The game was released in July 2015, and in November 2015, was updated to include a more difficult "Veteran Mode" which included new enemy types.

Plot

An army of demons burn Haggis's village and take his son; Haggis goes into action to defeat them. It appears that a mysterious cult has kidnapped his son for plans of a dark sacrifice.

Gameplay

Odallus is an action-adventure platform game, which is highly reminiscent of early NES platform games, most notably of the Castlevania franchise and Metroid. The player controls Haggis, who can run, jump, and use his weapon, initially a weak sword. With the game having several role-playing elements, Haggis can upgrade his equipment and abilities by finding items hidden throughout the various levels. He can then revisit previous levels to overcome obstacles and find additional secrets. Each level contains a boss that becomes easier to reach when the player uncovers secret shortcuts. Haggis can also acquire subweapons such as axes, torches, etc., which have a limited number of uses, indicated in the game's HUD.
