    Not good, not bad. Most positive thing i can say is they made something different.. This is not an RPG, it is an action game, and very twitch/fastpaced at that. Its most like Ninja Gaiden on Xbox, or Shinobi, in my opinion. There are no "levels" to your character. You buy skills with gold. No world map, select what you want to do from a list. Graphics are extremely impressive on both PS3 &Not good, not bad. Most positive thing i can say is they made something different..

    Most negative thing i can say is no game should have a camera/targetting this bad. I mean really, if this was a Gamecube or Dreamcast game, it would have been considered an absolutely horrible camera/targetting system even back then... IMO it just doesn't really work, i encourage you to try targetting the closest enemy to you and see how many times it actually works.. Plenty reason not to play the game, and there are unfortunately many more i won't go into, official reviews cover them well. So many useless features/etc that feel obviously tacked on and annoying as well.

    To close with a positive note, i think this game is graphically & gameplay-wise better than White Knight Chronicle, but the flaws make it worth skipping unless you're really patient. As of 2016 you can still sometimes find one or two parties online.    … Expand

    Complete average hack 'n slash. If you desperately need a game to play with your online buddies, this will suffice, but there are far better alternatives.

    Ragnarok Odyssey ACE is a good game to play in bursts because it doesn't demand a lot of one's attention or time. It's even more enjoyable when you have a friend to share it with. Unfortunately, there's just not enough variety in terms of missions or gameplay to keep the game engaging.

    If you don’t mind a little grinding for better weapons and equipment, putting the time into ROA can be a very rewarding and enjoyable time spent.

    Ragnarok Odyssey ACE tries its best to salvage last year’s disappointing Vita-only action-RPG with a few new gameplay mechanics and expanded content, but the minor fixes can’t come close to patching the fundamentally boring core.
