Game description: The nations of Erion had always held an uneasy peace as the various kings and queens watched each other for any signs of weakness. When the country of Valentine is obliterated by the power of an ancient artifact it sparks a bloody war between the fairies of Ringford and the warriors of Ragnanival. Little do they know that they are acting out an almost-forgotten prophecy: one that if fulfilled will lead to the destruction of the entire world. Take control of the warrior princess Gwendolyn: daughter of Odin, and follow the threads of an intricately woven story as you uncover the truth behind the prophecy - and how to bring it to an end. Five playable characters: each one's fate is intertwined with the others'. A robust cooking and alchemy system that can be used to create powerful attack and recovery items.
Odin Sphere has five stories. The protagonist of each story is connected to the royalty of each of five warring nations in the world of Erion. Each of these protagonists wields a 'Psypher', a weapon with a large crystal capable of absorbing 'Phozons', energy sparks released when something (such as an enemy) is slain. These five stories overlap and interconnect and the protagonist of one story may be the antagonist of another.
