The story, the fast epic battles, the great voice acting. It really is a gem in the rough. Though it did have some flaws I easily put more than 100 hours in the game. When Delta was localized I was very excited. I've played so far about 5 hours and let me tell you this.
   
   If you enjoyed Soul Sacrifice, you will LOVE Delta. Its improves in every single way of SS.
   
   First thing you'll notice is a bump up in resolution. It's still not native but its a really big graphical upgrade. No more rough edges it all looks really clean. The game is absolutely gorgeuous.
   
   Next thing you'll notice is way more depth to offerings. Now you can combine attacks offering way more methods of tackling enemys and just improves the fun ten fold. Not only that but there is also new offerings like the spear! Hard to master weapons but very satisfying to use.
   
   The new monster designs based on Grimm Fairy tales Characters are amazing. Soul Sacrifice never dissapoints in that matter. You will never look at little red riding hood again in the same way. The new level designs are just amazing and now there are more variety of smaller creatures, so no more demon cats and rats everywhere
   
   They now added a new faction to the game called Grim that appeases to those that like to stay neutral. Depending on which faction you are in you will get different offerings meaning everybody is going to have a different inventory of offerings.
   
   The story is still relatively the same, but now you have to do some grim , avalon and Sanctuary sidequest before being allowed to play Magusars arc. These sidequest actually act as a bridgepoint between Sortiara's and Magusars arc, expanding a bit more on the Sorcerer and his interaction with the world and other NEW sorcerers only found in Delta.
   
   Delta is a major improvement over SS in every way. If you got SS free from PS+ and loved it buy Delta now and support the devs
   
   If you bought SS and just liked it not loved it, then wait for price drop. Since its nots a full blown sequel more like a relaunch with a buttload of tweaks and improvements, making it the True SS experience.
   
   For the love of god people ignore ArioX and especially WIzard4en "review". The former probably thought Delta was Soul Sacrifice 2 when Inafune said many many many times it was more lik Soul Sacrifice 1.8 and the latter is just a Monster hunter fanboy enough said.… Expand

   I give this game the highest score for Vita games for good reason. Sony pulled out all the stops when they decided to dip their digits intoI give this game the highest score for Vita games for good reason. Sony pulled out all the stops when they decided to dip their digits into the Monster Hunter-like genre on this one, improving on the original Soul Sacrifice in almost every way. The game is innovative, a lost treasure on an all but dead platform, and one can only hope that Sony returns to this one day to expand upon the amazing world they built within Soul Sacrifice Delta.… Expand

   Definitely a must-have for Vita owners, and not to be missed, though it's easily overlooked. Fans of the monster hunter genre will love thisDefinitely a must-have for Vita owners, and not to be missed, though it's easily overlooked. Fans of the monster hunter genre will love this -- though it doesn't meet the rigor of the verbatim Monster Hunter games, it offers a satisfying experience for those who love a good boss fight.
   
   Starting off, the basic mechanics are solid. Players are offered a diverse range of tactical options, and even if poor or unconventional choices are made in the 'Offering' equipment, basic dodging and pattern mechanics allow for a skilled player to overcome difficulty. Granted, the less capable among us will have to use the defensive options available to us, and Soul Sacrifice is fair in this element. The spell system provides means of dramatically increasing defense, evasion, or healing options, at the cost of offensive potential -- which is further balanced by a durability system for spells, however replenishing these spells is simple enough. Provided you can do so while under attack by your target.
   
   The result is a powerful offensive and defensive combat system that asks you to balance your fight with the maintenance of supply. Exhaust a spell too much without doing so, and you risk losing it for the remainder of the fight.
   
   A note of personal opinion, Soul Sacrifice makes a good choice, as far as monster hunting games are concerned, by removing time limits. If you decide to take on a seemingly impossible boss fight, you can do so as a battle of attrition. Players aren't punished, except by survivability, for taking on difficult missions. You risk losing a hard fight because of genuine failure, not because of an arbitrary time limit, and the inability of the developer to create an appropriately aggressive boss. Survival should be a question of player ability, not timeliness.
   
   Lastly, the story is well-presented for the medium. The plot is hardly groundbreaking, but provides a very genuine, uncomfortable, and dramatic story. English dubs are acceptable, at worst, and excellent in the case of the main narrator. Music is exemplary, and used well.
   
   My rating takes into account a few issues. Firstoff, owners of the non-Delta version are not provided for. It's a different game, purchase-wise. If you disagree with the quality of the English voice acting, there is a Japanese voice option -- at a price. For the sheer amount of pacts, content is reused ad nauseum.
   
   However, I stand by my statement that it is a must-have for Vita owners, and is an excellent game outright -- not in spite of that.… Expand

Al principio no me llamaba la atención, ya que este estilo de juego de "cacería" no suele gustarme; pero la historia es tan buena que estuve pegado a él de principio a fin. Su jugabilidad es sencillamente, genial, su acción Hack and Slash, combinada con la cantidad de magias que puedes equipar lo hacen un juego de ritmo trepidante. El diseño artísitico y los gráficos de los jefes (que son muchos) parece un milagro que sean para una PS Vita, la Banda Sonora es magistral, del genio Yasunori Mitsuda. La única pega que le puedo poner es la variedad y tamaño de los ecenarios, todo lo demás es exelente.… Expand
