RAGNAROK ODYSSEY
2 cert, GungHo, PS Vita
A giddy mix of influences and genres,
Ragnarok Odyssey
is
part Norse mythology, part-medieval and part-Manga-influenced. It's a strange beast about the killing of strange beasts. You play as a customised warrior
in a world where humans and giants are constantly at odds. Hone your skills, take on smaller monsters and make your way to becoming a giant slayer. There are shades of
God of War
and
Shadow of the Colossus
in this role-playing game
, mainly in the third-
person hack-and-slash combat. The PS Vita is a good home for it, allowing you to instantly communicate with other players who can pitch in on the campaign and battles. The menus are,
plentiful and complex, but
also clear and managea
ble. The story and characters could have more substance, but it's an attractive, playable title. For an RPG on a portable device you could do much, much worse.
