Odin Sphere is a 2D side-scrolling action RPG that blends gorgeous hand-drawn visuals, Shakespearean storytelling, and real-time combat into a deeply emotional and artistic experience. Developed by Vanillaware, this game is renowned for its painterly art style, intertwined character narratives, and mythology-inspired fantasy world.

It draws heavily from Norse mythology, fairy tales, and tragedy-driven epics, telling five intersecting stories that revolve around war, love, destiny, and the end of the world — the apocalyptic event known as the Armageddon.
