Much of Εkamiden's story centers around the children of previous characters from Εkami and their adventures and the relationships that form through the game's story, according to producer Motohide Eshiro. The game takes place nine months after the events of Εkami. In spite of Amaterasu's battle against the Dark Lord Yami, which would kill all the demons in Nippon, they return. The Konohana Sprite Sakuya, a character from the original Εkami, summons the Sun Goddess Amaterasu, but instead finds Chibiterasu, who looks like a young version of Amaterasu. Chibiterasu, as revealed by Matsushita, is, in fact, Amaterasu's child/son, as was previously speculated. Producer Eshiro noted that he is a "young form of existence" and not fully grown; he retains several abilities of Amaterasu, including the Celestial Brush, but lacks her power, which will be reflected in the plot and gameplay. Matsushita also called Chibiterasu clumsy and having childlike traits of "being tearfully sentimental or not being able to make decisions". Issun, Amaterasu's partner in the first game, is unavailable to help Chibiterasu as he is busy with his duties as the Celestial Envoy, and thus Chibiterasu is tasked to find other partners to help rid the world of evil.[16] One of the partners that accompanies Chibiterasu is Kuni the adopted son of Susano and Kushi, two characters from Εkami.[8] Other partners include: Nanami, a young mermaid that is able to swim about in underwater stages; Kagu, a spirit medium who helps Chibiterasu see ethereal elements; Kurow, a flute-playing young boy that bears some traits similar to Waka from Εkami; and Manpuku, an overweight boy carrying fire who can walk through ice spikes and can provide a fire source for the Inferno technique.Read full review
I think the game has really good graphics for a DS game and I am a big fan of Okami I really like the story the game has a good connection with the first game and I really like the controls to.

Great game for the Nintendo DS. The gameplay is similar to a Zelda adventure. Good use of both the controls and the stylus for the brush strokes.

Came exactly as shown, brand new with plastic cover on it. The original Okami has been a favourite of mine for many years, and the sequel has great potential

Really reminds me of Okami which makes sense. Writing is witty and is a good throwback to the old Okami :)

This is very reminisient of the original Okami for Wii and other platforms. In ways it is easier since you do the brush strokes with the stylus and not with the Wii-mote. There is no 'astral pouch' that you have to worry about filling. Overall a very enjoyable game and gives me my Okami fix on the go. The format is engaging (more so than other games I have) with the story and tasks you have to complete. It's easy to get addicted!
