Odin Sphere

What's it all about?

Beautiful characters, amazing amounts of detail and fast action. RPG-style depth and multiple characters to keep you playing. A storybook come to life, but a storybook full of ass-kickings instead of a tale designed to send you off to slumberland. It's something you'll just have to see for yourself.

What's the big deal?

In this age of detailed 3D characters, traditional 2D graphics just don't get much love. Odin Sphere, however, proves that 2D is far from dead and in the right hands, it can be every bit as jaw-droppingly gorgeous as anything the next-gen consoles have to offer. The characters, enemies and backgrounds shine with vibrant colors and animations - all in a crisp high resolution we've almost never seen. Add in some great action/RPG gameplay, a multi-layered story and a fantastic orchestral score and you've got a game that's worth getting excited about.

How does it stack up?

Simply put, you've never seen a 2D game that looks as incredible as Odin Sphere does. But it's got more than pretty visuals to back it up - the story, gameplay and music are all top-notch as well. We're really excited about Odin Sphere and we'll be sure to keep you posted as we see more and more of what this game has to offer.
