Ragnarok Odyssey ACE is a great example of a "clone" done right, especially when it comes to that of popular titles (i.e. Monster Hunter and others like it) that aren't accessible on the platforms they make the most sense on. It's a great starting place for budding beast slayers, especially if you didn't play the game during its first time on store shelves.
Full review by Brittany Vincent.
Ragnarok Odyssey Ace plays and feels nothing like the well known Ragnarok Online game we all know and love(d). Familiarity to the MMMO is lost as the game only presents vague representations and mentions of the content from Ragnarok Online.
Those familiar with Ragnarok Online should treat this as a new and totally different game.
New Ragnarok Odyssey ACE update adds a plethora of new content to Game Arts’ action RPG.
PixlBit | "Going into Ragnarok Odyssey ACE I was excited. To find out that the game was a spin-off of the one MMORPG that I actually was fully engrossed in for a period of time was a treat. Though this game and Ragnarok Online are indeed very different, the similarities and shared aspects were apparent from the get go. However, while I enjoyed those aspects, I may have been better off getting the Playstation Vita version.

While I do not personally approve the use of the "It's a Clone" talk in reviews (its a genre, people. A genre), it was a decently written review.
