GungHo Online Entertainment America, a multiplatform publisher for the online gaming community, today confirmed that it will be releasing the visceral action RPG hack and slash title Ragnarok Odyssey, this winter in Europe on the PlayStation Vita system. Ragnarok Odyssey will be available exclusively as digital downloads on the PlayStation Store.
It’s All About Smashing Giants in Ragnarok Odyssey
At its core an expansive, quest-based RPG, Ragnarok Odyssey expands upon the source material of the beloved Ragnarok Online universe and adds an action-packed twist. Famed Lunar and Grandia series developer Game Arts focused specifically on creating a gameplay experience that is equally rewarding as a single player or multiplayer game thanks to an easily changeable job class system and ad-hoc and online cooperative play with friends.
In Ragnarok Odyssey, players will begin the game first by creating a character from over 20,000 possible combinations. After applying physical features, players will then select their character’s play style from a stable of six different classes with which to begin their quest. Upon entering the game’s open world environment, players will be tasked with exploring a realm filled with heavy action, in which giants and humans remain in constant conflict with each other.
Using the game’s adaptable combat system, players can chain their character’s attacks both on the ground and in the air with ravaging combos and deadly blows. Scale and brute force collide in Ragnarok Odyssey – giants can literally be smashed clear across the screen and players are given the option to trade in their health points for a boost in speed in agility to tackle particularly Herculean battles.
