I can forgive this in some respect, as your character can grab ledges and pull himself up and the game is kind enough not to take away one of your lives when you make a mistake in these troublesome situations. This is not helped when you encounter some of the more difficult levels, which become somewhat tedious when failure means starting that section over again. Jumping and moving in either direction does take some mastering, and even for hardcore players, it can be an irritating chore. I did, however, find the controls for jumping and maneuvering while airborne to be a little clunky. There’s some great exploration to experience, as the levels are massive with multiple paths to take, and hidden rewards to find.
Much of the game engages players with platformer style gameplay, traversing to various points in the leve via jumping, swimming, destroying false walls, and walking, lots of walking. The mechanics are easy to learn, and many aspects of the game rely on how quickly you learn and develop your tactics to fight enemies.
This is made even better by an energetic and rather a catchy soundtrack that beautifully captures the sense of the era too. Bosses and NPCs look particularly awesome, and the use of pixilation and colouring bring an intense and rich atmosphere that’s dripping with an 80s vibe. Odallus keeps it to the point and adds in some cool concepts, involving demonology, faith, and even at merchant that discusses the outrageous economy in the game and the price of housing.īut what is most striking about Odallus is its beautiful 8bit style graphics that hold a high amount of detail in the design of the game world and its characters. Unless you’re Rocksteady, and you slightly ruin the Batman lore. Game designers didn’t have the creative flare for writing that we know now. This is indeed a brilliant homage to the style of writing from that era. Badass Holy Warrior + Mega Evil Dudes + Lots of 80s violence = Story
