If you have a fondness for classics like Ninja Gaiden and Strider then you'll love the ninja action in Oniken.Oniken gameplay video → Odallus: The Dark Call Review Xbox One ★★★★☆ You can't get much more old-school than playing as a muscular sword-wielding warrior who fights demons so let's check out Odallus. JoyMasher took what made Oniken great and basically adapted it to a slower and more deliberate pace for Odallus.

This is a solid and really engaging hardcore retro throwback, and so if you’re looking for a blast to the past, you’ll feel like a kid again playing Oniken.

After every punishing stage I finished in Oniken, I felt completely drained; my nerves shot. I would force myself to take a break, jumping into a less emotionally taxing game before heading back. That feeling clearly won’t be for everyone and the game’s over-the-top violence will definitely scare off some gamers. However, the personal satisfaction that comes from finishing each of the game’s stages cannot be overstated. Oniken: Unstoppable Edition is meant for a certain kind of NES fan; those that revel in that sort of old-school challenge will find little else like it on Switch. Nintendojo was provided a copy of this game for review by a third party, though that does not affect our recommendation.
