What a game! Been playing Alto’s Odyssey for over a year now and have loved every second of it. Very rarely do game devs create that is so visually intricate yet easy to learn and worth coming back to over and over again, yet Snowman has checked all the boxes. It’s a nice game to play on long car rides or flights, as I’ve found it’s a great escape from the real world as you are hooked by the serene soundtrack and stunning scenery. As I’ve played Odyssey I’ve come to appreciate the constantly changing weather patterns and daylight cycles that can even affect how well I perform.
Though it’s a 5-star game in my books, one suggestion I have is to remove the character Sumatra entirely or replace her with another character that has his/her own unique attribute. Once you’ve unlocked Sumatra the game becomes very easy, and personally I enjoy the challenges presented with each character (Paz’s extremely slow backflips but great momentum, Maya’s low momentum but swift backflips, etc). In addition to this, the challenges could be altered so some are more specific to certain characters, and thus create incentives to use each of them.
This is one of the best mobile games I have ever played. I have spent endless hours playing it and am in the top 100 in two out of the three Game Center leaderboards. The recent UI bug fixes and improvements have seemed to make the UI worse on my end. The two things I’ve seen since the update are that while playing the trick points number overlaps slightly with the distance number and on the end screen when you have over one million points the last digit is squeezed underneath. These are all the bugs that I have noticed so far but I also recognize that this update has improved some text size including coins over 1,000 in the pause screen! Overall I hope they make some adjustments to fix these problems. Thanks!
This game is super fun and relaxing to play. And as you travel across the dunes, canyons and temples a story really starts to unfold. I just love how you can use a sand bord to travel on the canyon walls and the wing sute to safely get across caverns. A also think that the character balances are really good. Paz flips really slow but has a lot of momentum. Maya flips really fast but doesn’t get very much momentum and alto is in the middle. There is also a zen mode that allows you to peacefully travel the desert without risk of of diving. There is just so much fun to be had in this game and so many solid characters. If you like a strong fun, relaxing Quality game this is the place to come. And if you played the first game ALTOS ADVENTURE than I should brobally tell you this game is a huge step up from it
I loved Alto’s Adventure when I was younger. My brother and I used to take turns playing it on my mom’s phone on long car rides, an earbud apiece for us to listen to either the game’s own majestic soundtrack or our own current musical obsessions. This brings me to my only problem with Odyssey: you can’t listen to your own music. I spent hours upon hours playing this game when I first downloaded it, but recently I’ve found myself getting bored with it. I loved the original for its flexibility in that regard, in what you could listen to, and I would listen through Kendrick’s newest album while soaring across a snowy landscape. And I still love this game as well, but my experience would definitely be enlightened if that feature were added.
TLDR: Odyssey is a game with no ads, that doesn’t need Wi-Fi, and is very fun.
Backstory:
The game is a little old, and I played it in ~2018. I just saw it as a game where you ride sand dunes. I abandoned it as it didn’t seem the best. I was looking through my apps for a good game ~1 week ago. I saw Odyssey and thought, “what’s this?” I started it up, recognised it, and thought, “oh it’s this.” I had a few runs and really liked it. I then hadn’t noticed 30 minutes go by.
Review:
I noticed that I hadn’t watched a single ad or had been asked to watch a single ad, From then on, whenever I waited in a queue or had free time, I played the game. I’m currently trying to get the wing suit and I’m on level 20. The goals are really creative and there is a lot of content. I’m most definitely addicted to this. There is one advertisement, which is completely unnecessary for anything, which is for Alto’s Adventure. There is another mode which is zen mode. In zen, there are no obstacles, score, and you can endlessly surf the desert. I would most definitely recommend this game as it a one-of-a-kind. If you get this game, try to beat my high score, 49,345.
Personally this is one of my favorite games ever. The graphics/art are phenomenal and they seem to have thought of everything. My phone is not even a newer model and this app never glitches even a little bit. Along with this, it has no adds and only costs a bit of money. The controls are simple and easy, and the simplicity of the tricks and upgrades are amazing. When I just want to play the app, zen mode is easily accessible. I also enjoy how the app has I slight touch of story with all the character descriptions and how there are objectives and multiple characters. Overall an insanely good yet simple and clean game considering all of the factors and how it is not even super expensive. Could not express my thanks for this truly clean and well made game, compared to all the others out there, especially the simple and super well made art style.
Hello, I would like to share my story with the game that I believe is a little bit more unique than most other players. As some of you may know, Alto’s Odyssey is the sequel to Alto’s Adventure, which was first published in 2015. I played AA (Alto’s Adventure), and fell in love with it, however I never purchased it or AO (Alto’s Odyssey) until recently. This was because I first played the two on a hacked client which allowed me to play for free. Since it was a hacked client, it meant that my data on the game would be wiped whenever the client had to shift to a new site or whatever they did when they risked being exposed. I played AA and AO over and over and over again but never became bored of either, which made me start to think; “hey, maybe this game is worth buying”. I had never gotten past level 30 on either game because of how often the client had to switch and that frustrated me, to the point where I stopped playing both of them, up until 2022. I decided to buy them on a whim because I had forgotten then remembered AO and had felt quite nostalgic about it. Buying this game and playing for the first time in years was an amazing feeling and I can confidently say I have thoroughly enjoyed every moment, this game is worth the $5 you spend on it, without a doubt. P.S: canyons best biome
I grew up playing Altos Adventure, so when I heard about the development of its sequel, Altos Odyssey, I was counting down the days until it’s release! Like its predecessor, Odyssey is incredibly immersive and absolutely stunning in every way. It’s extremely easy to play, but offers an ever changing landscape and new challenges to always make the game exciting. As an indie game (and a newer one at that), it does have its flaws and bugs. But the developers are constantly improving the performance. Currently, the game shuts of your background audio as you enter the game (although I’ve heard that the developers are working on this issue). With its catchy music that’s never always the same, I’m fine with that. However, if you prefer listening to your own media whilst tapping away, I would instead download the critically acclaimed Altos Adventure, which offers that feature. Overall, the stunning art, cute characters, and enticing challenges, combined with the simple, easy gameplay, makes this amazing app worth every penny. As a long time Alto addict, I can definitely say that you will adore this game.
This game is by far the very best paid infinite run game I’ve ever played, definitely worth the money on this one, there are no problems that I’ve run into thus far, and I just feel so nostalgic when playing this game, it reminds me of living with my mom and how I would play this during the nights me and my siblings were home alone while she (my mom) was working. This might be kinda sappy, but this game makes me feel strangely comforted whilst the world burns outside our window and also because I can’t live with my mom at the moment because of split parent issues, and I miss her very, very much, but knowing I have a piece of her with me on an everyday item of mine is the best I could wish for. But anyway, I just overall feel relaxed and happy with the look, feel, and sound of the entire game. Also, if you feel like you have problems with this game on your phone, then as long as an iPad is signed into your iCloud account (or something else, maybe iTunes) you can download it for free on that iPad. Trust me I bet it’ll be a way greater experience. And for the developer(s) of this game, props to you! Great work 🙂👍
I really enjoyed this title and completed all the goals. It really strikes a wonderful balance between relaxing, entertaining, and easy to pick-up which is what you want in a mobile game. The game has a great arc though I found it plateaued a bit after discovering all three biomes. It would have been more exciting if there were more biomes and kept the sense of adventure going. Only complaint is that the game can be difficult to see without your phone brightness way up - especially when it is “night” in the game or a sandstorm. The changing weather and time in the game are really beautiful, but i would have liked an “always day mode” that keeps it at noon and sunny in the game so that it is easy to see even if phone brightness is low.
