About the Game

Odin Sphere is a side-scrolling action game with RPG elements, featuring a combination of 2D and 3D graphics. The game was designed as a spiritual successor to Atlus' own Princess Crown , and features the same kind of modular animation system, allowing for extremely smooth and varied motion for even the largest characters. The action gameplay is similar to Princess Crown , but does not limit enemy encounters to one-on-one fights, instead, all fighting happens in real-time as players progresses through circular areas.

Story & Setting

A major part of the experience is 5 distinct playable characters, each with his or her own storyline intertwined into one epic tale loosely based on Richard Wagner 's Der Ring des Nibelungen .
