- Game Art seeks to create a title that'll give Monster Hunter a run for its money. Though it's not quite there, it's a very solid first attempt to an exclusive title that should continue to grace the PlayStation Vita.
Timothy Nunes · Nov 30, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - The four player co-op option is great if you’re looking for something to play with friends but what keeps this game from being really great is repetition. As accessible and fun as the combat is, the gameplay is far too repetitive. So in the end, Ragnarok Odyssey falls a little short from being considered one of those “must have” games for your PS Vita.
Shad Forsyth · Nov 09, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Ultimately, Ragnarok Odyssey is a game that’s painfully mediocre and flawed at its very core. It’s wrapped in a fairly respectable combat system and sparkled up with an incredible opening cinematic, but those things can’t make up for the sheer tedium of playing through the same areas and fighting the same monsters over and over again. If you have any respect whatsoever for the world or lore of Ragnarok Online, please don’t soil it by picking up this endless grind-fest.
Josh Wirtanen · Nov 08, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Ragnarok Odyssey falls short in a few areas, but there is still enough quality gameplay to encourage you to persevere through the repetitive missions and slow character progression system. Fans of the RPG genre in particular should check out this title, while everyone else might want to adopt a more cautious attitude before approaching.
Nathan Michalik · Nov 07, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - As I said in my opening statement, Ragnarok Odyssey is a Vita game that you need to pick up and enjoy, because it is one of the best experiences on Sony’s handheld yet. Sure the game has some frustrating moments and can become a bit repetitive, but it delivers intense action, smooth visuals, and an online experience that will have you coming back for more. It’s not Monster Hunter but who cares, it’s good!
Cameron Teague · Nov 05, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - I can’t begin to tell you how much I wanted to like Ragnarok Odyssey. It was one of the PlayStation Vita games I was most looking forward to. But when all of its deficits stack up on one another, Ragnarok Odyssey comes precariously close to being a bad game. It starts out fun, quickly falls into an endless loop, and never goes anywhere. That’s a huge problem.
Colin Moriarty · Oct 30, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - For all its missteps as an action-RPG, it is simply flawless as an example of how to make a Vita experience work. Judicious use of touchscreen controls, beautiful visuals, a smartly broken-up mission structure and eerily swift loading times make this the gold standard for Sony's portable.
Jim Sterling · Oct 30, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Ragnarok Odyssey rules; it’s just that simple. It’s an action RPG for folks who not only love the genre, but have been burned by them in the past. The pace is quick and the game is complex, but not hard to learn. It appears that Game Arts made this to appeal to more than just a niche audience, and the game is much better for it.
Jeremy Peeples · Oct 29, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - With repetitive gameplay, many occasions where you have to grind, a not-so-balanced difficulty curve and less than stellar graphics, Ragnarok Odyssey Ace is definitely not a stand out in the monster-and-boss-hunting RPG genre. That said, it still may offer a bit of fun to the hardcore enthusiast, or those with a lot of time on their hands.
Vardas · Oct 20, 2012 Reviewed on VitaRead full review - Though Ragnarok Odyssey is a dumbed-down RPG that won't please stat-fiends, it's still pretty great at what it does

About the game
Trailers & Screenshots:
Ragnarok Odyssey is set in an original world based on Norse mythology where a battle is being waged between humans and giants after the fall of the gods had previously separated the races. Players create their characters from over 20,000 possible combinations based on customizable physical features, then select one of six specialized job classes. The game’s real-time battles are fast and furious as players can fling enemies skyward, follow them into the air for gravity-defying strikes, then finish off the combo by smacking them clear across the stage. Gameplay is driven forward by story-advancing and optional quests, and up to four players can fight together in online co-op mode.
