    Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a very special RPG. It’s not only a jaw-droppingly gorgeous technical marvel, or a terrific and surprisingly grounded, relatable high-fantasy narrative, but it’s also an action-RPG with sublime, satisfying combat. It ticks all the boxes an RPG fan could want, and then some. It’s a genre masterpiece.

    Vanillaware have done a wonderful job of bringing Odin Sphere up to date whilst still keeping what made it so endearing originally. If you are after a combat focused game with a compelling setup and a beautiful, painterly aesthetic you really can’t go wrong with Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir.

    Starting from an already-outstanding PlayStation 2 game, Vanillaware went above and beyond to realize its full potential with the addition of more role-playing elements, a near-perfect framerate, stunning graphics, better maps, and a more vigorous combat mechanic. Even after I finished playing, I wanted to go back and explore more areas, fight more enemies and collect more loot. It’s a continuous loop of fun, and I hope it never ends.

    Odin Sphere Leifthrasir is a cult classic for good reason. It's a strange title, but an engrossing one that's only let down by some one-note characters.

    Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a work of art, and a joy to play leisurely on the Vita. It offers an interesting series of characters, five interwoven stories, and a ton of action - only asking that you put up with a little slowdown in the high action bits, and semi-regular unnecessary interruptions in return.

The colors pop off the screen, the combat is visceral and beautiful and the RPG elements are pretty addictive. The first time you see a giant dragon on the screen in this game, you'll be hooked too.… Full Review »

Fresh gameplayI picked up this game out of sheer curiosity and eye candy from the trailer. After playing for 6 hours, I must say I am hooked. Fresh gameplay style, and a side-scrolling orientation that makes traversing on the map pretty interesting. The characters are well-drawn, the dialogue and script is solid, the overall presentation, beautiful. The upgrade system is simple and straightforward, and lastly, -pardon the cliche- the boss battles are epic. Get this game, it's probably the best one out on the Vita today.… Full Review »

But now in my new game plus I could choose this difficult or the heroic mode (very hardcore mode). So now the game is perfect for me and I give 10/10.

    This Vita Version doesn't have problems with framerate and slowdown.    … Full Review »
