About this product

Product Information

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.<br><br>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.

OKAGE - blue disc issue solved!
My son wanted this game for Xmas and we finally found him a copy and we put it in and with whirring and grinding sounds, we got a “disc read error”. Thing is I trust Lukie Games and the game was guaranteed to work, the disc was in great condition... so we checked all of the connections, including the adapter that allows it to play on the HDTV. Nothing. Then I looked up “blue disc problems” and several posts down, only 9 mos old, was one about using two pieces of tape on the disc to get a “slipping” blue disc to work! A piece of tape above and below the central blue ring on the top of the disc (3/4” long) and the PS2 standing up on end, with the speed on the drive (in settings) changed from standard to fast, and IT WORKS BEAUTIFULLY! Not sure which of these tricks did it, or in what combination are needed, but I can say that without the tape it did not play. Once we added tape, IT WORKED! Without the tape, no. The poster said this is how he’s gotten other blue discs for the PS2 to play before and now we know, and so do you!!! The blue ones are CD-ROMS and as PS2s age they don’t spin as fast as these need. The tape does the trick. Hooray!

Tim Burtons An Okage before Shadow Kings.
I remember playing this years ago when the game first came out. I loved the Tim Burtons-esque artstyle and the strangely compelling time and turn based fighting style. The more aggravating problem however is that you must talk to nearly every npc before you can continue on with the story. That means reentering houses to see if anything changes. PROS: -Battles are turn based and have a timer. Which means if the timer fills up while an enemy is attacking, you can still have the chance to block. -Tim Burtons art stlye. You cant go wrong there. -Very long gameplay, not a game you can sit down and play in one sitting. -Interesting story and even more interesting characters. CONS: -A lot of time gets wasted. You spend time grinding and randomly talking to npcs. -Tim Burtons art style. Despite what I said the characters sometimes look more like monsters than the ones you're supposed to be fighting. All in all I would recommend this game to those who like JRPG games and cant get enough of Persona or Final Fantay.

Strange but memorable game
Arrived in great condition and on time! It’s a bit of a quirky RPG, but the unique art style and strange story stuck with me over the years.
