(Norse) God-fucking-dammit.
Odin Sphere is next in line to receive an HD remake, which excites and frustrates me all the same! I picked up Odin Sphere when it first dropped on the PS2, admittedly because of it's beautiful art. The hand drawn environments and sprites were so alluring on the pages of my GameInformer magazine and even turned out to surpass this beauty in motion. I didn't have too much experience with side-scrolling dungeon crawlers but as a fan of action-RPGs I grew to love the battle system and absolutely loved the alchemy system (I'm actually a huge sucker for games that allow me to channel my inner potion-brewing witch). But the battle system's sudden and sharp increases of difficulty (leading to many-a cheap kill) turned me away from the game...
