Atomic Owl

A cool action scrolling platformer with rougelite elements though u can turn it off, a fun time with beautiful graphics and nice music!

The music, and the art is absolutely stunning. That alone makes me recommend this. As someone with a bit of motor skill issues and not being terribly well-versed in platformers I'd say that the platforming is a bit on the harder side.

very fun, very challenging, and nice graphic. The gameplay not boring too https://youtube.com/live/9_0kXu6Bn8g?feature=share

Ich muss ehrlich sagen: Atomic Owl finde ich wirklich gut. Du läufst von links nach rechts, machst Wandsprünge und das Kampfsystem fühlt sich richtig gut an. Die Mechaniken funktionieren und das Gameplay macht Spaß. ABER… es gibt eine Sache die mich komplett rausreißt. Warum reden die NPCs gefühlt zwei Sätze und sind danach einfach still? Ich dachte jedes Mal da kommt jetzt noch mehr und dann… Ende. Das Spiel ist wirklich gut, aber genau solche Kleinigkeiten nerven mich dann irgendwie doch mehr als sie sollten.

I had a good time with Atomic Owl. The art style is cool and the graphics look amazing, though the bright neon can feel a little eye-searing after a while. The actual gameplay feels incredibly tight and responsive, and I really appreciated the addition of the "No Rogue Lite" mode so I could play the game as regular side scroller instead of dealing with a repetitive roguelite loop. Overall, it's just a sharp, engaging game that I genuinely liked. Worked great on the Steam Deck. 3/5

Музыка данной игры невероятно хороша, художественный стиль весьма привлекательный. Как платформер это хорошая игра, но плоский и не до конца раскрытый сюжет(не сказал бы, что он самый плохой, даже в чём-то заставляющий задуматься), а также отсутствие переназначения клавиш(весьма критично, если играешь на клавиатуре), пожалуй, самые большие недостатки игры.

The voice acting was missing here and there but humor was good. The story progression feels rewarding and the pacing is excellent it never feels dull or rushed. Performance is surprisingly good, running smoothly even on my potato laptop with Intel UHD 620 graphics. Visually, the retro synth aesthetic is fantastic. It’s not dry or depressing like some other titles, the world feels rich, colorful, and full of life. However, the controls do feel loose and 'floaty' at times and definitely need some polish. Despite that, it’s a great game to just sit back on the couch and relax with on a weekend. I’m currently enjoying Rogue Mode. I generally dislike long grinds or overly difficult combat systems, so I really appreciate the balance here. The enemies are forgiving, but there are still plenty of interesting weapons and powered attacks to experiment with. The real challenge lies in reaching new areas rather than defeating enemies, which gives me major nostalgia for old games I used to play on my CRT TV. It’s not a perfect game, but it is surely an enjoyable one.

Pretty rad.

Gut spiele es.

Trois mots me viennent en tête pour caractériser Atomic Owl : simple, efficace et artistique. Simple dans son concept et sa difficulté, efficace dans son level-design et son gameplay, et artistique dans ses visuels et sa musique. Un petit jeu sans grande prétention si ce n’est celle de vous offrir un bon moment de Hack and Slash dans des environnements tous plus beaux les uns que les autres, le tout avec un rendu très eighties qui vous apportera à n’en pas douter une jolie vague de nostalgie.
