Odallus

Developer JoyMasher has partnered with Digerati to bring two of its retro-inspired games to Switch next month.

The two games in question are Oniken: Unstoppable Edition and Odallus: The Dark Call, both of which arrive on the console on 8th February (other platforms are getting it later in the year). You'll be able to snag 20% off each game at launch, and owning one will always grant you access to 10% off the other one.

But we're getting ahead of ourselves; here's a quick look at each one to help you decide whether or not they're for you:

Oniken: Unstoppable Edition

In a post-apocalyptic future controlled by a sinister corporation, ninja mercenary Zaku is the last hope for humanity. Inspired by the demanding gameplay of 8-bit action/platformers, Oniken pits your agility and swordplay against a gauntlet of enemies, traps, and challenging bosses.

Odallus: The Dark Call

The old gods have forgotten this land… Odallus is an exploration/action game and loving homage to the 8-bit genre classics. You play as Haggis – a battle-weary warrior who must wield his sword once more to rescue his son from Darkness.


A physical bundle containing both games is also planned for release at Play-Asia. A release date for this collection is still to be set, but you'll be able to pre-order either a standard or limited edition bundle from the site from 24th January.
