Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden… coming February 3

Gameloft will be releasing their Action RPG, Sacred Odyssey this week for iPhone… with the iPad version following shortly after.

“Plunge into the most ambitious Action RPG ever released on iOS. Become Ayden, a young hero chosen by the god Uryah to save the kingdom of Lasgalen from the Apocalypse. Sacred Odyssey: Rise of Ayden is an incredible adventure set in a majestic world that will captivate you for countless hours.”

A new trailer has been released showing more in-game action, and to be honest, even more similarities with Zelda. Including a boomerang puzzle sequence.

Features of the game include:

• The peace of the world is now being threatened. Reunite the 4 fragments of Uryah’s Grail and gain the supernatural powers needed to defeat Amonbane, the dark lord at the heart of Lasgalen’s suffering.

• Ride your horse, Miya, across the expansive plains of the kingdom and launch powerful sword strikes as you gallop through fields of enemies. Your journey will introduce you to an array of locations and fiery foes.

• Defeat evil creatures in the Plains of Urvale, fend off enormous bosses in the icy Temple of Altemagus and the volcanic Firepitch Keep to ultimately face Amonbane himself in the royal halls of Kivira Castle.

• Begin your journey with a simple sword, acquiring new weapons and abilities along the way. Soon, you will wield the Sacred Shield, Locrian Hawk (boomerang), the Nagual Cobra (grappling hook) and even the platinum Gauntlet of Brakor.

• Each new piece of equipment will grant you access to new areas, new techniques and greater danger. They will even help you to overcome the many enigmas and challenges you face.

We’ll have a review up as soon as we can, these games tend to be pretty big so bear with us. So stay tuned to see if Gameloft can go toe-to-toe with Crescent Moon’s Aralon.

    I don’t think this is a Zelda-like game

    I’d be really interested in your opinion of the free to try, in app purchase mechanism Gameloft is using for this game. It seems like the ideal situation by offering a trial, but I’d be interested to see if there is any down sides. Do they constantly nag you to buy in the trial version? Is the in app purchase always associated with your account if you delete the game and redownload? Does the in app purchase simply unlock the game or do you have to download a bunch more stuff?

    First, Sacred Odyssey is not really an actionRPG — no more than GTA is an RPG. There are no stats, no character skills, no leveling, etc. The is basically an action/adventure with some level of semi-open world exploration

    To answer ltcommander’s questions:

    1) The full version is mentioned only in the main menu and at the end of the lite version. All in all there’s about 10 minutes of play in the lite.

    2) Yes, the IAP is associated with the account and can be redownloaded without additional cost.

    3) The IAP unlocks the full game, period.
