## Description

Loki has stolen Odin’s eye from Mimir’s well. Odin placed it in the well to
gain all the wisdom in the world and to be able to oversee what’s going on in
the world. With the eye missing, Odin has lost all of his powers and there’s a
risk that Loki overthrows Odin and puts himself as the chief of the Viking
gods. At the time of the theft, Odin is outside the village of Gandar where
seven peculiar Vikings live. He asks them of their help and it’s up to the
player to take control of one of them, travel through the worlds, defeat Loki
and bring back the eye to the well of Mimir.

_Odens oga_ is an action game played from a third person perspective. The game
consists of twelve levels and for each one the player’s task is to locate and
collect all the keys. Once all keys have been retrieved a gate opens up,
leading to the next level. The worlds are full of monsters that the player has
to be aware of. There are many vicious animals such as wolves and rabbits that
attacks when the player gets close. To battle these beasts the player uses a
ranged missile like attack. The player can also fly, although only a limited
amount of flying power is available. When it’s out the player has to wait for
it to recharge. Seven different characters can be chosen from but the
difference between them is merely cosmetic. The player gathers points for
enemies neutralised and by collecting amulets that can be found around the
worlds. Other collectibles include stones and chests which can increase the
player’s health or make the player less vulnerable against monsters. There are
also ant hills which affects the player’s abilities when stepped on. This can
be positive, like increased strength or negative, like reduced speed. The
player has three lives. When all are used up the player loses the level and
has to start over.

The game also features multiplayer over LAN. It lets two player compete
against each others. The objective for each player is to catch a pig. When a
player has the pig the opponent has to shoot at him and after a certain amount
of hits the pig will jump over to the other player. The player who has the pig
when time runs out will win the game.
