The Oldest Edda

About

The Oldest Edda casts you as Runar, a determined warrior tasked with halting the monstrous Grabak in Odin's frozen realm of Niflheim. This side-scrolling platformer pairs tight controls with perilous jumps and environmental hazards as you push through icy caverns, molten chasms, and other treacherous zones. Each level demands precision and quick reflexes to survive the hostile terrain and progress toward the final showdown. The game's charm lies in its pixel-art visuals and challenging but fair design, encouraging practice and patience. While still new, early players note its difficulty curve and atmospheric levels feel handcrafted for fans of retro-style action. Released in January 2024, it's positioning itself as a no-frills test of skill with Norse mythology woven into every frozen platform.
