I have to admit that I didn’t grow up with Nintendo, as I just didn’t own one when I was in high school. I know that shows how old I am, but I remember the Atari 2600. I missed the era of Ghosts’n Goblins, Demon’s Crest, and Castlevania, and I believe that Odallus: The Dark Call pays homage to these games.

When I played Odallus on Steam, and it is one of those games that is a side-scroller, and you are going through some dungeon-like atmosphere and kill bad guys. On the way, you can pick up thinks to help you on the way, like keys and food and stuff.

I believe the description of this genre is an exploration/action game, and you play a warrior named Haggis. Yeah, that is a Scottish dish, which shows that this is kind of a tongue-and-cheek take on these classic games.

I will have to say that I found this game is hard, as I had to do the jump and attack on my keyboard, and I just kept getting them mixed up. I can only give myself a certain amount of time to test video games, but I wish I had more time to master this one.

You should be able to purchase Odallus: The Dark Call for about $14.99 on Steam.
