Otogi: Myth of Demons is a third-person action game where you play as Raikoh. He was once a great warrior, but has been brought back to life by a mysterious princess to save Japan from an army of demons. She keeps him in the world of the living using her powers.
Battle your enemies with either your sword, magic, or both, and buy new items to improve your skills between missions. The battle system lets you do different combinations of attacks to defeat your foes. You can perform various attacks like basic, heavy, spell, and dash strikes to hit your enemies. With Raikoh's ability to stay in mid-air for long periods and jump higher with certain slashes, fights take place in all directions.
