Otaku-san
Chuunibyou
Odin Sphere
This was a new game that I only required a few weeks back, which has only been released to the UK in late march (when in ... said it was going to be released in October last year) though better late then never, and so I thought I'd but a small review and overview on it.
The story is set in the world of Erion, which is split into several regions, Ragnanival,Volkenon, Ringford, Endelphia, Winterhorn Ridge and the forest of Elrit. The story tells of an ill-forgotten prophecy, that if fulfilled will lead to the destruction of their world.
Though the most interesting part is that it is split into five different stories that tell of five hero's, were in one you could be the protagonist in one, and the antagonist in another. While the last story tells of the destruction of the world!
The stories tell of Gwendolyn the Valkyrie, Cornelius the Pooka prince, Mercedes the fairy queen, Oswald the dark night and Velvet the last surviving princess of Valentine.
Another unique entity to this game is that it is done by hand rendered sprites, seen here.
As the images show, they are simply breath taking and splendid to the eye. Since they are sprites, the movement of game play is only liner and the attack sequences are done by waves of enemy's with difficulty skills, but its the shear simplicity that makes this game so unique above the rest.
Plus it has a straight forward plot, so it doesn't need research on stragity guides to find un-lockables
The gaming development was created by Vanillaware and pubilshed by Atlus (Disagea, Truma Centre), though it was distributed by Square Enix for European release. We have have a very interesting line-up for the characters voice roles
Of course these voices can be changed in the options menu if you prefer Japanese with subs
This is a must have if you like anime and manga (which you must do
)
