Players will control Aragami, an undead assassin with supernatural abilities summoned back from the grave by Yamiko, a mysterious girl with ties to Aragami's past. Yamiko is being imprisoned by Kaiho - The army of Light - whose warriors guard the heavily fortified citadel of Kyûryu.

Using his newly acquired Shadow Powers, Aragami can manipulate darkness to become the ultimate ninja assassin. Players will need to use all their supernatural powers, wit and cunning to defeat their enemies.

Aragami is a game heavily inspired by old-school stealth games like Tenchu and Metal Gear Solid, and more recent gems like Mark of the Ninja and Dishonored. Use your powers to play as a Ghost, remaining undetected and getting to your target without a whisper. Or you can play a total Demon, slaying everyone in your path and using your powers to wreak havoc on those who would stand against you.

Spanish developers Lince Works' Aragami has turned 3 years old today.

Originally released on PC and PS4 on October 2016, the game went on to gain substantial success for the indie studio which led to later releases on Xbox One and Nintendo Switch. 

The game has sold around 500 000+ units, with around 320 000+ of those on PC. The PS4 and Xbox One versions also continue to perform well, but the Nintendo Switch version, despite being the last version to release in February 2019, has generated the fastest amount of sales for the given time window.

“Despite being 3 years old, our game is still selling which gives us a lot of joy and security for the studio, but it’s also a matter of us grinding to keep that momentum going. The market has changed drastically since our initial launch so it’s not a matter of fire and forget. It seems that today if you get any success, you best do what you can to hold on to it, said David Leon, Head of Studio, Lince Works.

To mark the occasion, the PC (Steam) version of the game is on sale at an 80% discount for the next 48 hours.
