GungHo Online Entertainment, the parent company of Ragnarok Online developer Gravity, keeps trying to bring the popular MMORPG series offline. They created a Nintendo DS action RPG and a PSP strategy RPG. Ragnarok Odyssey mashes the mythology from Ragnarok Online with the thriving hunting genre on PlayStation Vita. I played Ragnarok Odyssey and compared to Monster Hunter this game is more action packed with flashy special moves.
The game has six different classes: sword warrior, hunter, hammersmith, assassin, mage, and cleric.
Ragnarok Odyssey is slated for release in Japan on February 2, which will give it a jump on the inevitable wave of portable hunting games. Unless another company throws their a Vita card in the ring, Lord of Apocalypse, a PlayStation Vita launch title, will be its main competition for the ad-hoc multiplayer crown.
