Themes:Action, Comedy, Horror
Game modes:Single player
Story:Conquer your demons and you may conquer the world in this distinctly styled role-playing adventure for the PlayStation 2. Some have compared the look of this game to Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas and the fluid, stop-motion appearance of the three-dimensional characters is not completely unlike that seen in seasonal television specials. OKAGE: Shadow King is not a holiday story, however, but a dark tale of polar opposites that questions basic notions of identity and essence.
Players take the role of Ari, a young man with a remarkable affliction. A powerful demon -- calling himself "Stan" -- has taken refuge in Ari's shadow and is becoming infused in the boy's life. To free both his demon and himself, Ari embarks on a dangerous and involved quest to rid the world of seven other rival demons. Though he suffers under the burden of playing host to Stan, Ari is also aided from time to time by his demon's powers and the two begin to forge a symbiotic relationship.Show more

I absolutely love this game. I played this game a few years ago on my ps2 and had a really fun time with it, the characters are written well and have really cool goofy designs, and I really love the tim burton vibe this game has and I personally think this game should be available to more people to enjoy this masterpiece
This was the first ps2 game I bought with my own money. I hand drew a map for the world library as a kid. Boogie Knight, if you're out there, thanks for all the forum help with OSK in the early 2000s.
This game oddly enough wasnt my first choice of games that came with ps2 demo cd. But its main character’s English name, Ari, was the same as my dad’s nickname, so it caught my attention and we got the game. Now coming up 24 years later, I’m making my own fan sequel as a love letter to this series. Sekimoto’s unique artwork and the love letter style parody to RPGs story line is something I wish people to see more. I do agree the gameplay can be janky, defiantly a product of its time, but the art, characters and story makes up for it.
Child me got this............Honestly, I forgot who got this for me (Or if I got it with Birthday/Christmas money.) 'Shrug'. Anyway, this is a bizarre game where the Evil King who wants to take over the world......possesses you're shadow. Everyone around you just shrugs and goes "Guess you're the Evil King's Minion now.". You don't get to do much about it beyond empty objections. If you haven't figured it out yet this game doesn't take itself too seriously, in fact is actually made me laugh and grin quite often through the years. It is a JRPG with a unique (Mostly, in all honesty it looks Like Tim Burton's The Nightmare Before Christmas. I think someone on the game's development team might have also been on said Movie's Team.) art style and world, and man the Art Style has aged MARVELOUSLY (Realism never ages well.). So you're goal is to Help the Evil King obtain his lost powers and take over the world. Hilarity ensues and much snarkiness is had. As a JRPG it has Character Elements (Main Character is Neutral, neither weak nor strong against the other 3.) but if he dies it's game over (Which if you're a game dev and reading this DON'T EVER DO THAT.) and you're party members.......well you know the drill, attack enemies til they fall down and use magic to heal or damage. Other than Style, Writing, and Story it doesn't do alot different gameplay wise from most JRPGs, but it's competent enough where it counts. There are few games that have left as big an impact on me as this (Although there ARE some, Such as Star Ocean 2 and Suikoden 2.), and quite frankly if you ever play it it likely will leave an impact on you as well. We need more games like this, bursting with such creativity.
