Odin Sphere (PS2) - Ships 5/22


What is it?

Odin sphere is a side scrolling, 2D action RPG developed by Vanillaware, published by Atlus. It is the spiritual sequel to the Japanese only Saturn game, Princess Crown.

English Trailer

Gameplay Footage

Features:
-Luscious 2D Sprites and Animation
-Multiple difficulty modes & 5 different character scenarios add replay value.
-Action Gameplay coupled with RPG elements like leveling and being story-driven.
-Dual Voice Options: All dialogue is fully voiced in both English & Japanese

Apparently, you level by capturing enemy souls, which may or may not be used to grow fruit which you eat.



This is the first game I've preordered in several years. I'm a big fan of both RPGs and 2D sprite based games. And like many new PS2 games these days, its retail price is 39.99.

It's getting really good reviews. Electronic Gaming Monthly gave it game of the month with insane scores. I'm highly debating getting it.

I have it on order, and should be here sometime in the next week or two (amazon free shipping, so no rush!)

I bought this game. Man it is seriously weird. It reminds me of Tales of Destiny. I'm not sure I like the sluggish controls right now....maybe they get better once more abilities open up (I'm only 2 hours into it). I really like the art design and style of the game. I wish there was more plot and character development but again I'm really not far enough into it to make a decision on it.

Pretty great game so far. The gameplay is a lot of fun, a bit sluggish at times and, even worse, there is occasionally some lag. That can be frustrating, but it doesn't happen often. The difficulty is perfect. There have been a few bosses where I had only 1-4 HP left and just managed to deal the killing blow before they whipped around and killed me.

It's absolutely gorgeous, of course. Bosses look huge (Godzilla v. Housefly with a spear), and there aren't any ordinary characters because even the generic ones have charm. Backgrounds during the level are phenomenal. You've got white-hot magma exploding over rocks in one level and smoking battlefields in another. The voice acting is okay, could be better. A lot of the merchants are pretty bad, but a few of them are golden. Main characters are alright, a few highlights and a few low points-- nothing distractingly bad.

I think the story, so far, is better than the average JRPG. Not much, though, at least not at first. I don't want to spoil anything, but it's getting better as it goes. I'm thinking that it will be something really great by the end, maybe a few fluctuations as we go. The second part was a real treat, easily on par with some of the better RPG stories I've seen.

Alchemy/gardening/food, etc. is fun but not some extraordinarily great part of the game. It adds a relatively interesting element and is easy enough that it doesn't get in the way.

Frankly it's been a while since I got some new 2D gameplay to burn through, on a non-handheld console, and it was a blast to get back into it. This is particularly good 2D gameplay with a few flaws. It's great fun even with 'em, though. Glad I bought it and I'd recommend it.

Just beat it. Got the bad ending . Gotta replay the last chapter to get the good ending. Doesn't take long though.

I'm seriously starting to get addicted to this game. It starts out really weird and takes a while to get used to the style of the game but now I'm hooked. The music in this game is amazing if I didn't say it already.

My girlfriend brought it over and i watched her play it for a bit.

It looks like a lot of fun, but i am hesitant to pick up a copy now beacuse it looks like it will take forever to finish this game.
