It has beautiful weather effects that happens randomly throughout and the passing of time is reflected through a day and night cycle. It does a great job of creating a sense of being within a larger world. Where the game shines is how graphically amazing it is. They will keep appearing the further you go and each time they appear they will be chasing you faster than before. Once you jump over a chasm they will stop chasing you. This can take the form of flips, bouncing on rocks, grinds, etc.

To get away from them you will have to do tricks to try and speed up. Like the characters though, it can take a little too long to unlock new items.Īs you progress you will come across an NPC that will chase after you to try and knock you off your board (Elders in Alto’s Adventure and Lemurs in Alto’s Odyssey). All these abilities will help travel longer so don’t be too down-hearted if you start crashing early.

You can also pick up coins along your journey to buy items, such as a wing-suit that helps you glide a long distance or a helmet that protects you from a crash. It can take a little too long to do so though, and at times feels like a bit of a chore. There are goals you have to complete to unlock more characters, each with unique abilities. Then you go again wanting to beat your score or furthest distance. The game ends should you take a tumble or fail to land a jump. Other than capturing llamas you have to jump over chasms, avoid rocks, grind on bunting and perform the odd trick like front flips and back flips. Alto’s Odyssey, released in 2018, is a similar concept but instead you sandboard across a desert.Īnd so begins an endless runner adventure. You can either hold jump to back flip or a simple jump to go over an obstacle. Alto is a farmer who has lost his llamas and has to snowboard after them to catch them. The Alto Collection is a comprised of two games Alto’s Adventure was the original game released in 2015.
