Oddworld Inhabitants, Inc. and Microids team up to
release the classic game Oddworld: Munch’s Oddysee. Initially
available on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch, Oddworld: Munch's Oddysee
is the classic action adventure game with an ecological heart ported to the
world's most innovative and popular handheld, tabletop, and traditional
all-in-one gaming console. The physical version will be released later this
year.
The story begins with you
playing as a Gabbit named Munch, the hero of the Oddest Oddysee of all. Munch’s
luck is about to change – for the worse.
How would you feel if you broke
your leg in a scrab trap, were abducted by soulless scientists, had an alien
device implanted in your skull, and found out your race had been hunted to
extinction?
Due to the rich variety of
consumer products derived from the Gabbit species, their legacy has nearly come
to its end. For the amphibious Gabbit, there is only one lonely individual that
survives. However, it won’t be spotted where one might typically find such a
Gabbit. This one is currently an entrapped test subject within the horrible
testing facility known as Vykkers Labs. It is up to you to help guide Munch in
efforts to rescue fellow test creatures. These critters will be forever loyal
to Munch and in turn enable his escape.
Once free, Munch teams up with
Abe and together they are guided by the wisdom of the Almighty Raisin.
They are informed as to how to accomplish their goals, but in order to do so,
they must work together. For Munch, his dream is to bring back his species from
the brink of extinction. For Abe, it is to rescue his Mudokon buddies.
You can “switch” between Munch
and Abe depending on the situation. Using special psychic powers, cool
power-ups, and other special abilities to deliver payback to the Vykkers, Abe
and Munch set out to reclaim the last gabbit eggs on Oddworld, which have been
packaged in a can of gabbiar.
May Odd help you!
