor's Gambit, Mega Man Star Force and Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney for the DS.

This is a solo experience: one player, no waiting on anyone else.

Pick it if…

  • you want to get lost in a long quest
  • you have time for a weekend project (roughly 6–20 hours)
  • you want to experience one of the DS's defining games

Maybe skip it if…

  • you want a game you can finish in one short session
  • you are looking for something to play with friends

What playing Ōkamiden is like

Action-adventures blend real-time combat with exploration, puzzles and item collection. You open up a larger world gradually as new tools let you reach places you couldn't before.

Tip for newcomers: Keep a mental (or paper) map of locked doors and unreachable ledges; most action-adventures expect you to come back once you find the right item.
