 Odin Sphere Review: Play Now | Play in Popup | Download

Odin Sphere is an incredible, beautiful, action-RPG that features animated art unlike anything we’ve ever seen in a video game before. There are some questionable gameplay issues but a tremendous story makes up for it. 

GAME DESCRIPTION: “The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace, as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact, it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that, if fulfilled, will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of five fighters from the various lands, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as they learn the truth behind the prophecy…and how to bring it to an end.” –EBGames.com
