I thought it was great how fleshed out each of the main characters were in the story, which is not always seen in other indie games. The final character (who I won’t say because it’s a spoiler) is an outcast from his family and was betrayed by the pirates, forcing him to side with Otus. Alphonse the Pirate’s sense of dignity and pride has him fight for the good side instead of the bad. Geddy is loyal and wants to be their for his friend Otus, whilst also protecting his friends and family in Vellie. Otus for example, is always seen as a fool or worthless by his peers and therefore has a point to prove. On the other hand, what I really liked was how D-Pad Studios developed their main characters in the game and really gave them clear and concise motivations for wanting to help save the world and stop the pirates. However, when mixed together it made for a choppy and overly long story which by the end, I didn’t enjoy. And I also think a lot of the random story was there to lay the foundations for the next game. I could see that some parts of the story were there as lore to build D-Pad Studios’s universe. The story in Owlboy was a little confusing, as what seemingly starts off as being a typical ‘save the world from the bad guy’ story soon becomes tangled in overly complex subplots and lore. It is not just the Pirates Otus has to worry about. Nevertheless, a deeper plot unravels as the story progresses. The three companions set off on an adventure to stop the pirate Captain Molstrom from finding the Owls’ remaining two relics. After an intense battle the pirates are defeat, causing one of them to join your team! The Pirates’ plan is to steal one of the Owls’ ancient relics. Upon entering the temple, the two friends find an ancient device that lets Otus teleport Geddy to his position (which is very convienient for puzzles).Īfter making it to the main vault of the ruin, Otus and Geddy realise that the mischievous stranger is working for the evil Sky Pirates. As they follow the stranger, the pair stumbles across a hidden ancient Owl Temple. On a routine task, Otus and his companion Geddy are investigating a mischievous stranger in the village. However, because he is a mute, Otus is seen as the but of every joke and is treated horribly by his master. They are highly trained to defend their village from the marauding Sky Pirates that lurk around in the open air. In Otus’s floating island village of Vellie, Owls are protecters. You play as Otus, a mute Owl who is in the middle of his guardian training. Flash forward a year and a half and Owlboy is on sale with 20% off on the Nintendo Switch. Unfortunately, I never managed to finish the game because of a corrupted save file, but I always knew one day I would go back and finish this chirpy little game. However, when Owlboy from D-Pad studios was released back in 2016 with raving reviews, I spent my Christmas break back in England trying to play through the game. I’m predominately a console gamer (and now solely a Switch gamer) and like playing my games on the comfort of my sofa. It's gonna be a long day.Over the last few years there hasn’t been many games that have got me to boot-up my old gaming PC. That's assuming of course he survives on the strange land he landed on long enough to find his friends. Now all that Otus has to deal with is a world irrevocably changed from the one he once knew, the revelations of the Ancient Owl race and their descendants, A lot of very confused and very scared people, and possibly pirates.

Like almost every NPC's gonna get some screen timeĬongratulations, the world is saved, the villain dashed, and happy days are here again.Evaunit02mark1 Fandoms: Owlboy (Video Game)
