    Odallus: The Dark Call is a great adventure game that hearkens back to the 8-bit era. Combat is fun, and there's a good balance to the difficulty; bosses, save for the final one, can be defeated once you know their patterns.

    Regardless of a few minor gripes, Odallus: The Dark Call is a worthy addition to any metroidvania fan's library and is worth the asking price.

    Odallus gives players a sense of nostalgia while bringing it’s own flavour to the table. This medieval fantasy game is challenging, pretty, and most importantly, fun.

    Strong on nostalgia and challenge, Odallus is a title that will obviously be appreciated by those who loved the NES era, and enjoy technical gameplay and inspired pixel art.

    Odallus manages to capture the 8-bit feeling of early Castlevania games, without resorting in simple copy-paste techniques. On the other hand it could be benefited from more stages and a more firm decision over how difficult or easy it wants to be.

    Odallus is a game that wants to bring back the feeling of the first Castlevania but that's it. There's no innovation here, just the good ol' gameplay and MSX visuals. If that's what you want, it won't disappoint.

    Consider me shocked. I was NOT expecting this game to be amazing. Yet. OMG it is.
    A lot of games claim to be retro and fail in many aspects.    Consider me shocked. I was NOT expecting this game to be amazing. Yet. OMG it is.
    A lot of games claim to be retro and fail in many aspects. I'm proud to say that I'm HOOKED on this game. It takes me back to the SNES days with a feeling of bliss that I can't even describe. You need this game in your collection. GO Go Go!    … Full Review »

    Um ponto que me surpreendeu nesse jogo foi a sua história, ela é complexa, sendo apresentada por diálogos e runas escondidas nos mapas; oUm ponto que me surpreendeu nesse jogo foi a sua história, ela é complexa, sendo apresentada por diálogos e runas escondidas nos mapas; o universo criado é rico, interessante e sombrio.

    Os mapas do jogo são complexos e apresentam um bom desafio para encontrar todos os itens, que melhoram os atributos do protagonista ou contam a história do mundo no qual o jogo se desenvolve.

    O design dos mapas, inimigos e do protagonista é muito bom, e passa bem o clima sombrio da aventura.

    Os inimigos apresentam um bom desafio, alguns chefes são complicados, mas o jogo apresenta um desafio menor que Oniken (da mesma empresa), porem os responsáveis pelo jogo já prometeram um modo de jogo mais difícil ( fonte: destructoid).

    A trilha sonora é muito boa e cumpre bem o seu papel, combinando com a área explorada no momento.

    Não constatei bugs enquanto jogava, palmas para os desenvolvedores.    … Full Review »
