#Owlboy switch review how to#
While we don’t want to spoil too much here, the final boss had us bouncing in delight when we finally figured out how to win, and a particular highlight is a mini-boss that is actually cleared by escaping the room, rather than dealing any damage. On top of all this you’ll face a number of boss fights, all of which need to be tackled slightly differently.
The best part of all this is that it all works really, really well and the controls are mapped to the Joy-Cons/Pro Controller perfectly.Įxploration also consists of puzzles, usually tasking you with activating switches to unlock doors stealth sections, where you have to avoid being seen on-the-ground platform sections where Otus cannot fly for various reasons and even some really intense chase scenes that see you swapping out your characters on the fly to deal with the various scenery in your way. Your job is to carry your companions in the air as you fly, rotating between them at the press of a button to use the relevant skill for the enemy or obstacle at hand. Other allies, whom you’ll acquire over time, have different weapons with different abilities such as much stronger bullets for heavy damage and obstacle destruction, and a hook-shot style device which can get you out of danger in a flash. Your best friend, Geddy, has a short-ranged – but relatively fast – gun that can take down the majority of enemies after several hits. Gameplay is mostly made up of Metroidvania-style dungeon exploration but, as Otus doesn’t really have any powers of his own (aside from dashing and spinning), the focus is shifted to clever use and rotation of your allies. When sky-pirates begin attacking the usually peaceful surroundings of Otus’ world – threatening to destroy the capital and steal powerful relics in the process – he, and some trusty companions, decide to set off and save the day.
He sets out to overcome everything that is said about him for the benefit of his world and community and, ultimately, himself. The game tells the story a mute owl called Otus, an underdog of sorts who is always looked down upon and thought to be useless by those around him.
