HG: I’m a fan of the flinging things at other things genre that has emerged on the iOS in recent years. Birds with a short temper at pigs in helmets. Spears at viking hordes. Wads of paper at your elementary school classmates. Finally, Squids Odyssey gives me the option to fling what I’ve wanted to fling all this time: squid. Initially an iOS release that just recently made its way to the Wii U, Squids Odyssey proves to be more complex than just a squid flinging simulator, attempting to meld fairly standard iOS gameplay (or Wii U GamePad gameplay, in this instance), with a turn based strategy RPG formula. As weird as it sounds, it works at times and offers a different enough approach to the genre to be novel …for a little while.
The tactical RPG 'Squids Odyssey' is now available for PC via Steam courtesy of French indie game studio, The Game Bakers.
Part tactical RPG, part Peggle, part Bust-A-Move. Squids Odyssey is an amalgamation of different game types, which essentially adds a puzzle like element to a regular RPG battle system. Squids Odyssey is a well polished game which will now, hopefully, be played by a larger audience.
'Squids Odyssey' is not quite a whale of a tale, but it's still a fun squid-launching RPG.
