Sacred Odyssey has already drawn a lot of comparisons to Nintendo's The Legend of Zelda franchise, and although many elements from Zelda are certainly present (everything from boomerangs to gigantic tree spirits), the game is at its core an action-RPG that takes inspiration from numerous sources to deliver a fantasy adventure that works surprisingly well on the iOS platform.
Pocket Gamer: If Nintendo had £1 for every game that tried to copy The Legend of Zelda, it would probably be around £15 better off.
Still, anyone who has ever so much as read the back of a Zelda game box will get a sense of deja vu as the story of Sacred Odyssey gets going. It stars an unlikely hero rising to save the world for a beautiful princess, and contains swords, horse riding, and puzzly dungeons.
Chris Buffa (Modojo): These days, almost everyone owns a smart phone, even diehard Nintendo fans that need a break from their DS or 3DS systems to enjoy a few rounds of Angry Birds and Fruit Ninja.
Mobot: I'm a bit of a gamer and I got an Apple iPad a while back, so I really wanted to see what it could do in terms of games. Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden looked like a very interesting title so I decided to give it a bash.
Now, RPGs aren't usually my bag, so I went into this review with a bit of trepidation. You see, I'm not one for the gaming grind, I prefer instantaneous gratification in the form of head shots and grisly death.
