Nevertheless, the game is devote to the writing and it embraces the concept of inexperienced heroes, which reflects on the type of encounters you face. The game will get progressively harder going from skirmishes with rock-throwers to facing a raging mechanical toad is quite an upgrade. Don’t get me wrong, Owlboy’s playthrough is as polished as it gets, but it isn’t a game you’ll battle with. It’s an understandable consequence that there’s no struggle to find in terms of gameplay. Again, it’s all about the cast and the narrative every aspect of this game focuses on bringing the world’s story and its characters feelings to life. Putting the cast on a relatable level where they aren’t all mighty, but actually cover for each other’s weaknesses. This is the kind of detail that boost immersion. It’s a neat little feature, you pick up your allies and gain control of, for example, Geddy’s blaster. You see, Otus isn’t much of a fighter, and he can’t just dive into a fire lizard instead, he chooses to carry his friends around for extra on-air support. You can walk, roll, fly, spin attack and -more importantly- carry. Geddy being a jolly good fellowįirst of all, the gameplay is ruled by simple mechanics. It shines on its narrative and art, but on the way to that hill it made some sacrifices. Owlboy stands in the middle, almost being like a storytelling title trapped in a magnificent 2-d pixel world. His race’s past, once powerful, could be either Otus’ key to success, or the end of everything as he knows. This game isn’t the regular platformer you’d see nowadays, trying to fill your screen with as much bullets and enemies as humanly possible but at the same time, it isn’t a full-on puzzle game like Inside or Limbo. In a journey that guides you through ancient old temples, buried dark ruins and gigantic flying ships, the silent Owlboy looks for a way of stopping the sky pirates threat for good. You don’t get a dream roster of knights right away Owlboy is a story about a group of outcasts with fears, tender dreams, and a will to face their own difficulties. His master doesn’t think much of him, owl kids mock him, and his only friend is Geddy -a goofy defense mechanic who’s constantly jumpy, but also thriving for adventure.
Actually, he’s just a kid, and quite an unpopular one. From the beginning, he isn’t the coolest hero around. The house farthest down is where the young mute Owlboy Otus lives. It’s one of many towns where humans and hybrid-like owl people live together, sharing a colorful world in the heights. In a place where islands roam the skies, a small village hidden between the clouds emerges: Vellie. Almost ten years of development make sense when you find yourself flying Otus, the Owlboy, through an incredibly detailed hi-bit scenery while listening to Jonathan Geer’s captivating soundtrack. The golden era’s clichés come alive in a title that doesn’t fear to approach gameplay through a beautiful atmosphere, and a heartful tale. Cheesy but loving friendships, joyful worlds menaced by evil, and a pinch of innocent humor. Owlboycould be summed up with that single statement, but the platformer by D-pad Studio breaks with modern tendencies and brings back, in its own way, the old essence of gaming.
