A PlayStation remake of the PC Engine-CD JRPG, Startling Odyssey.

The game's graphics have been completely redone in high resolution 2D, with enhanced anime-style sequences. Battle system has also been redone, featuring isometric perspective and a system that allows the heroes to learn and level up affinities to various elements.
