Otogi: Myth of Demons is a third-person action game where you play as Raikoh. He's a mighty warrior who's been brought back to life by a mysterious princess to fight against an army of demons that threaten Japan. She holds him in the world of the living, keeping him there with her powers.
Battle your enemies using either your sword, magic, or a combination of both. You can buy new weapons and spells between missions to improve your performance. The battle system allows for various combinations of attacks, including basic, heavy, spell, and dash moves. Raikoh's ability to stay in mid-air for long periods and jump higher with certain slashes means fights take place in all directions.
