Squids Odyssey (Wii U) Review | Hardcore Gamer

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.
