Odallus: The Dark Call

Just like the visuals, the music is very much NES-inspired. While the chiptune music is all right it certainly isn't as catchy as the music found in actual games available for the NES. Sound effects are seemingly more Genesis-influenced, as they sound more realistic and are often times brief voice clips much like Splatterhouse's effects. Odallus does nothing extraordinary in the audio department but what it does do works well enough.

Odallus isn’t as easy as it seems. Much like classic games, there are no cheats to get you unstuck, no mods to avoid death, nothing; you have to rely on your own skill or call up a friend for help.

Sí, Odallus: The Dark Call es moderadamente divertido, sobre todo si provienes de la época de MSX y NES –los más jóvenes quizás no entiendan la gracia de fondo en este homenaje-. Su pequeño fallo está en que al igual que los gráficos, la jugabilidad está muy restringida y no da un paso por innovar o hacer algo diferente, con lo que pierde siempre en cualquier comparación con los originales.
