First released on PC, and ported to Nintendo Switch earlier this year, Odallus: The Dark Call has been met with critical acclaim for its relentless challenge and faithful homage to classic gameplay:

Defunct Games – “A phenomenal adventure that everybody should play… even more proof that JoyMasher is a developer we should all be paying attention to”

Rock Paper Shotgun – “Grotesque, gorgeous and grim, Odallus is one of the best games from an alternate eighties that I wish I’d been a part of”

The Switch Effect – “Not only is Odallus an excellent throwback to old-school NES days, but it’s just a downright amazing game”
