Kamiwaza: Way of the Thief

i love old games, and games that dare to be different. maybe there is something great here. but it feels unfinished, like this was something they thought of and started making it, and then decided to pivot / make something else. and left like 1 person to finish the job. but who knows, maybe its just that starting area that feels like that, maybe that was added post completion and the rest of the game is great. maybe one day i will try it agian, probably after i have burned through all the other old games i have missed. 07

Kamiwaza is one of the most unique games I feel I have ever played. It is oozing with so much personality and charm. The gameplay is centered around stealth and stealing. The mechanics, gameplay and characters can be downright goofy at times. Whereas the main storyline is pretty serious. The juxtaposition of these elements make for a fun and memorable experience. The game also has multiple endings, and certain things that carry over between playthroughs, so there is replay value here as well. Gameplay can feel like a janky struggle at times, but pushing yourself to learn how it all works and get through it is worthwhile. Also the game has a spectacular soundtrack. I fully recommend this to anyone willing to play a game that might test their ability and patience at times.

A weird game where you run up to the opponent and break dance in front of their face to perform a suteki stealth, then suteki steal everything around to gain suteki points. Then you spend those suteki points to learn additional suteki moves. It deserves a suteki remake.
