In this PS1/PSX-inspired fever dream of a wave-based horde shooter, you’re not the hero Crowhallow deserves – but you’re all it’s got. Armed with nothing but questionable reflexes and a sassy green bird named Lup, you’ll battle nightmarish foes in a handcrafted, retro world that feels just janky enough to haunt you.
Lup isn’t your average avian sidekick – he’s your primary weapon, therapist, and probably your only friend in this desolate, bird-cursed hellscape. Scavenge for upgrades that turn Lup into a feathered force of mass destruction, from devastating new attack types to “Why didn’t the developers balance this?” game-breaking alterations.
The horrors of Crowhallow are uniquely hideous – both visually and mechanically. These aren’t your standard cannon fodder; these are strategic abominations, each with their own gimmicks and quirks. Some protect their kin, others swarm you with all the grace of a broken hitbox, and all of them definitely have unresolved issues.
Movement? It’s as smooth as butter on a PS1 controller. Explore the world with upgradable traversal abilities that let you dodge, dash, and dive your way through the chaos – or straight into it, depending on how much you like to live dangerously.
So, will you and Lup save Crowhallow? Or will you simply survive long enough to regret trying? Either way, this surreal, spooky, and unapologetically satirical ride will have you cawing for more.
