Odin Sphere already has a couple of things going for it: the artwork is simply amazing – it’s [...]

Not much to say on this right now beyond the fact that I’m burning through this – the gameplay is not hard at all except that you just need to make sure that you have a healer with a lot of spell point revival items along for the ride.
