Odallus the dark call review
Plot
An army of demons burn Haggis's village and take his son; Haggis goes into action to defeat them.
Gameplay
Odallus is an action-adventure platform game similar to Castlevania and Metroid. The player controls Haggis, who can run, jump, and use his weapon, initially a weak sword. Haggis can upgrade his equipment and abilities by finding items hidden throughout the various levels. He can then revisit previous levels to overcome obstacles and find additional secrets. Each level contains a boss that becomes easier to reach when the player uncovers secret shortcuts. Haggis can also acquire subweapons such as axes, torches, etc., which have a limited number of uses, indicated in the game's HUD.
Reception

Destructoid gave the game 9/10, saying, "Odallus: The Dark Call is a worthy addition to any metroidvania fan's library and is worth the asking price.". USGamer also recommended the game. Worthplaying scored Odallus 9/10 and concluded, "Fans who adore adventure games of [the classic] console era should definitely grab Odallus." The game received an 8/10 from CGMagazine, who called it "frustrating at times, thanks to the level of difficulty", but nevertheless recommended the game.
