Using powers from the magical forest, Oddmar embarks on a quest to rid the forest of evil beasts, find the villagers, and enter Valhalla. However, when the inhabitants of Oddmar’s village go missing, he’s given the chance to prove his worth. In a tale chock-full of beautifully rendered cutscenes, Oddmar tells the story of a young viking – sluggish, selfish, and entirely unworthy of entering the grand kingdom of Valhalla. Our original review, written in May 2018, is presented in its entirety below. This update is purely to say if you didn’t play Oddmar at the time, or have never heard of it, well, you’ve now heard of it, and you should play it. It feels like a hand-drawn Astrix cartoon and we still love it for it. It’s perfectly priced for what is a solid, IAP-less platformer whose graphics are pure bliss. Because we found upon revisiting it that Oddmar is even rarer than we first considered. But since we first reviewed it, its value – like a fine scotch – has only improved. So what’s new? A couple bug fixes aside, the developers have left Oddmar untouched. Update! Nearly three years on, we thought it was time to revisit this award-winning platformer. Don’t even hesitate - and you can thank me later.A playful, clear and straightforward platformer 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.
