Explore the avian world of Eagle Island with Quill and one of his loyal owls, Koji. Discover lush forests, treacherous caverns and uncover the ruins of long lost civilizations. Finally, confront the gargantuan deity, Armaura, in a desperate attempt to rescue Ichiro from her clutches.
With its falconry-based gameplay within uniquely generated worlds, Eagle Island is set to a beautifully modernized pixel art aesthetic and provides a breath of fresh air to the platforming genre.
A refreshing hybrid of Metroidvania and roguelite, unfortunately hampered by inconsequential power-ups.
Eagle Island is charming, full of like and a good compromise between roguelite elements and exploration. Sadly, its less than accurate targeting system and often frustrating combat makes it a chore to play, especially during later stages.
Eagle Island is vibrant and worth a look for its world and story, but the combat lets the overall experience down.
Don't let the cute visuals of Eagle Island fool you, the game may seem calm, but its brutal dificulty will test your reflexes with a precision plataforming roguelike with some metroidvania influences.
Eagle Island is rife with outrageous promise, but despite its beautiful art and sound fundamental controls, everything else on the periphery falls short. This is an elegant trip that is overburdened by pratfalls and reiteration.
