About this game

Odallus is a NES inspired exploration game with lots of action. It brings elements of classics such as Ghosts’n Goblins, Demon’s Crest and Castlevania while subverting some modern twists.

Pros & Cons

Pros

Old-school pixel art uses an NES-era visual presentation.
Interconnected areas contain upgrades and hidden secrets to discover.
Difficult combat and platforming follow an old-school design.
A bleak gothic setting creates a grim, oppressive atmosphere.
Soundtrack and sound design complement the dark retro presentation.

Cons

Abrupt difficulty spikes and enemy placement leave little room for error.
Movement, attacks, and hit detection can feel stiff or imprecise.
Exploration involves backtracking and occasionally unclear progression.
The campaign is relatively short for an exploration-focused adventure.

Pros & Cons are AI-assisted summaries, not our own playthrough reviews. Sources and how we make recommendations.
