That name sounds familiar..

ah.. The art style looks similar to Muramasa\Dragon's Crown.

A remake of a PS2 Classic.

Vanillaware's got a thing for 2D action\RPG games.

LeCreuset3216d ago

I picked up Odin's Sphere when it first released. Still early in the PS3 era, but late enough where you wouldn't expect them to be dropping PS2 exclusive gems. There were a number of classics releasing under the radar on PS2 around that time, like Persona. Muramasa was a sort of spiritual successor.

Great news, I hope this paves the way for more of Vanillaware's amazing titles like Muramasa and Dragons Crown being ported to new consoles and PC. Their art style is nothing short of breathtaking and their games beautiful.

I hope they will add multiplayer for the remake. Dragon's Crown was awesome for that, and having to play Odin's Sphere, as good as it was on PS2, it just won't be the same.

PlayStation Plus is a secret paradise for RPG fans

From games that digitaltrends DeAngelo Epps has always wanted to play but missed out on, like Odin Sphere, to newer titles that he'd love to re-experience like Yakuza: Like a Dragon, there was enough there to justify diving back in. And those titles aren’t even a small percent of what’s available here. Vanillaware titles, Square Enix games, NIS franchises he’d never even heard of — there’s a whole lot to dig into.

PSPlus is Amazing for RPGs and NIS America, Square Enix and Vanillaware games are perfect for PSPortal.

LG_Fox_Brazil163d ago

Not really a 'secret' but a paradise indeed, I just finished Soul Hackers 2, pretty good, and started Labyrinth of Galleria and I am having a blast. Tons of great RPGs in the PS4/PS5 family

Mr_cheese163d ago

Secret is the click buzzword. Can't have a title without bait these days.

anast163d ago

secret, shadow, hidden

Perfect for playing on the Portal, since rpgs can be such timesinks. For those people who can't stay glued to the TV, it's good to give some freedom around the house, out on the porch or whatever. I haven't picked up a Portal yet, bc of life priorities, but I definitely anticipate picking one up asap and playing more rpgs!

I'm currently playing Final Fantasy VII:Remake for the first time on PS5 and I am freaking blown away by this game so far. I don't know why I waited this long or due to my huge backlog but had to be honest, this game exceeded my expectations.

OtterX163d ago

Yea, story pacing aside, the combat system is pretty killer, especially if you slow it down to play it more like a tactical turned based jrpg!

I actually wish FF16 had gone this route, instead of the DMC route. The FF7:R system gave enough action for those who wanted to play that way, while still appeasing us old school turn based jrpg fans.

Glad you're enjoying!

crazyCoconuts163d ago

Some of the best in game HDR I've ever seen in that game. I liked it a lot too. My first final fantasy game believe it or not

Hot damn those are some high quality games right there. I've been meaning to give 13 Sentinels a go, just haven't had the time to get around to it.

RpgSama239d ago

I had it on my wishlist waiting for a Discount, when I knew I would be close to playing it, so much in my backlog already, might as well try it now.

Also looks at ALL those Star Ocean titles!!!

Einhander1972239d ago

The story is so great especially if you don't know what's going on, When i played it I kept thinking I bet this is "it" no I bet that's "it" no it's got to be this, but "it" wasn't those things in the end.

It's Japanese story telling style at it's finest, lead you along and let you wonder what is actually going on really keeping you engaged to figure out the mystery.

The RTS gameplay I really enjoyed too, my only regret was that there wasn't even more of it!

RpgSama239d ago

LOL,

Who is salty enough to give you 4 dislikes for praising this game?

fr0sty238d ago

Probably why they hiked the price, so there could be better quality games and less shovelware.

notachance238d ago

It's one of the best story ever made in recent years, there's a reason it was nominated the best narrative in 2020's TGA.

Tapani238d ago

I heard 13 Sentinels has a superb story, gotto try it at one point.

I can vouch for Nier Replicant, it has one of the coolest endings I have experience in a game. Took me a while to complete the game fully, but man, it was more than worth it in the end.

nier and star ocean. 14 sentinels, jrpg dream. Even I can't hate on that.

CrimsonWing69239d ago

13 Sentinels is a must play if you haven't. Like, I can't praise enough what an awesome story and set of characters that game has.

monkey602239d ago

Why did they rename Backbone? Strange.

Tips and Tactics: Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir

John Rinyu writes: ''With the release of Vanillaware's 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim around the corner, at the time of this writing, I wanted to try one of the developer's earlier games for myself. After looking over my options, I decided to give Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir a try.''
