NCS Game Synopsis
«©NCSX»
To ensure that the male heir to the throne
experiences life as a normal human to better
himself, the family of God and his godlings go slumming
on Earth. Samatarou
Kamiyama is the eldest son of the Almighty and attends high
school like an average teenager but is accompanied
by an angel named Tenko. Samatarou's every whim is
granted by his father Osamu, which Tenko tries to
prevent since Sam must experience human life as a
mortal. Joining the cast are goddess sisters Meme
and Misa along with an overly flirtatious mom named
Venus.
One day, a new transfer student named Kumiko
Komori catches Sam's eye and he resolves to win her
hand on his own and without intervention
from poppy.
God tries to interfere initially but his omnipotent hand is soon
slapped out of the scene and things progress at
their natural pace. Since Tenko has an attraction to Samatarou, a
bizarre love triangle plays out with hilarity and hi
jinx. The Playstation 2 Kamisama Kazoku game follows
the storyline of the animation series closely where
players take control of Samatarou and interact with
Tenko and Kumiko as well as the supporting cast. To
add another love interest to the story line, a third
girl named Akane Himura is introduced in the game for a total of three
possible romances to pursue.
NCS Bonus Schwag
All preorders will include a bonus music CD which
features an original song sung by Kumiko Komori...
or Ai Maeda, the voice actress who plays her in the
animation. Sadly, we have given away the bonus CDs
and new orders placed today will not include a copy.

Game Notes
» In the intro to the game, Tenko, Kumiko, and a
new girl named Akane Himura appear who has spiky
orange tresses and a willowy frame. They don't do
much in the static images of the intro but sort of
stand there and pose for the camera.
Press START and the following options appear:
NEW GAME........Begin a new adventure as
Samatarou
LOAD GAME.......Resume an adventure from memory card
data
OPTION.............Set message speed, automatic
parsing, and DS vibration
GALLERY............View character images, cinemas,
and music
● The main gallery mode contains 6 pages which may
be flipped through by pressing the L1 or R1
triggers. The first five pages each contain 12
secret images to unlock while the sixth page only
contains 4 images to unlock.
● The music gallery contains 24 BGM selections to
enjoy including the theme song of the game and a
number of sprightly tunes which would fit right into
any anime presentation....
» Six save slots are available for every 8M memory
card.
» Upon starting a new game, a brightly lit street
appears followed by Tenko whacking Samatarou with
her book bag. Tenko may be seen on screen in a
static image just as her brown book bag has just
swung across Sam's frame. She looks angry. After a
short conversation, she's smiling again and her
demeanor changes from woman warrior to lovable
angel.
» Kamisama is played like many other interactive
adventures where there's copious amounts of
text-based interaction and spot animations as the
characters talk and show emotion. Sadly, the voice
actors from the animation don't provide their vocal
stylings and the game consists of dialogue only. The
player is prompted to make a choice from two or
three available options every once in a while which
affects the path of the game and the reaction from
the supporting characters. In the first hour of
play, its mostly reading and the player is prompted
about 6 times for input
» To review the script of what has happened, press
the TRIANGLE button and a complete history of the
dialogue appears. The d-pad or L-analog may be used
to page through the reams of text.
» When Tenko gets angry, steam rises from her head
and she raises her arms in frustration. He face also
cringes into an unsightly interpretation of its
former pleasantness. Tenko has a tendency to waffle
between happiness and anger quickly and often, like
an undulating wave of sea water.
» In the next scene of the game, Sam's friend
Shinichi appears wearing a Kikumoto #13 t-shirt.
He's later joined by Misa, Tenko, and then Kumiko.
The boys are on the field later and playing soccer.
» Osamu appears every once in a while to meddle in
Samatarou's affairs. When he appears, his face is
centered inside a white bubble of sorts that floats
in mid-air by itself or next to other characters and
the dialogue commences from there.
» The dual shock vibration goes off whenever a
female knocks Sam around with body blows. There's a
good amount of that in the game.
» To toggle auto-forwarding of text dialogue, press
the start button. If you've played the game already
and are starting over for whatever reason, you can
fast forward through the dialogue by pressing the
SELECT button and all of the text will fly by in
quick motion.
» After the first day of school, Samatarou and Tenko
return home along with Kumiko to be greeted by Sam's
mom Venus. She's dressed in an overly sexy maid's
uniform complete with frilly cap, red bow, and
garters. After a lengthy spell of interplay between
Venus, Tenko, and Kumiko, the other members of the
household (Osamu, Misa, and Meme) appear in butler
and maid uniforms as if to prove a point.
» To save the progress in the game at any time,
press the SQUARE button and then highlight the
second (or yellow tabbed) option that appears. Press
"O-Button" followed by another pressing of the "O"
and the save slots menu will appear. Choose which
slot to save in and press "O" once more.
» If the first episode of
the Kamisama Kazoku animation had a theme,
it would be "underpants."
