It was still an annoyance though, and even after playing through the majority of the game, I still couldn’t get the hang of swiping without closing the game occasionally. Luckily this never did cause me to lose any fights, despite it happening at some of the worst times. Swiping up is a huge part of the game, but if you’re not perfectly accurate, you can close the game in the middle of an intense fight. The only gameplay problem I found with Oddmar is that the controls didn’t seem to take into account the iPhone X design. However, afterthis had continued for a few days, I deleted and reinstalled the game and going forward it was entirely bug-free. When I first downloaded the game, it would crash every time I attempted to play the second level. There were very few faults within Oddmar. The cutscenes also had a style separate from the gameplay graphics, and while the cutscenes tended to go on for a while, you could speed through them if you wanted to (which I’ll admit that I sometimes did). Each character, monster, and forest creature had distinct designs and animations that added personality. In addition to incredibly enjoyable gameplay, the graphics were fantastic. Some levels also have special purple mushroom mini-levels, which often have either difficult puzzles or the added element of time (as an enemy chases you). There are also specific challenges in each level that will draw you back in-from finding hidden tokens within the level to replaying the level until you beat the average completion time. You can play for an hour straight or for a few minutes, and have a rewarding experience either way. The levels in Oddmar are the perfect length for a mobile game, and there are checkpoints in case you have to quickly close your phone or if you find a section of the game particularly difficult to get through. In some levels, you’ll also be joined by forest creatures (such as squirrels and pigs) that allow dashing or double/triple jumping, changing up the gameplay a bit. In addition, the puzzles in the game get harder incrementally–including one puzzle involving buttons and levers I just had to stare at for a few minutes in order to figure out. In the first few levels, gameplay relies mostly on hopping from place to place, but you gain new abilities and weapons over time that grant you more control in your fighting, from throwing spears to freezing your enemies. When the people of his village go missing soon after this dream, it is up to Oddmar to find his fellow villagers and bring them home safely. In this same dream, a fairy appears and gifts him a magical mushroom that allows him the ability to jump. In a dream, Oddmar finds that he is not worthy of a place in Valhalla. Oddmar is a small, outcast member of his Viking society. What I found was a cute and captivating platformer with hours of gameplay potential. Generally, the game can be beaten in about two and a half hours, which is kind of short for the price, though I'd say the high level of polish, quality touchscreen controls, and amusing story make up for the short length.With the influx of Viking games that have been popping up recently, I was curious as to what Oddmar would offer that may set itself apart from other games on the market.
To do this, you'll have to traverse 24 draw-droppingly gorgeous levels while also solving a few physics-based puzzles and platforming challenges. The gameplay revolves around controlling a Viking who's looking to redeem himself in the eyes of his clan so that he can earn his place in Valhalla. Amazingly these touchscreen controls work much better than they should, but sadly there is no support for physical controllers for those that prefer something more tactile.
The left side of the screen is used to control your horizontal movement, and the right side of the screen is used for jumping. If you've played the developer's previous game Leo's Fortune, then you should have a good feel for how the controls work in this release. After the first chapter is completed, users will have the opportunity to pay $4.99 to unlock the rest of the game through an in-app purchase. The first chapter is available at no cost so we can each get a feel for how the game plays on our particular devices before spending any money.
