AppGamer - If you don’t immediately get the reference to the two horses, Miya and Moto, owned by our hero in the game, then you’re probably not going to be bothered about the obvious homage Sacred Odyssey pays to Nintendo’s Zelda games. Which is just as well, because Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden is a great game in its own right.
Pocket Gamer: If Nintendo had £1 for every game that tried to copy The Legend of Zelda, it would probably be around £15 better off.
Still, anyone who has ever so much as read the back of a Zelda game box will get a sense of deja vu as the story of Sacred Odyssey gets going. It stars an unlikely hero rising to save the world for a beautiful princess, and contains swords, horse riding, and puzzly dungeons.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): These days, almost everyone owns a smart phone, even diehard Nintendo fans that need a break from their DS or 3DS systems to enjoy a few rounds of Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.
Mobot: I'm a bit of a gamer and I got an Apple iPad a while back, so I really wanted to see what it could do in terms of games. Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden looked like a very interesting title so I decided to give it a bash.
Now, RPGs aren't usually my bag, so I went into this review with a bit of trepidation. You see, I'm not one for the gaming grind, I prefer instantaneous gratification in the form of head shots and grisly death.
