Much like the boss fights, Kamiko is over before you know it. The bosses aren’t difficult or all that imaginative as I’ve seen near identical bosses in similar titles, but I still had a good time slaying them.
This combined with the fact the items you must carry are dropped if damaged leads to strategically leaving an enemy or two behind to prevent faster enemies from spawning, thus giving you a clear path.Įach level ends with a boss battle, which either gets faster or changes forms as they take damage. Enemies respawn whenever their area is re-entered, pending you killed all them previously. Each of the four levels consists of a few easy-to-solve puzzles that involve sliding blocks onto buttons or carrying orbs and keys to their intended destinations. While this is a top-down action game, much in the vein of the original Legend of Zelda, it is much more of an arcade-like experience. Just mash attack and let your weapon do the rest. Kamiko has players take the role of their choice of three divine maidens: Yamato with a giant sword, blue hair, and antlers the hooded Uzume with her bow and arrow that can be charged to shoot out a ton of homing arrows at once and finally Hinome, whose shield comes back to her like a boomerang while she quickly stabs with her dagger.Įach character has a combo that can be performed just by repeatedly mashing the attack button but don’t play much differently from one another as the same strategies work for each character, even with Uzume’s arrows. But if you’re like me and can’t wait, you can either buy it with a credit card off the eShop if your card supports it, or if it doesn’t, you can grab Japanese eShop credit from Amazon Japan pretty easily. For a mere 500 Yen, which Google tells me is currently $4.60 USD, it was worth making a Japanese account and taking a chance on.Īlso, if should be noted that as of writing, Kamiko hasn’t been announced for release outside of Japan, but it’s highly unlikely that it won’t be. It isn’t every day that we here at Destructoid review imports, but like Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 which I also reviewed, Kamiko also features an all lady cast and offers an English translation if you grab it from the Japanese eShop. The Switch game worth an ‘import’ right now
