Aragami isn't Tenchu, but it does give me that vibe that came from playing Tenchu on PSX, and this in turn gives us the wonderful stealth, patience and deadliest moves.
The game is also perfect for a steam deck:
Aragami is a spirit with a vengeful heart who is summoned through an ancient ritual to avenge something, someone or even a group of people.
In the case of this game, Yamiko summons you. She is a princess who has been captured by the Army of the Light and so she invokes you as a last resort.
This princess is trapped in the temple of a big city far from her home.
Aragami somewhat knows his purpose at the start, but who he exactly is remains unknown for the time being.
You can also tap from a large arsenal of special powers in Aragami.
For example, you can teleport between two shadows. Ideal for quickly getting behind an enemy and then finishing him off.
You can also use this to teleport past closed gates, or to reach higher areas.
Another very cool power is the summoning of some kind of shadow dragon.
It takes your enemy, body and all, to the underworld.
You can also throw shadow daggers, summon a black hole or place a decoy.
So you have several options to kill your enemies.
Aragami is a very cool single-player experience, but if you are tired of hopping around lonely in the shadows, you can also use the online co-op that the game has.
Here you can play the story mode with a friend or a complete stranger.
A very nice addition, because the game also gets an extra dimension. Nothing is more fun to discuss a tactic together on how to attack those broad samurai guys with just the two of you.
The co-op also ensures that this experience lets you play even longer.
it all looks good and the music is very nice. Playing with the various shadow forces is also very cool.

Very fun stealth game. It is quiet buggy sometimes and the dlc isn’t that great but all in all it’s still worth the few euros I spent to buy it.

Стильный стелс-экшен от инди студии про призванного мистической девушкой духа мщения, у которого тень - главная сила, и вакидзаси - главное оружие. Геймплейно игра дарит игроку вариативность при прохождении уровней. Будь то эффектно устранять всех и вся с помощью арсенала магических способностей, и таким образом прокладывать путь, либо же быть призраком, который не оставит после себя и следа. Миксовать стили так же никто не запрещает. Присутствует сбор предметов, раскрывающий мир игры, прокачка персонажа, получение рейтинга после прохождения уровней и кооператив для игры с другом. Очень вайбовая игрушка без капли духоты, а загадочные атмосфера и история подогреют интерес.

In Aragami you play a summoned warrior made of shadows, and shrouded in mystery that you will slowly uncover throughout the game. There are 13 Chapters in total, and a multitude of ways to traverse the many night time landscapes that lay ahead. Try to be a saint and finish each level without a single death, or leave no witnesses.
Pros:
Timeless Art Style
Captivating and Immersive Soundtrack
Steam Deck/Linux Friendly
Uncapped Framerate
A Gripping Storyline
Includes Level Editor and Steam Workshop
Multiple ways to play
Fun to play Handheld, at the desk, or in front of a TV
Cons:
None?
Aragami is definitely worth considering if you like stealth! Highly recommend!

This is how you felt when you wrapped a dishcloth around your head when pretending to be a ninja at age 5.
The Story:
Aragami has you playing as well, an Aragami. A paper swan. Ha, comedy. Nailed it ;). An aragami is actually a revived soul who, in your case specifically, is tasked by a mysterious sorceress to do her monthly shopping. Collecting various trinkets she needs to ultimately free her from her wrongful imprisonment. She appears as a projection to help guide you on your mission throughout the game.
The Gameplay:
Aragami plays from a third-person perspective and is primarily designed as a stealth game. Combat does exist, but it is rarely a successful engagement if there is more than one enemy as you can die in one hit. Sort of like when the boys gang up on you on Friday night roasting sessions.
If you've ever played Arkane's "Dishonored" series, you'll notice some similarities in terms of abilities. You can't steal fruit with the power of your mind and pickpocket so fast it's surprising their pants don't come off with it, but you can blink, alongside other similar tools used for stealth.
Since there's a war between the forces of light and darkness (literally), your ability to move effectively and stealthily requires you to use darkness to the best of your ability. Not only is your "magic" drained when in well lit areas, but it is inversely restored when in complete darkness. It is also helps keep you hidden, if that wasn't obvious. The magic is used to blink around, so without it, well, you're a candle trying to survive a hurricane.
Some Pros:
- The entire game can be played in co-op.
- It has a serene, vibrant art style that is very thematic and beautiful to look at.
- The music is epic, from more slow songs to rock N roll boss fights.
- Lots of verticality and routes to reach your objectives.
- Various playthrough medals and and collectables for replayability.
- Goes on sale fairly often for cheap.
Some Cons:
- The one hit kill thing is a bit irritating not because you die in one hit, but if you're in the animation of hiding a body or a kill, you're locked in place. Leaving you vulnerable.
- The teleport ability to move around can be a bit finicky around ledges.
- Enemies aren't incredibly varied.
Conclusion:
Aragami is a fantastic game to play through with a friend or even just for lovers of stealth in general. It's complex and satisfying enough to play, combined with gorgeous art and epic music, it's sure to keep you entertained. Now go get that dishcloth!
10/10, will sneaky-sneak again! :D

It's Splinter Cell but you play as Moon Knight and can ban people to the shadowrealm with your homies.
Pretty fun overall if you can get past that unmistakable indie Unity jank™. Sorta wish you had better mobility options and got your upgrades earlier though - early game can feel kinda miserable. Also ngl, the concept of a vengeful spirit who can teleport all around but is somehow unable to JUMP is pretty funny to me.
Anyway give it a try if you're even remotely interested in the genre. This usually goes for dirt cheap on sales.
God I miss stealth games. Pour one out for the devs.
