The game is played from a third-person perspective, usually from an isometric view or some similarly fixed perspective. Players' primary task is rejuvenating the now barren land of Nippon, which is achieved by using the powers of the Celestial Brush to restore the land to its former state, as well as helping out its citizenry to earn their praise and thus become more powerful.

Many people have compared this style of gameplay to the Legend of Zelda series - which the team behind the previous game, the now defunct Clover Studio, even cited as an inspiration. Traveling around the land of Nippon, fighting demons, solving various puzzles with the help of the Celestial Brush, running around towns and villages talking to their residents, and just generally exploring makeup the majority of the activities available. The gameplay in Okamiden is largely the same as its predecessor. The game sees players return to the land of Nippon to once again save and rejuvenate it from the clutches of darkness as a new threat arises to ravage the land. Released on the Nintendo DS, Okamiden is set nine months after the events of the first game and stars Chibiterasu, the child of the first game's protagonist Amaterasu. Okamiden is the sequel to 2006's Ōkami for the PlayStation 2 and Wii.
