Odin Sphere Leifthrasir Review

Pros
Pro The action is nonstop and feels great
Combat is really the main draw to Odin Sphere. Yes, it has a good story, yes, the graphics are great, but combat is where it really shines.
Along with the slew of weapons you'll get, you also have access to two different types of skills: action skills and phozon (magic) skills. The great thing about Odin Sphere is that you're able to switch from regular weapon attacks, to action skills, to phozon skills, and back in any order you determine necessary. This allows you to rack up ridiculously cool looking combos and attain higher ranks at the end of battle, which means better loot!
Pro Runs incredibly smoothly on 1080p at 60 fps
While this may not seem like a huge deal to some, for those that played the original on PS2 it's a marked step up. The original was chuggy, a little choppy and slow; the remake is a huge improvement.
This especially helps with making the combat look great - with Odin Sphere's already wide range of weapons and magic, the extra animations and artwork you'll be able to see are simply beautiful.
Cons
Con The voice acting falls a bit short
There are a couple of great performances in the game, but overall it feels a little stale. You can, however, switch to the Japanese voices if you like, which deliver a great performance all around.
