Bladewings, it's time for you to play Atomic Owl.
Demo page: https://store.steampowered.com/app/3159870/Atomic_Owl_Demo/
Since our successful Kickstarter launch this past spring, we’ve been dedicated to making our debut title's demo as polished, bug-free, and enjoyable as possible. Last week, early Kickstarter backers at the Bladewing tier and above downloaded the demo and played it through the weekend.
But today, our game's demo is available to everyone as part of Steam Next Fest.
We've already had a handful of content creators playing as well!
Let's talk about the demo a little bit!
Atomic Owl is a neo-roguelite fusion sidescrolling platformer, inspired by games like Celeste, Dead Cells, MegaMan X, Hollow Knight, and more. However, we've recently made some interesting changes to the combat. Rather than the old design approach of hitting enemies repeatedly until they die, we've implemented a new way to engage enemies that we think you'll find very interesting and rewarding--a time stop + chain method of dispatching enemies, similar to games like Katana Zero, but with our spin. Easy for new players, but actively rewarding for high-level players and those who want to be stylish!
The demo showcases a fair bit of story from the main game as well, but you are free to skip any dialogue and get straight into the action if you choose. The demo is also fairly short, roughly 20 - 30 minutes if you take your time. We wanted to get our most polished levels out but also give you a taste of what you can expect when we launch next year, but not give too much away.
Demo Specifics:
• Quick 500 MB Download
• Full Xbox/PS4/PS5/Keyboard Support
• Full Steam API Integration
• Playable on Steam Deck, but not completely optimized. If you choose to play it on Steam Deck, you will see bugs in the UI.
• Widescreen is supported, but you may see some letterboxing
We look forward to your feedback.
