ODIA Reviews

This is not a good game, but it is interesting, and considering the low price (and short time investment), worth buying and playing as a curiosity. It's a bit more difficult than it should be because the AI pathfinding for your allies is terrible, and they'll just walk into walls instead of helping you advance. I think "possessing" an ally after death would've been beneficial towards cutting the downtime of having to travel all the way back to the frontline after respawning. Movement after spawning is pretty fast but after 10ish seconds, I'd start moving along at half the speed for some reason? It's pretty buggy, I thought I got hit with a gamebreaking progression bug because certain items just didn't show up in the game world, but that should be fixable just by exiting and rebooting the game (or in my case, reinstalling it). But the concept of being a small, weak soldier sent to die against technologically superior foes, with only your sheer overwhelming numbers as your advantage is an appealing inversion of the typical power fantasy video games provide. I hope that the idea gets another, better executed shot one day.
