There’s the desert, where you’ll encounter tornados that shoot you into the sky, hot air balloons linked by flag streamers, and massive dunes.

Both of these already set Odyssey up to be a tougher sequel, but what clinches it is the addition of three biomes, with each one featuring unique obstacles. The mountain elder has been swapped out for a lemur, who is so persistent in chasing you that they’ll even jump onto rails if they can, forcing you to think more on your feet to ensure you don’t get caught. Since you’re in the desert, you’ll be occasionally swamped by sandstorms that makes things harder to see for a short time. This works a lot better at its intended function, and flows more smoothly into the mechanics.

The hover feather power-up has been swapped out for a small shield that breaks through rocks if you don’t have enough momentum and lands your backflips as soon as you touch the ground, though usually without the points if you didn’t complete it.

Odyssey retains the same gameplay as its predecessor, but makes a few changes and additions to the formula. In the case of Alto’s Odyssey, the developers opted to keep the acclaimed gameplay from Alto’s Adventure while offering new obstacles and creating a more varied, difficult game that’ll appeal to fans itching for a challenge, although it also has an unfortunate issue with microtransactions in the Android version.Īlto and his friends are searching for new thrills, and head to the desert to sandboard their way to new adventures and horizons. Making a sequel to a successful endless runner is always going to be difficult, since you want to maintain what the original did well without boring your audience with a repeated formula or alienating them with radical changes.
