Plot [link]

The game's protagonist Raikoh Minamoto (based on Minamoto no Yorimitsu) was born into a clan of executioners under the emperor's command. Raikoh was given the order to kill his own father. He couldn't bring himself to do it, so he stole Soul Shrine, his clan's ancestral sword, and fled the capital city of Kyoto. Upon his departure the seal separating the demon and human worlds was broken. Kyoto was all but leveled and a wave of demons appeared. Raikoh was almost killed by the flood of darkness, but a princess banished to the netherworld saved him and held him in a state between life and death. The princess gave him a new body in exchange for his services. She would allow him to repent for his sins as an assassin by saving the world from the demons unleashed upon it.Raikoh begins his quest to restore the seal and stop the one responsible for its collapse.

Gameplay [link]

Otogi boasted a number of notable features including destructible environments (for which the game awards the player) and an unusually high level count for a 3D action game (29 stages).

Reception [link]

Otogi was a surprising release, coming out of nowhere with strong creativity and originality from a development team that has been primarily known mostly for the Armored Core series.[citation needed]. On release, Famitsu magazine scored the game a 31 out of 40.[1] Otogi holds a rating of 8.4 at GameSpot, the reviewer praised the game for its production values and stunning visual graphics.[2] Criticisms of the game stem from its reuse of some level designs and slight frame rate slowdown.

    Archangels In Black

    by: Adagio

    Archangels In Black
    The sun is dying day by day
    After the rain, before the pain
    Dead legions storming on the way
    To the war, Roar to better slay
    I can barely see the end
    May the angels look for me
    The Armageddon legacy
    And if I see the stars above
    Then I will cross my arms in peace
    Be with me, at my side
    Don't leave me take me away
    Masses are coming from the north
    The undead smiles behave with pride
    Now hords of doom announce the end
    I'll meet you some day farwell
    I can barely see the end
    May the angels look for me
    The Armageddon legacy
    And if I see the stars above
    Then I will cross my arms in peace
    Be with me, at my side
    Don't leave me take me away
    And if the sun cries forever
    Then I will mourn those glorious days
    Be with me, at my side
