Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir is a beautiful remake of the original PS2 Odin Sphere, released in 2007. This is NOT a remastered version; this is actually a remake of the original, with enhanced graphics and updated combat mechanics. The original was great; the remake is far better (and as a bonus, this actually includes the classic version as well, if you so wished to try it).
The game features an interesting, character-driven story that revolves around warring kingdoms. As the player, you control one of five characters at a time, driving them through their narrative story. When you complete the story of one character, the second unlocks. When the second is completed, the third unlocks ... this pattern repeats until you complete all five characters stories. Each story helps explain all sides of the conflict, and each new story does a great job of explaining in the gaps/holes of other stories, or giving you insight as to what happens from the other sides point of view. The events of one character might take place before the subsequent character's, or during them, or after them (timeline wise). By the end, you are treated to an easy to follow yet complex and engaging story that unfolds beautifully.
The game play is fluid, quick, and responsive. It's basically a side-scrolling action game that boasts combo-based attack systems, spells, and RPG character leveling/skills. One unique thing about the game is that the majority of your experience comes from preparing food. While you do get XP from killing enemies, eating food is your primary source. It's easy to pick up and dedicated players can really maximize leveling up using the combine alchemy system. All-in-all, as a person who generally dislikes food and alchemy in games, I love it in Odin Sphere. In terms of combat, each character is truly unique yet still maintains similar elements. You'll start at level 1 with each character when their story begins, but the game does a good job of giving you a feel for their play style before throwing you into the grinder.
Overall, if your an RPG fan, Odin Sphere is one of those games you should definitely play. A full play through will net around 30-40 hours. The game is linear in terms of navigating you through it, though you are free to revisit battlegrounds to acquire more gold, items, and XP to power level your character. However, don't expect some large, open-ended experience. This game is not like that. I consider it a story-driven narrative with a fun and enjoyable combat system. You are either listening to characters talk, or you are killing things. There's not much in between the two.

Beautiful Game
First thing you notice when popping in the game are the visuals as it's a very artistic game; very vibrant colors and delightful to look at. Animation is very fluid running a solid frame rate throughout.The game is fully voiced. Even minor NPCs with just one line have an audible voice line. Yes, some voice acting are same with a different pitch at times, but very impressive to have over two dozen characters say sometime in relation to their speech bubble text every time. The English dub is very good, but for purists there's also the Japanese dub.Story is very character driving involving 5 characters campaigns to play through with intersecting story paths. Nice to see the different perspectives of each character, as one may appear as a villain in one story, be a good person in another. There's a lot of twists and turns in each story campaign whether it involves love, loyalty and/or betrayal. Each of the 5 main campaigns last around 5-6 hours each (and that's not souly focusing on collecting everything in sight)Gameplay. This game is a RPG based slide scrolling beat-em-up. Levels have interconnected bit size stages that last maybe 1-2 minutes; great for on the go as it does support cross play with the PlayStation Vita. There's a very good combo and upgrade system in place and each of the 5 characters you play as have different play styles from each other. The upgrade tree for each character is very diverse, so depending how you upgrade each individual character, they may play differently in each subsequent playthroughs. Combo and timing is essential (especially in higher difficulty) as each stage give you different rewards based on letter grade of completion: S, A, B, C, etc.There's a lot to collect and unlock in this game. You gain levels through eating food (and defeating enemies) and you have limit storage space at times so you have to be resourceful. You have to combine materials/food items to create food recipes with every new recipe giving you an exp bonus. There's also scrolls to collect giving you more backstory for the game.You can either play classic (original PS2 control scheme) or a modern mode. I'd stick with the latter since the former is very clunky.With the nice visuals, addicting collecting and upgrade system this game will last you over 30 hours with the first playthrough. Even more if you plan to collect everything and unlock all the PSN trophies.

El juego es hermoso, ya le traía ganas de jugarlo desde que lo anunciaron pero nunca había tenido oportunidad de comprarlo.
En general sobre el juego e de decir que esta increíble tiene una historia algo curiosa pero con el paso del tiempo le captas fácil. El gameplay es muy fluido, el sistema de niveles también está decente, cada mapa tiene sus lugares secretos y bueno. No puedo decir más pues aún no e terminado el juego.
Un pequeño detalle que quisiera aclarar con el vendedor es que corrijan esta publicación, se puede editar no sean flojos, quiten el que diga "incluye libro de arte" pues no lo trae, no engañen a la gente. Eso no afecta a mi calificación, igual le doy 5 estrellas.
