Oddmar

Become a true Viking warrior

Oddmar is a paid action game where you play the titular character as he goes on a journey to prove himself as a true Viking warrior and save the people of his village from the nefarious Norse god of chaos, Loki. Throughout your adventures, you will go through wildlands and challenging waters while slaying different creatures.

Oddmar offers the fun gameplay and easy controls of a traditional platformer. It even has a storyline that keeps things interesting. This game's set and character designs are also commendable. Although it is paid, you can still play the first few levels for free.

Charming storyline and familiar controls

Oddmar features a story with beautifully crafted cutscenes accompanied by captivating narrations and background music. The in-game acts are important to understand the storyline, though they don't explain some of the elements and characters in the game. They can also feel drawn out and overwritten to the point that you just want to skip them altogether, which you can do by tapping on the forward button at the upper right corner.

Moreover, the controls are easy to master. Use the on-screen joystick to move your character up, down, left, or right. You can also make him jump by swiping up on the right side of the screen or smash the ground by swiping down. Meanwhile, tapping on the screen enables your character to attack using his weapon. Use these controls to run the course, collect coins, and slay enemies.

Another praiseworthy element of this game is its rich, colorful graphics that make it visually pleasing. The fluid motion of the characters is another pleasant factor since it enables smooth control and transitions. However, these characteristics — along with the controls and gameplay — are also found in other platformers. That means the only thing that sets this game apart from the others is its storyline.

Its story and design are its saving grace

The gameplay may not be too original, but one must give credit to the level of polish that the developers of Oddmar have poured into this game. It comes with amazingly illustrated cutscenes that tell the endearing story of the hero, and its stunning graphics and music are both engaging and beautiful. With its alluring design and solid gameplay, you definitely will enjoy every step of your quest.
