Critic Reviews4
Olympia Rising has a beautiful presentation and neat elements to boot, but ultimately does a bit too little to bring excitement.

Never quite reaches the heights of its inspiration. It does look fantastic and its unique form of action is something to behold in the hands of a master player (not mine, unfortunately), but all those minor issues do add up, including a few framerate drops in certain areas. Iola’s adventure is still worth your time, but it’s not quite the great game it could have been.

Its combo approach adds a fast-paced environment to the platforming genre and it will surely stand out among other retro-themed games available on the Wii U's downloadable catalogue.
