Ragnarok Odyssey (ラグナロクオデッセイ) is a role-playing video game for the PlayStation Vita system. It is based on the universe of the MMORPG Ragnarok Online, containing many elements of Norse mythology. It was released in February 2012 within Japan, August 21st, 2012 in South Korea, October 30, 2012 in North America and February 20, 2013 in Europe.

An Updated version called Ragnarok Odyssey Ace was announced for Playstation Vita and Playstation 3.[7]

Ragnarok Odyssey has sold over 100,000 copies in Japan.[8]

Gameplay

Ragnarok Odyssey is a real-time Action RPG in similar vein to the series, Monster Hunter. The game retains many elements typical of RPGs, such as item collecting, health and magic, item collecting / crafting, interaction with NPCs and a class system but no leveling system. Missions in Odyssey are received at guild halls and usually consist of collecting items or killing enemies.

There are 6 interchangeable classes players may pick from; the Sword Warrior, Hammersmith, Mage, Assassin, Hunter and Cleric with their own individual advantages and weaknesses. Instead of a typical leveling system, Odyssey uses a Card System. Cards can be equipped to a character's clothing / armor to provide statistic boosts and class-specific abilities. Upgraded clothing / armor can have an increased Card Capacity and hence can equip higher cost / additional cards. Cards are found in shops or dropped by defeated enemies.

Ragnarok Odyssey Ace

Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is an updated version of Ragnarok Odyssey and will be developed for Playstation Vita and Playstation 3. This new version of the game will contain: all the DLC from the original game, new enemies, new skills, new dungeons like the Yggdrasil Tower with single and multiplayer modes, new HUD, new gameplay balance adjustment and an extra episode after the ending. the first print copies of the game will include various in-game bonus.[9][10] It's also possible to import save data from the original game to use them in Ragnarok Odyssey Ace.[11]

The release date for the Playstation Vita version is August 29, 2013 in Japan.[12]

Nobuo Uematsu helped create new OST for Ragnarok Odyssey Ace.[13]

Reception

Odyssey has received mixed but mostly positive reviews from critics with a Metacritic score, an average combination of reviews 66 out of 100,.[14] The most positive of reviews came from Destructoid's Jim Sterling who gave the game a 9/10.[15] Sterling praised the game's visuals, calling it the best looking Vita game to date, fast loading screens, customization, tight controls and subtle use of the touchscreen. Odyssey was given a 32/40 score in Famitsu.[16]
