“A stylish exterior hides a game that tries too hard to blend gameplay styles, leading to a fast-paced roguelite built around slow, weighty combat; Atomic Owl is glamorous, with incredible visual design backed up by a stunning synth-wave soundtrack, but without a solid gameplay loop, it fails to hook players in, prompting frustration instead of incremental improvement.”

“Genre fans and newcomers alike will find something fascinating within the world of The Wandering Village; though hampered by a slow pace in its early hours, the game continues to astound in everything from its visual design to its ever-expanding gameplay loop. A must play.”
