Vanillaware's 2D action role-playing game Odin Sphere: Leifthrasir for PlayStation 4 has joined the PlayStation Plus Extra catalog.

Inspired by Norse mythology, the sidecrolling beat-em-up was originally co-directed by George Kamitani of Muramasa: The Demon Blade, while the Leifthrasir HD remake features his involvement as producer. The artist's character designs harken back to the visual style of Sega Saturn title Princess Crown.

A live performance of the main theme is streaming on the Atlustube YouTube channel. Excerpts of all music tracks from the original and HD remake soundtrack albums can be sampled on digital music store Ototoy.


From the product page:

Experience the world of Erion as it hurtles towards the end of days as warring kingdoms clash for control in this 2D action RPG. Take control of the magnificently hand-rendered characters in the enchanted realm of Erion, filled with mythical beasts and gargantuan monsters. Five character plots intertwine with each chapter centering on a unique protagonist and their struggles. Choose Refined Mode to play the game with more scenes, new monsters, and an updated battle system. Or, revisit Classic Mode to experience the 2007 version of the game with updated graphics.
