    • “+/- The story is highly original, if you can make some sense of it that is...”
    • “Copper Odyssey is a really cool non-linear RPG with combat mechanics that are similar to Shin Megami Tensei, but also with a very bizarrely told story and a colorful, but hard to navigate world.”

    • “Copper Odyssey is a really cool non-linear RPG with combat mechanics similar to Shin Megami Tensei, combined with a very bizarrely told story and a colorful, but hard to navigate world.”
    • “Later on, the enjoyment comes from knowing how to utterly break the game's gameplay and progression almost immediately, ignoring the original intended challenge.”
    • “It was clear there were deeper combat mechanics going on here, but little about it was really explained and I never felt the need to actually figure it out since smashing my way through fights seemed to work just fine.”
    • “The game has some collision bugs and could really use some sort of tutorial or clarification on combat mechanics, but I still was able to figure it out enough to beat the game.”

    • “You might not think that spending a couple hours with some cat(?) guy(?) thing that has the top of his head missing would be enough to generate any interest in him, but by the end you will realize that you like all of these... people, we'll call them, because they have a genuine humor to them, and they all stand out.”
