They battled the multi-headed beast known as Orochi until they defeated him – but perished due to the damage caused by the battle. It tells a dark tale of a village overrun by a beast and defended by a wolf named Shirunai and a warrior named Nagi.

Okami was a visual stunner on the PS2 and showed that when given the chance, the company could rise to a new level. While the studio had crafted some beloved games like the Viewtiful Joe games, nothing quite hit the AAA sweet spot. Okami was a watershed release for Clover Studio when it first hit shelves in 2006.
