Odallus Review

  • Odallus
  • Developer: Joymasher
  • Publisher: Digerati
  • Switch, PC

Odallus is definitely the more ambitious of Joymasher’s two retro style games. In contrast to Oniken’s discrete levels and eclectic sci-fi aesthetic, Odallus brings a sprawling map, RPG elements, and a grotesque gothic art direction. The map branches into different paths, and each stage has several passages to take and items that open up new ones. The heavy atmosphere is delightful, but the sprawling approach overreaches and creates an uneven game.

  • Momodora: Reverie Under the Moonlight
  • Developer: Bomb Service
  • Publisher: Dangen Entertainment
  • Switch, PS4, Xbox One, PC

The Momodora Diaries are a chronicle through Momodora Under the Moonlight.

I found the new way. A strange underwater prison area. Its real dark, and can only be illuminated but a small item. Seems like a mostly meaningless gimmick but does add to the atmosphere. There’s a weird use of the water to let you use infinite jumps for exploration. It leads to an interesting area with instant death spikes that require careful timing. I’m glad I have the air dash otherwise this would be a lot harder.
