Replay – From Software's Otogi Series

From Software is known predominantly for the Dark Souls series, Bloodborne, and the recent Sekiro: Shadows Die Twice, but back in 2003, before Hidetaka Miyazaki had joined the developer, it released a pair of action games exclusively for the Xbox called Otogi: Myth of Demons and Otogi 2: Immortal Warriors. The two games share some overlap with From's latest game, Sekiro, in that they're third-person action games starring protagonists who exist between life and death and they take place in heightened versions of Japanese history.

Join Andrew Reiner, Jeff Cork, Leo Vader, and me as we play the beginning of each game, revisit some smart Tenchu jokes, and die admittedly more than we like. It is a From Software game, after all.

However, Wolfenstein is more than just a stepping stone. Over the years the pulpy WW2 has changed several developers’ hands, constantly transmuting and bouncing all over the place tone-wise, but has never lost its identity, even when both Medal of Honor and Call of Duty arrived, choosing to wallow about in arcadey violence instead of following the more realistic and procedural design of more modern WWII titles for two decades. With Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus out in a few weeks’ time, we thought it pertinent ...
