Odama takes place durring the Japanese feudal wars.
Gamers use the flippers to send the pinball called Odama to destory enemy barracks and turrets. Hitting enemy soldiers captures them and makes them join your army.
If you're not careful you'll crush your own troops.
Players progress to the next level by gaining more territory and assaulting the enemies gate.
Your actions can result in your troops losing confidence in you and your abilities, they will then become complacent.
A second player can use the DK Bongo controllers to speed up and urge soldiers onwards. The troops will lose confidence in the 1st player if this occurs.
A second player can step in and control your troops instead of allowing them to make their own decisions.
As you progress your troops will need to liberate additional flippers, dam rivers and clear the way to the enemies gate.
