Quantcast

Odama


The ancient Japanese art of battle pinball. Wait, what?

Though unbound creativity can lead to classics like PS2's Katamari Damacy and its colorful balls of space-bound garbage, it can also lead to a game that makes as little sense as it seems like it would the first time someone tells you about it. Strategy and pinball? Right. It's better than it sounds, but not that much better. The world is probably a more interesting place with this game in it, but that doesn't necessarily mean your life will improve if you play it.

You'll love
  • A unique blend of two game types
  • Plenty to do, given your limited input
  • Always a challenge
You'll hate
  • The difficulty is unfair
  • Bad luck = you lose
  • When the timer runs out. Argh
