Atomic Owl Reviews
Professional reviews from gaming critics
Developer Monster Theatre has created an approachable roguelike in Atomic Owl, the studio’s debut title. You’re cast as Hidalgo Bladewing, out for revenge after losing a battle against Crow Sorcerer Omega Wing, which saw Hidalgo imprisoned and lose his friends to dark influence. The game itself is a compact Metroidvania that can be beaten in around six hours, but does it sustain its runtime?
A sword-wielding owl must join forces with a demonic weapon to end the tyranny of an evil crow and free her companions.
Atomic Owl is a roguelike title set in a neon-filled world that, while looking nice, was frustrating to play, making it feel unfair.
A fast-paced action platformer with roguelike elements, Atomic Owl has attractive visuals and enjoyable core gameplay. It soon gets quite repetitive, however, and a myriad of other issues introduce a fair amount of frustration, too.
Atomic Owl is a crowdfunded platformer with some roguelike elements where your avian protagonist must go on a quest to rescue his friends. The premise is relatively solid, buoyed by some genuinely excellent art design and music. However, it unfortunately finds its wings clipped by a not-insignificant number of technical and design issues preventing this particular quest from fully taking flight.
