Boring until 15 hours in when the combat takes a turn, then it's just okay until about 30 hours in and it comes together into a serviceable action game.
Play Odin Sphere in Japanese by the way. I tend to prefer dubs, but the VA job just sounds awkward because it's American actors doing weird English accents.

My first vanillaware game I played a couple years back but just got around to finishing. Art style is immaculate, and the combat is so damn satisfying. The story was quite the tale, the developers are master storytellers. Highly reccomend any of their titles. Voice acting performances were phenomenal from the voice actors like Yuri Lowenthal, Michelle Ruff, etc.

El juego esta weno pero creo que su gran problema es la constante repetición de bosses y escenarios es una pena que cuando te juegas la primera campaña prácticamente ya te has visto el 90% de los mapas y el como el 70% de los bosses pero si puedes soportar esa repetitividad vas a tener una historia bastante bonita con muy buenos personajes y con un gameplay que un repitiendo lo que dije arriba cada personaje se siente realmente unico con sus mecanicas que les diferencias de cada uno.

One of my favorite games ever. It's a nearly-perfect remake of the PS2 version, adding quality of life that was very sorely needed, as well as new backgrounds for levels, more (enchanting) music, and completely revamped mechanics. The unique athmosphere of the original game now shines brighter with these new additions.
As for the negatives, I wish some of the bosses didn't repeat that much. While the devs improved the boss variety with new minibosses, having to fight the same few story bosses 4 or 5 times really hurts.
Also, a boss rush mode can be unlocked after finishing the game, but I wish it had been an extra biome to explore instead (either the ones that each of the characters don't explore, or an entirely new one).
With just slightly more assets (like 2 extra main bosses and maybe an extra world to explore), it would be a perfect game by my book.
Overall, 9.5/10 game. Play it till the end, the last segment of the story is worth it!

A good fit for Vita, and a game I really liked at the start and especially the end. Some of the characters are really fun to play as now and it's shocking how far it's come since the PS2 version which I found pretty much unplayable. Fun to compare the two versions!
My main issue is the sag in the middle; the game's probably too long (or rather you have to play the same shorter game too many times) and playing as Oswald caused me to drop the game for two years. Pushing through was worth it in the end, though.

It's pretty great, beautiful 2D art and a charming Norse mythology inspired story. Gameplay feels nice and smooth, I enjoyed playing as every character more or less. Pretty good story with a well developed world.
Does get insanely repetitive unfortunately, I wish the levels were a lot shorter because the gameplay to story ratio is pretty unbalanced. I also found the story a little too minimalistic and exposition-focused for my tastes, so I didn't get particularly invested.
Overall pretty good game though

This game is incredibly long. I dropped it after 15 hours.
The art is beautiful, though a lot of the female characters are designed very similarly. The story is just not for me, its boring and I have to sit there and listen to the characters drone their lines instead of being able to click through text boxes once ive read them.
I loved the combat and it's one of the reasons I think I will come back to it eventually, but the fact that every character has to go through the same goddamn levels makes it mind-numbing.

It’s really great, for like 20 hours. Then it’s pretty good for another 10. Then it’s a chore for another 10. I love the art, the combat is a lot of fun, the leveling system is satisfying, and the storytelling is pretty solid. But it’s just too long. It couldn’t pull its weight by the end and I was really ready for it to be over.
