![]() ![]() ![]() Voice-overs in Japanese and English: Hear the Japanese voices as initially recorded, together with updated English voices and text. A 2D action RPG telling the magnificent yet dramatically interlocking stories of the 5 protagonists in a world of Norse Mythology. Classics Avoid Falling Behind the Trend: Those who enjoyed the battle-based gameplay of the first iteration of Odin Sphere do not need to worry about missing out on that experience because it will continue to be an available option in the updated high-definition version of the game. In addition to the stunning locations that must be explored, each unique step introduces a fresh set of foes that must be overcome. New Stages and Enemies! The realm of Odin Sphere has been expanded with additional stages. In addition, the experience has been modernized by adding brand-new skill trees and a user-friendly inventory system. ![]() Adding new moves makes the gameplay feel more fluid and improves the experience’s quality. Redesigned for MORE ACTION: The improved controls and gameplay elements in Dragon’s Crown have been carried over to Odin Sphere Leifthrasir and given more polish. The game is known for its exquisite hand-drawn, 2D visual style. According to Prophecy, is the End drawing near? HD Art Upgrade: Odin Sphere is remade at 1080p and 60 frames per second, making the already colorful imagery even more so and the already stunning imagery even more so. The conflict is becoming more fierce by the day. Because of this, a fight has broken out over the Cauldron, which is now without a ruler and involves all of the nations of the land. Its population flourished thanks to the magical power of the Crystallization Cauldron, but all of that was taken away during one fatal night. On Erion’s landmass, Valentine’s nation possessed the most significant amount of political and military might. The game is told in five stories, each told from the point of view of a different protagonist. Odin Sphere Leifthrasir expresses the original game with stunning high-definition graphics in Vanillaware’s signature style. If you’re somehow really pissed off at this attempt at meddling with the classic formula, you can opt for a completely original experience with a separate menu option, which hosts its own incompatible save files.The developers of the popular side-scrolling action game Dragon’s Crown, ATLUS and Vanillaware, have announced the debut of a new actual HD project that aims to reproduce and perfect the PS2 classic Odin Sphere, a 2D action RPG with Norse Mythology roots. All of the tweaks do make the game easier (provided that one doesn’t jack up the difficulty from the get-go), but they seek to make it less frustrating overall. New mini-bosses have also been worked in to make levels a tad more interesting, which are somewhere in the neighborhood of filler but not quite as disappointing (they’re similar tactically, but all stand out aesthetically). Inventory management, which could be a nightmare in the past, is now separated by handy tabs, and players can use Phozons (more on that in a moment) manually to grow plants. Odin Sphere basically gives you full control of your character, as well as the HUD (you can turn nearly everything off, and the remake gives you more of a zoomed-out view). If it sounds like I’m just listing mechanics, you’d be right - if you can think of it, it’s probably there. You can slide to break guards, glide, double-jump, air dash, evade, block, and initiate aerial launchers and raves. The action is less clunky, and is more akin to a 2D fighter with easier combo initiators (square doesn’t just block now you can hit a direction to trigger a directional attack) and a streamlined ability system. So what else is new? Well, the team reworked combat and just about every other mechanic to make things a bit smoother. The staggered method of storytelling across five perspectives only elevates its effectiveness, and even with a few repeated locales and overlapped boss fights, little moments like getting downtime with NPCs makes it all worth it. If a question is posed at some point, Odin Sphere will probably answer it, even if it’s 20 hours later. With an excellent voice cast (both English and Japanese) and a story that explores every facet of the game’s world and its characters’ motivations, no stone is left unturned. The framing for this story is perhaps the most endearing part of all - a young girl and her cat Socrates are following along in a storybook in her attic, NeverEnding Story style. Set to the backdrop of the Cauldron War, five (playable) strangers will all interact with one another and eventually unite under a common goal, with plenty of twists and turns along the way. ![]() Odin Sphere revels in its ability to create larger-than-life characters that actually feel formidable and complex, yet easy to connect with. ![]()
