Odallus is a NES inspired exploration game with lots of action. It brings elements of classics such as Ghosts’n Goblins, Demon’s Crest and Castlevania while subverting some modern twists. The old Gods have forsaken our people. In despair, we have fallen prey of those thirsty for power, human or otherwise. Villages were destroyed, children were slain and brother fought against brother. Living things that do not lust for power were reduced to a mere pursuit for survival. Haggis was once a soldier that has long abandoned the battlefield and now must take the sword once again to protect his loved ones.
