They are no longer helpless when they get discovered.
Aragami 2 is inspired by some of the best action games around with skill-based combat where players must strategically engage their enemies. Aragami are powerful assassins and are almost gods when they stalk from the shadows, but once they are discovered, they become vulnerable.

The addition of the all-new strategic combat system takes what Tenchu made popular and elevates it to loftier heights. Even better, Aragami 2’s gripping narrative can be experienced in full completely solo or with friends as a co-op stealth-action adventure. The Aragami clan, known as Kurotsuba, must utilize their power as they attempt to fight back against the invading Akatsuchi Empire.
