#Oddmar switch upgrade#

Throw in an upgrade system for new weapons, and you have a typical platform game to keep your interest, but to be honest, you don’t need the upgrades as Oddmar is easy enough. While the controls remain the same, the locations spice things up a bit with a few platforming challenges along the way, though they aren’t too taxing. There’s a good variety of levels here, and the artwork differs in each area. That might put off some, however, as the challenge isn’t precisely ‘up there’. At no point does it feel impossible instead, it feels like you’re playing an interactive cartoon as it flows well. It’s relatively easy to get through as you use a few mechanics such as the wall jump to get to a higher level. You don’t have to fight them but instead run away from him, much like Super Meat Boy’s first boss. The first boss you encounter, a troll, was pretty cool.

Each area is made up of a series of levels with the last one being a boss. Anyone familiar with God of War or Marvel’s Thor will recognise names, but there’s no need to dive in deep as it’s the Super Mario World version as the realms are represented by a 2.5D map where you can move Oddmar back and forth to replay levels.

The gaming world is configured as per Norse mythology the nine realms – the first being Asgard. Oddmar doesn’t reinvent the wheel as this is very formulaic platforming action, bouncing from left to right, locating secret areas and collecting currency for power-ups. Thankfully that doesn’t happen too much as Oddmar, while incredibly playable, does feel a little on the rails in that the momentum keeps going and there are few moments where you get stuck and through the controls in frustration. There was never a moment when I thought it was unsuitable playing in front of my family (just the profanities from my mouth hole when I couldn’t get to where I wanted to). Oddmar feels very family-friendly in presentation, and you could say the same about the controls as well. Donkey Kong was missing out on the mushrooms. While the style is different, it does feel like you’re playing a spin-off of a Cartoon Network series of similar and I really bought into the world of smashing barrels and launching off mushrooms. It’s on par with the world of Rayman in terms of animation and artwork.

But all in a wonderfully Saturday morning TV kids show. Armed initially with an axe and shield, he goes on a 2D side-scrolling platform adventure, encountering mythic beasts shrouded in Norse mythology and other bad folks. Only one day, the Chief of the village acknowledges that his lack of input isn’t doing much for the clan and when members of the clan are taken away, Oddmar is instructed with the task of rescuing them and in the process, burn down a forest. He may as well already be in Valhalla as he’s got it good. Other than that other time, but I don’t want to incriminate myself, so on with the review. The graphics are gorgeous, the story enchanting – I’ve never had so much fun controlling a ginger beardo. Beards, trolls, Vikings and beer – what more could a girl want? I wouldn’t know as I don’t identify as one, but I will let you in on a little secret: Oddmar had me at heil og sæl.
