What players say
Players compare Eagle Island Twist to Yoshi's Island and Owlboy, praising its owl-throwing combat and pixel art. The difficulty is high and the controls are polarizing, with some finding them awkward on controller. Reviews split on whether the game is a hidden gem or boring, though the core combat and art style win over most who stick with it.
