Odin Sphere is a side-scrolling action game with RPG elements, featuring a combination of 2D and 3D graphics. The game was designed as a spiritual successor to Princess Crown , and features the same kind of modular animation system, allowing for extremely smooth and varied motion for even the largest characters.
The gameplay is action-packed with real-time battles in circular areas, where players can collect items and experience points to level up their character. Defeating enemies also rewards players with seeds that grow into fruit as they absorb Phozons released by defeated foes. These Phozons can be absorbed by the character to power up their weapon.
The game features 5 distinct playable characters, each with their own storyline intertwined into one epic tale loosely based on Richard Wagner's Der Ring des Nibelungen . The story follows the characters as they navigate through a fantasy world filled with mythical creatures and challenging enemies.
Odin Sphere was released for the Playstation 2 on March 14, 2008, offering a unique blend of action and RPG elements that will appeal to fans of the genre.

Manual
Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
This is a fantasy action-adventure game where players control five warriors to prevent a prophecy of despair. You navigate interconnected stages on a world map, battling enemies, defeating bosses, and exploring to uncover the map layout. The core gameplay involves clearing stages of enemies, with movement between stages and opportunities to rest or purchase items.
Story
Prologue
There exists an ancient prophecy...
"The beast of despair feeds on man and destroys hope. The unleashed frenzy of death yearns for the light of life. The advancing inferno scorches the throne's surroundings. In the Cauldron that breathes despair, the blood of the ancients boils. When leventhan, last of the dragons, devours the stone of blood, the path shall be closed and void will cover the world."
And so begins the tale of five warriors...
Regions
Using the World Map
Various regions are depicted on the world map. Each region is made up of battle stages, boss stages, and rest stages, which are arranged differently from region to region.
Unless you find a map as you explore the region, you will not be able to see how all the region's stages are connected.
Stages
You complete a stage by annihilating all enemies on that stage. You can advance to a different stage via a junction point.
Each stage is like a loop. If you go far enough left or right, you'll end up in the same spot you started in.
After defeating all enemies on a stage, one or more exits will appear, allowing you to move to a different stage.
•
To do so, stand where "EXIT" is displayed, tilt the left analog stick up, and press the X button.
Region Map
After completing a stage, you can check the region map by pressing the L1 button.
•
Sub-boss: A foe that is stronger than your typical adversaries.
•
Main boss: The toughest adversary in the region. Defeating this boss will advance the story to the next chapter.
•
Rest stage: A stage with no enemies. You can converse with others or purchase goods from the vendors.
•
Stage difficulty: The number of stars indicates how difficult the stage is.
•
Bonus treasure: An item earned by completing the stage. A higher ranking may grant you additional items as well.
•
Current location: The stage that the main character is currently in.
