![]() I mainly played using a controller, the Steelseries Nimbus, the controller that Apple themselves promote. At least lives are infinite, and once you know the path it generally isn’t too hard to get through. Some of the auto run sections, where the screen automatically scrolls and you have to keep up, were a bit poorly planned.įor example, if you get a little bit too ahead or behind exactly where you were supposed to go, then it almost guarantees a restart. There are also plenty of checkpoints in case you fall in to a pit or run in to an enemy, and restarts are fast. The Levels are generally fairly straightforward to get through, though like all great platformers to collect all the triangles, coins and bonus Levels will require a good level of dexterity and determination. But it does give you four worlds to explore each with five Levels, and, for almost every platformer that doesn’t concern me terribly. While the story is a bit more involved than your traditional Level-based platformer, it still isn’t much to write home about. On top of that, animations are top notch, and it all runs at a smooth sixty frames per second. On my iPad Pro and iPhone 7 Plus every element was high resolution, and it was only a disappointment that it isn’t available on the Apple TV as well, where I could truly appreciate the art style. Oddmar’s art is luscious, and looks extremely high quality throughout. ![]() What this means is a sumptuous painterly feeling, like concept art has come to life in the actual game. It appears as if the developers have adeptly reverse engineered Ubisoft’s UbiArt framework, used to make the excellent recent Rayman games. It’s stunning and frankly far above almost every other mobile game that I’ve played. ![]() One of the most striking aspects of Oddmar is its presentation. For owners of iPhones or iPads, its an essential addition to your mobile gaming retinue, at least for the short time it takes to complete. Oddmar is a beautiful, traditional 2D platformer that takes some of the best lessons from console platformers and translates it onto Apple’s mobile devices. Between God of War, Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and now Oddmar, the gods of old Scandinavia are hot gaming property. Don’t even hesitate - and you can thank me later.Norse mythology is so in right now. Oddmar has literally satisfied every aspect I look for in a quality game, and while other titles have been completed and then deleted, this one while stand the test of the time. I don’t spend even a handful of dollars unless it’s worth it, and I do my research prior to making any purchase. On top of that, the graphics are top-notch, the music is excellent, the sound effects are on point and the story is original, including the narration on the cut scenes, which also hold their own. As the progression of the game continues on, it goes from learning to mastering, and the replay value of each level is excellent too, being that you will most likely have to replay the later levels to achieve the bonuses received after beating set time goals. The idea behind this style of gaming is perfecting your timing and they programmed this to excel. This title for the iOS platform is by FAR the best out there, and even competes with other systems / classic games of the past, all the way to the latest consoles. I’m a veteran gamer, starting all the way back at the beginning of arcade gaming, and then into Commodore, Atari, Neo Geo, Turbografix 16, Nintendo, Genesis, Playstation, and every console since, all the way up until the latest PS4 Pro and XBox One. ![]() Oddmar supports iCloud game saves and game controllers.Īn internet connection will initially be necessary to complete the download of app data for Oddmar.
