Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Review - DarkZero

Jorge S Fernandez: "To call Odin Sphere Leifthrasir the definitive version of the original game would be selling it short: the sheer amount of improvements and new content have transformed the game into a whole new experience that both original fans and curious newcomers must not miss. As 3D visuals continue to dominate most of the gaming industry today, 2D homages like Odin Sphere truly are becoming a lost art that must be admired for as long as they remain."

I started playing this on my Vita and it's a really enjoyable game; however, stupid me forgot my Vita while visiting my family and now I have to wait like a week before I get my system back... It's been difficult without it..

Spyroo2997d ago

You should tell your family to play it for you lol

Fullmetalevolust2997d ago

anybody wanna pass me their copy when they're done?
Spent my money on Star Ocean and I don't regret it one bit hehe....but still wanna play Odin Sphere.
Stopped playing the ps 2 version not to spoil this one.

brewin2997d ago

So another remaster that ps4 only players are counting as a new exclusive? I own this on ps2 so I am intrigued to check this out, but it would be cool if owners of the ps2 copy could get some sort of discount for these remasters. Why not a sequel though? Remasters are getting old. Id prefer a new game and backwards compatibility for the ps2 version.

BlaqMagiq12997d ago

You're expecting a discount for owning a game from two gens ago? Really? And why would you want to play the original by BC? Great game at its release but it ran like shit on PS2. This remaster literally fixed EVERYTHING wrong with the PS2 version.

Spyroo2997d ago

Go look up. This is nothing like your standard lazy 'remaster' its more like a remake.
They changed and updated nearly every aspect of the game its like a whole new game better than ever. Many necessary changes too.

littlezizu2997d ago

It's Remake, get fact right before posting. It's 60$ retail game worth every penny. MC is at 89 making it among top games in 2016.

galmi2997d ago

Love the game but at 59.99, too expensive for me really

PlayStation Plus is a secret paradise for RPG fans

From games that digitaltrends DeAngelo Epps has always wanted to play but missed out on, like Odin Sphere, to newer titles that he'd love to re-experience like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there was enough there to justify diving back in. And those titles aren’t even a small percent of what’s available here. Vanillaware titles, Square Enix games, NIS franchises he’d never even heard of — there’s a whole lot to dig into.

PSPlus is Amazing for RPGs and NIS America, Square Enix and Vanillaware games are perfect for PSPortal.

LG_Fox_Brazil299d ago

Not really a 'secret' but a paradise indeed, I just finished Soul Hackers 2, pretty good, and started Labyrinth of Galleria and I am having a blast. Tons of great RPGs in the PS4/PS5 family

Mr_cheese299d ago

Secret is the click buzzword. Can't have a title without bait these days.

anast299d ago

secret, shadow, hidden

OtterX299d ago

Perfect for playing on the Portal, since rpgs can be such timesinks. For those people who can't stay glued to the TV, it's good to give some freedom around the house, out on the porch or whatever. I haven't picked up a Portal yet, bc of life priorities, but I definitely anticipate picking one up asap and playing more rpgs!

ziggyzinfirion299d ago

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII:Remake for the first time on PS5 and I am freaking blown away by this game so far. I don't know why I waited this long or due to my huge backlog but had to be honest, this game exceeded my expectations.

OtterX299d ago

Yea, story pacing aside, the combat system is pretty killer, especially if you slow it down to play it more like a tactical turned based jrpg!

I actually wish FF16 had gone this route, instead of the DMC route. The FF7:R system gave enough action for those who wanted to play that way, while still appeasing us old school turn based jrpg fans.

Glad you're enjoying!

crazyCoconuts299d ago

Some of the best in game HDR I've ever seen in that game. I liked it a lot too. My first final fantasy game believe it or not

Hot damn those are some high quality games right there. I've been meaning to give 13 Sentinels a go, just haven't had the time to get around to it.

RpgSama375d ago

I had it on my wishlist waiting for a Discount, when I knew I would be close to playing it, so much in my backlog already, might as well try it now.

Also looks at ALL those Star Ocean titles!!!

Einhander1972375d ago

The story is so great especially if you don't know what's going on, When i played it I kept thinking I bet this is "it" no I bet that's "it" no it's got to be this, but "it" wasn't those things in the end.

It's Japanese story telling style at it's finest, lead you along and let you wonder what is actually going on really keeping you engaged to figure out the mystery.

The RTS gameplay I really enjoyed too, my only regret was that there wasn't even more of it!

RpgSama375d ago

LOL,

Who is salty enough to give you 4 dislikes for praising this game?

fr0sty375d ago

Probably why they hiked the price, so there could be better quality games and less shovelware.

notachance375d ago

It's one of the best story ever made in recent years, there's a reason it was nominated the best narrative in 2020's TGA.

Tapani374d ago

I heard 13 Sentinels has a superb story, gotto try it at one point.

I can vouch for Nier Replicant, it has one of the coolest endings I have experience in a game. Took me a while to complete the game fully, but man, it was more than worth it in the end.

nier and star ocean. 14 sentinels, jrpg dream. Even I can't hate on that.

CrimsonWing69375d ago

13 Sentinels is a must play if you haven't. Like, I can't praise enough what an awesome story and set of characters that game has.

monkey602375d ago

Why did they rename Backbone? Strange.

Tips and Tactics: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir

John Rinyu writes: ''With the release of Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim around the corner, at the time of this writing, I wanted to try one of the developer's earlier games for myself. After looking over my options, I decided to give Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir a try.''
