Video Gaming News - August 2003

San Francisco, CA (August 26, 2003) - SEGA today announced the release of Otogi - Myth of Demons, a samurai warrior action game exclusively for the Xbox.

From Sega:

Developed by FROM Software, "Otogi - Myth of Demons" delivers mission-based gameplay in deep, destructible environments representative of ancient Japan. Based on Japanese folklore, "Otogi" tells the story of an undead warrior on a quest to save himself and the universe from a vicious, demonic army.

"'Otogi - Myth of Demons' is a huge game with gorgeous graphics set in a fantastical world that U.S. gamers have not yet been exposed to," said Noah Musler, product manager, SEGA of America. "'Otogi' delivers more than Xbox gamers bargained for this fall; it is a great choice for any action-adventure game fan, or for anyone looking for a good demon fight."

In "Otogi," gamers assume the role of Raikoh, an undead warrior on a mission to obliterate demons that have overtaken the Old World. Fully-customizable with more than 30 weapons and 12 varieties of magic, Raikoh makes his way through 29 colossal, highly destructible stages, striking down endless hoards of warriors, massive boss characters and everything else that gets in his way.

Armed with upgradeable weapons, magic and special demon-slaying items, "Otogi" gives gamers the ability to decimate trees, walls, furniture and even entire buildings as well as master dozens of special moves and techniques that make for the most intense, stylish combat available on Xbox. Set to music that reflects this documented age of supernatural beliefs, players will become immersed in the mysticism of the times as the story unravels.
