Oddworld: New’n’Tasty is a side-scrolling action game where you control a strange humanoid creature, Abe, through a thrilling and mysterious stage. This is a remake of “Ave a Go Go” released for PlayStation in 1997, and features unique visuals, a comical world view, and a chewy difficulty level inherited from the original. The purpose of the main character, Ave, is to help 299 friends and escape from a dangerous factory trying to take the lives of the clan. Various traps and puzzles await you in the process, and players must overcome them.
On the other hand, Ave’s body is poor, and if damaged, he will die with a single blow. In addition, there are many cruel gimmicks on the stage. There are few means of attack, and escape is not so easy. What is important here is the chant, which is Ave’s special ability. By activating this, Ave can make full use of various supernatural powers. For example, possession of the enemy. By taking over the body, you can control the enemy. There are scenes where breakthroughs can be made by making full use of these abilities along the way. To get through a dangerous stage, you will need to be careful about grasping gimmicks and to handle psychic powers flexibly.
By the way, “Oddworld: Soulstorm”, which is a direct sequel to “Oddworld: New’n’ Tasty”, is currently being developed. This work has been announced for PC / PS5 and is scheduled to be released in 2021. If you haven’t played yet, it’s a good idea to take this opportunity to play the previous work, “Oddworld: New’n’ Tasty,” as the latest work, which has undergone even greater evolution, is about to be released. Please note that Japanese is not supported.
