With "Odin Sphere," UBI Soft brings another title from the renowned Japanese game developer "Square Enix" in the style of Final Fantasy to the German market.
The game delivers an elaborately illustrated world to the home console, which is explored through an intuitive control system. In the fantasy world of Odin Sphere, the threads of five independent stories are woven together to tell a legend of power, love, and loss.
The Story
The nation of Erion has always been held together by an uneasy peace. The various kings and queens watch each other closely, searching for signs of weakness. When the kingdom of Valentine is destroyed by the power of an ancient artifact, a bloody war breaks out between the elves of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Few know that this marks the beginning of a long-forgotten prophecy—one that, if fulfilled, will seal the end of the entire world. The player takes control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn, daughter of Odin, and follows the plot of an intricate tale. This reveals the truth behind the prophecy—and how to bring it to an end.
