The Call of the NES.

<span class="bold">Odallus: The Dark Call</span>, an authentic, modern and polished throwback to the feel and ambiance of the NES, is available now DRM-free on GOG.com!

Odallus: The Dark Call is a terrifyingly authentic throwback to the metroidvanias of old on the NES. It's a game that not only draws inspiration from titles like Ghosts 'n Goblins, Demon's Crest and Castlevania, but could easily be mistaken for one of them. For fans of days past, this title should have it all. At its core, the game is designed to recreate the ambience and feel of all the old school classics - for example, the graphics adhere strictly to the 8-bit limitations of game development back in the day. Odallus: The Dark Call makes the limitations its own, and combined with open, modern day design and responsive controls - it gracefully straddles the line between extremely old-school and extremely playable.

Peek through a highly polished window into the glory days of metroidvanias in <span class="bold">Odallus: The Dark Call</span>, available now DRM-free on GOG.com! If you can handle it.

Dalthnock: Since I'm feeling quite pedantic this lovely afternoon, allow me to pick on this sentence:

"throwback to the days of Metroidvania on the NES"

Metroidvania was never a game, rather a genre that started with Castlevania: Symphony of the Night on the Playstation.

So quite, quite far from the NES days. Unless you're calling the game Metroid "Metroidvania".

Darned kids these days! GIT ORF OF MY LAHN!

There, that feels better. Have a nice evening, everybody.

Cheers!
Fixed :)

Dalthnock: The text, yes. But what about the person who wrote the original article? Has he been properly flogged?

Cheers!
No and he won't be :) Sorry but not everyone grew up with a NES since in Poland they weren't all that available at the time :P

budejovice: Nice release, thanks GOG. It looks really good and I'll give it a shot sooner rather than later.

(Any chance we're getting Interstellaria Friday? The dev [and I] would be thrilled. :)
We're Here To Serve. It's coming :)

Boilpoint: Anyone else get a very distinct Ninja Gaiden feel from watching the video?
One of the developers actually plays Ninja Gaiden a lot :) I got the same feeling :)
