Nova Odessa

About

Nova Odessa casts you as a rookie demon hunter scraping by in a city teeming with the supernatural. Your days are spent tracking down and slaying demons across large urban environments while using your hard-earned cash to upgrade your modest home. Combat mixes basic action game mechanics with light RPG elements like weapon upgrades and skill progression. The open world encourages exploration between jobs, though the pacing leans more toward routine grind than epic storytelling. The game’s charm lies in its odd mix of violent brawls and cozy domesticity. Developer Leonardo Alexandrino crafts a world where you’re just as likely to spend an evening arranging furniture as you are battling hellspawn. Released in 2020 for PC, it carves a niche for players who enjoy side-scrolling action with a dash of simulation. While not mechanically deep, its quirky tone and blend of duties give it a distinctive rhythm that sets it apart from typical RPGs.
