This game deserves all the love it can get, and the saddest thing is knowing we will never get anything like this ever again. There's so muchThis game deserves all the love it can get, and the saddest thing is knowing we will never get anything like this ever again. There's so much attention to detail, so many improvements as well done to the original version, and in an oversaturated market of ironic and edgy stories, this very down to earth story of love and how it can be expressed and challenged in different ways is the most charming thing I've seen in a long time.It's been a long time since I've "fallen in love" with a game, and I couldn't have picked a better one. It was so good I instantly bought the next game from the same developers despite it being a completely different genre.I hate 2D side scrollers, I think they're the laziest thing a company could ever do, but this one is fantastic, and it shows that it's a gem of the PS2 era.

The strong point of Vanillaware is the art. It really inspire me. The gameplay and story are good, but I think it can still be improved.

I have played Odin Sphere around 15 hours+, only reached second character, then started feeling tried to continue. Here is my quick briefI have played Odin Sphere around 15 hours+, only reached second character, then started feeling tried to continue. Here is my quick brief honest review.Story - Fantastic so far, but not very unique, it is mostly about love and lore, romance stuffs. I am not a fan of love story. I personally would like it to be more harsh, more plot twisted.Graphic, Art Design, Eng Voice Casting - Top notchedGameplay - The best 2D action game I've ever played. However, it is still a 2D action game and thus it has limit. Even though, the devs tried to make a game various as much as possible such as adding new three skills to every mission and keep changing character. In the end, it is still not enough to compete with 3D action games nowadays and mostly you will use only few skills that you are familiar with anyway. This game also highly rely on leveling up your character and using items. Therefore, having good or bad skill does not matter, you will be able to beat the game anyway if you keep grinding for lv and stuffs. Evading and Blocking are not that necessary since you will want to keep attacking all the times, whatever enemies come at you, they do not matter, you need to hit first, that's all . With this reason, the game become repetitive very fast because you will always do the same thing regardless of types of enemies.Reused bosses and map is what mostly disappoint me. It is too cheap and devs want us to continue beating those guys for every character we play, really ?. Moreover, the scale of difficulty is also not decent. Normal difficulty is pretty easy but when I change to Hard difficulty, it is very brutal. HP pool of enemies is huge and even more absurd with hard difficulty. You have to keep spamming attack all days. NOT FUN.Music - Great, but very few BGMs if compared to games nowadays.. Should have moreLength of content - Great, it might take you 40 hours+ to finish all characters.In sum, Odin Sphere is great port and may be great game in the past. Right now it is an old schooled story - hack slash game. What great is art design, voice casting but I could not bare the repetitive gameplay, reused bosses and childish love stories. Clearly not a game for everyone but 2D action soft gamers

Not only does this game bring the gameplay mechanics to the same high level as the slick visuals everybody knows it from, there are also a lot of small improvements that make this game heavenly to play.

If you’ve played any side-scrolling games, chances are you’ve incidentally played this one. Odin Sphere is undoubtedly fun, but its 40-hour quest etches too long to repel the armies of repetition. It’s charm and aesthetic character are the real arrows for its quiver - the crux to get your attention and to keep it.
