You can tell ODIN: Valhalla Rising’s mobile and Asian roots everywhere. There are autoplay functions, a lot of repetitive gameplay, a gacha system, pay-to-win elements, revealing outfits combined with breast physics, and other annoyances.

Additionally, mobile users complain about technical issues and high hardware requirements. The relatively low 3.7 out of 5 stars on Google Play as well as in the App Store reflect this. On the plus side, however, are impressive technology for a mobile MMORPG, the complex skill system, and the intuitive controls.

Just based on the gacha and pay-to-win elements and the autoplay feature, ODIN: Valhalla Rising earns a “high” rank in this ranking. You can find some alternatives for your mobile device in this list: The 10 best mobile MMORPGs 2025 for iOS and Android
