Reviews for Nodes of Yesod (#3447)

Review by YOR on 13 May 2018 (Rating: 3)

Another game I thought I reviewed, turns out no-one's reviewed this or its sequel The Arc of Yesod which I am much more familiar with compared to this. It's a pretty looking game that should be more enjoyable than it is, but his horrible jumping makes this a needless chore. One of the game's programmers Stuart Fotheringham states the original game was lost after a hardware crash and they had to rush a new version from scratch, I can't help but wonder how the original played compared to this, especially his jump because this could have been much better.

An adventure by Odin Computer Graphics that somehow resembles Ultimate's Underwurlde.

After a nice loading screen, a well done and very clear human voice and a nice music intro, we start playing the role of Charlie, an astronaut that's on Moon's surface and must enter its intrincated underground tunnels to find a monolith located in a cavern. you'll need eight keys in the form of gems to accomplish your mission.

First of all, your aim will be get a cute mole that can eat walls so that you can move through caverns easily. Then, back to the underground moon where your enemies are several life forms that inhabit there and the falls you can have from certain heights (hence the resemblance from Underwurlde).

Graphically is a very nice game. The first time we are on the surface of the moon with planet Earth on the horizon is great. The life level is very original (it shows the heart beats) and the first games made it addictive as it encourages you to explore the underground map. But after some time, the difficulty and the monotone (and very long, by the way) map make it worse than expected.

Anyway, we face a nice game, well finished, good in every aspect (graphics, movement, sounds and tune, ...) but it fails as a whole.

Thanks to China's Chang'E 5 we finally know that the boys from Odin Computer Graphics were right:






The galleries into the moon are there.


Just need to find the mole!

Magnificent game with very good details.
If, it's true like they said that the betaversion was lost in a System Crash and programmers had to hurry up with a "improvised" definitive code, ... then hats off ... it has so much merit..

Also, it 's true to resemble Underwurlde. .But with the help with a mole as a second Hero
