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.… Expand

Odin Sphere on the PS2 was an under-appreciated gem that was swimming in charm, beauty and solid game play but, it wasn't without it's faults. The faults in question were never game breaking or frustrating but rather just tiny little nitpicks here and there that just stopped it from being a near perfect masterpiece. This remastering, however, has fixed any issue the original had and turns Odin Sphere into a game that can sit along side the greatest games ever made.
   The combat is as fluid and solid as action based combat can get with minor improvements taking cues from Vanillaware's later title 'Muramasa: The Demon Blade' and the more recent Indie game 'Guacamelee' from Drinkbox Studio. The crafting and upgrading systems have been tweaked to be more modern and coherent. The ground breaking graphics and animation have had a crisp make-over and the stunning music and well acted voice work has been cleaned up.
   This is exactly what a remaster should be; take a classic game and modernize it and make it more accessible without compromising it's original integrity.
   What else can I say? If you liked the original; this is a better version (and for purists, there is 'classic mode' where the original game play is in tact). For fans of more recent Vanillaware titles like Muramasa: Rebirth and Dragon's Crown; Odin Sphere, in my opinion, is the definitive Vanillaware title. Hell, anyone into action JRPG's in general will find plenty to love in this game.
   It was an absolutely wonderful experience on the PS2 and it's just gotten better. 10/10… Expand

It looks and feels like as unforgettable fairy tail that has a great Game of Thrones feel with multiple characters with different stories and visions of the same conflict. One of the greatest of all time. An almost perfect game… Expand

   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 notched
   
   Gameplay - 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 more
   
   Length 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… Expand
