  • Evil King Stan Steals the Show in Okage: Shadow King

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Oct 8, 2003
    Pros: Funny story.
    Cons: Dumbed down gameplay and mechanics.

    Summary: Author’s Note: This review was originally written in 2001, hence all the references that seem at least somewhat outdated. If I were an ambitious man, I’d go through and fix them all for a 2003 audience—but since I’m not, this disclaimer will have to su ... read more

  • Okage: Simplistic Fun

    Rated a Somewhat Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Jul 25, 2008
    Pros: Characters, humor, simplicity
    Cons: No voices, graphics

    Summary: Lately, we see the turn-based RPG era dying. But every now and then we get a new game that has the simple, dragon warrior type battle system a lot of us enjoy. This is one of them. The enemies appear on the map, and contact with them initiates battle. ... read more

    Pros: Filled with gut destroying humor, fantastic soundtrack
    Cons: Camera angles, dungeons are a nightmare

    Summary: I rented Okage:Shadow King thinking it would be a cool little game. Then I ended up buying it not too long after in order to finish it and it now among my top 5 favorite RPG's. Story: You start as Ani, simalar to Link in that he never speaks for ... read more

  • Okage: Shadow King: Are Typical, Predictable RPGs So Bad?

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Aug 5, 2005
    Pros: Truly humorous story, interesting characters, excellent design
    Cons: Predictable RPG gameplay, nothing new, average graphics even when produced.

    Summary: Overall: 6 Gameplay: 7 Graphics: 7 Sound: 6 Concept: 6 Replay Value: 6 It's fair to say that the PS2 is an RPG console. The sheer quantity of RPG titles available is mind boggling, even when you look past the numerous Final Fantasy ... read more

  • OKAGE: THE SHADOW KING - NO, I AM THE "REAL" EVIL KING

    Rated a Very Helpful Review by the Epinions community
    Nov 4, 2003
    Pros: Funny, fun
    Cons: Could have looked nicer, dungeons boring at times.

    Summary: OKAGE : SHADOW KING I remember this being one of the PLAYSTATION 2’s first RPG’s. I was really psyched to play this game, hoping that it would fill my RPG hunger until FINAL FANTASY 10 came out. I believe I first saw an ad for the game in a GAMEPRO MA ... read more

    Summary: You walk into your nearest video game store. There it is! The Playstation 2 display! Hmm, Okage: Shadow King... never heard of it... oh well! You hand the clerk your money and are happily on your way. You go home and open it up and load into your PS2 to ... read more

  • Okage: Break on through to the other side

    Dec 27, 2002
    Pros: original plot, Madril, Stan is cool
    Cons: boring and repetitive dungeons, huge flaw in combat system

    Summary: It's a shame when a game like Me and Satan King (Okage's original Japanese name) gets massacred before seeing a stateside release. This has happened with excellent games like Dragon Warrior VII and now Okage, an already flawed game that could've been ... read more

    Cons: it had one of those boy falls in love with princess things.

    Summary: ART WORK: couldn't have been better it was SD out of proportion but I loved it. It was so dark yet with a twist like a nightmare before christmas. It was cute chibi dudes running around and killing stuff. Some time I found it alittle scary in the night ... read more

    Pros: Great artwork, challenging, quirky
    Cons: The story's end feels rushed, shared magic points, simplistic battles

    Summary: To be quite honest, there were very few games worth sticking around and playing at the 2001 edition of the Electronic Entertainment Expo. One, almost neglected in Sony's sprawling booth, was Okage, the story of a boy and his evil, tyrannical overlord. ... read more

    Pros: Fun. Clean. Bright.
    Cons: Slightly childish

    Summary: For someone who like to solve puzzles and riddles, this is a great game. Playing this game is like reading along to some sort of twisted nursery ryhm. The main character is a child who is "haunted" by an ancient evil shadow king. The goal is ... read more
