Ragnarok Odyssey Coming To North America For PS Vita

If you've longed for some high-octane, fast-paced RPG action set within the Ragnarok Online universe, then Ragnarok Odyssey for the PSV will be right up your alley. XSeed Games announced today that the action-heavy RPG will be landing on North American retail shelves later this year.

Ken Berry, Executive Vice President of XSeed Games commented in the press release, saying...

“Ragnarok Odyssey is an amazing game that players have recognized through its position as one of the best-selling PSVita titles in Japan,” ... “To be able to offer this game, which has been the most requested title by our fans for some time now, is very rewarding and speaks to the level of quality we are committed to delivering to the players.”

The highlight of Ragnarok Odyssey is that the game mirrors Gunstar Heroes meets Monster Hunter with a dash of God of War. The concept sees players taking their band of heroes across the land to face down some of the biggest, baddest monsters and giants ever.

The combat system relies on a very robust combo system, enabling gamers to string together devastating attacks against massive foes, as well as utilizing the game's ad hoc feature where up to four-players can simultaneously and cooperative work together to beat bosses and bad guys using special maneuvers and killer attacks.

The gameplay in Ragnarok Odyssey seems pretty intense, and fans of the original MMO will probably be interested in picking up a copy later this year for the PS Vita.
