El Shaddai ASCENSION OF THE METATRON

El Shaddai -Ascension of the Metatron-

If there was a hack-and-slash action adventure video game that is much sleek and smooth in the eyes of otakus everywhere, El Shaddai is the answer.

In El Shaddai, players take the role of a human being named Enoch. He was sent by the Heavenly Council to capture the angels known as Grigori, which they abandoned Heaven and residing on Earth due to the temptation with humans. The quest beyond good versus evil begin and the fate rests in the hands of Enoch.

As a hack-and-slash adventure, El Shaddai turns the table among its rivals and players experiment many battle styles to defeat ruthless enemies. Your main weapon, the arch, serves as the main weapon that you can slice against several enemies but if the enemy has your arch, you can get it back by any means of fistfights. There can be multiple weapons around the El Shaddai game and how you use it is up to you. One word of warning however that the arch may sometimes lead to its dark side after several fights. In the beginning, you must retrieve the arch from the enemy and purify it back with heavenly worldly powers so you can send these rouge angels back to Heaven.

Graphics seem to be more dull but it seems to be somewhat sleek and smooth, making it the slickest adventure game played for the extreme. Voice casting seems to be more fine but it can be somewhat redundant in the ears of players. The soundtrack seems to be fine but somewhat plain.

El Shaddai seems to be the slickest and smoothest hack-and-slash action game ever to hit on Playstation3 and XBOX 360. How will it appeal? Time will tell.
