Alto's Odyssey in IOS

Discover the endless desert

Walkthrough, Guilds, Tips on this special game

Our Expert Score

94/100

Alto's Odyssey is the rare sequel that manages to be both familiar and entirely fresh. While the snowy peaks of the first game were iconic, the vast desert dunes, hidden canyons, and temple cities of Odyssey provide a much richer visual palette. The addition of wall-riding adds a layer of verticality that makes the trick system feel more fluid and expressive than ever before.

What truly makes Odyssey special is the atmosphere. The dynamic lighting as the sun sets over the dunes, the sound of the wind, and the serene music create a meditative state. It’s a game that works perfectly in short bursts, but can just as easily suck you in for an hour. Zen Mode remains the best feature for those days when you just want to enjoy the scenery without worrying about scores or crashes. It is mobile gaming at its most refined.

Version 1.3.0Thu Feb 16 2023

Hello explorers! We're happy to let you know that we have updated Alto's Odyssey. This update introduces a handful of UI improvements and minor UI bug fixes that ought to make your journey through the endless desert a smoother one. Catch you on the other side of the dunes!


Just beyond the horizon sits a majestic desert, vast and unexplored.

Join Alto and his friends and set off on an endless sandboarding journey to discover its secrets.

Soar above windswept dunes, traverse thrilling canyons, and explore long-hidden temples in a fantastical place far from home.

Along the way, you’ll grind across vines, bounce atop hot air balloons, ride towering rock walls, and escape mischievous lemurs – all while uncovering the desert’s many mysteries.

Features:

• A standalone experience. Alto’s Odyssey is the follow-up to the critically acclaimed Alto’s Adventure, but you don’t need to have played one to enjoy the other.

• Easy to learn, difficult to master. At the heart of the Alto series is an elegant one-touch trick system. Chain together combos, and complete 180 goals — all with intuitive controls.

• Explore Biomes. From the dunes, to the canyons, to the temples, explore a rich and diverse landscape, with each area boasting unique visuals and gameplay.

• Newfound heights. Discover secrets in the sky with hot-air balloons, moving grind rails, and wall riding.

• Master the elements. In addition to dynamic lighting and weather effects like sandstorms and shooting stars, the desert is home to swirling wind vortexes and rushing water.

• Meet Alto and friends. Unlock six unique characters, each with their own attributes and abilities.

• Zen Mode. Complete with its own serene soundtrack, this relaxing mode distills Odyssey down to its purest elements: no scores, no coins, and no power-ups. Just you and the endless desert.

• Photo Mode. From the pause screen, get behind the lens and take stunning photos of your trip through the desert. Pinch, swipe, pan and zoom to frame the ideal shot, and share them with friends and family.

• Original music and handcrafted audio. Headphones recommended!

• Universal app with iCloud support. Play on your iPhone, iPad, and Apple TV, and your progress will always be in sync.

Alto’s Odyssey is a premium game with no ads or in-app purchases. Purchase once, play forever.
