You know how Nidhogg is just one thing, and it’s super simple and slightly just…nothing, but you can spend ages with it and it’s got an incredibly high skill ceiling, and there’s no flaws at all and they’ve just sort of achieved everything they set out to do without making a big deal out of it? It’s that kind of game.

Kill The Crows is such a pure, condensed game. So rare to find a gameplay loop so utterly on the mark. Every moment is a small crisis where you’re either lost in a flow state, or you’re dead - and then right back into the action a couple seconds later.

Can’t believe how few people talk about this cult classic-in-waiting. It’s really charming.

    Can anyone weigh in on how well this works on the deck? I know it’s 5 bucks and has a demo, but it would be great to hear from someone who’s played a lot of it

      It works beautifully on the deck, it’s primarily how I play this game. I did rebind some controls though. It had reloading the gun set to one of the face buttons, which means you’d need to let go of the joystick to reload. I remapped the reload button to RB (R1) and it’s much better.
