I love the art style, I love the way the game moves. It makes me think of a fine retro tune up of old beat'em'up games like Golden Axe. I wish this game were available to play in an arcade machine at a local bar. The story and environments are based in Norse Mythology. Tasty.

What can I say? This game looks neat too! Similar to Eitr, more of a top down perspective. Combos, beating up, neat looking pixelated graphics. My heart warms at the imagery. A dungeon crawler of some kind. I just want to mash some buttons!

This is one of the most retro games I've ever seen. Look at the art style and the stiff animation! Somehow, the embracing of 8-bit limitations and conventions makes me even more keen on trying this game out. Which I can do, because it's available for $15. If I do, rest assured, you will hear about it.

I'm analyzing too much in the gif from Eitr, what with the yellow/gold number appearing above the hammer wielding undead. It almost looks like they're regenerating. I also like the the little screen shake after the warrior's attack, like there's weight to it.
ReplyDeleteWith Odallus, I get a strong Castlevania feeling from the art, level design, and animation with a bit of Faxanadu thrown in for good measure.
Wizard of Legend though, I'm not immediately sold on the gif, but it does warrant further investigation.
