Black Bird is a shoot'em up developed by Onion Games - a team whose portfolio includes such titles as Million Onion Hotel and Dandy Dungeon. The game, supervised by Yoshiro Kimura (producer and director of Little King's Story), is coming to the PC and Switch.

Mechanics

In Black Bird we observe the action from the side. During the game we play as a girl transformed into a black bird. Running to the right, the protagonist crosses a gloomy land and eliminates hordes of enemies by firing bubble-like missiles or dropping bombs. You'll need skill and reflexes - enemies often attack from all sides, and have varying resistance to damage.

Video Chums: 3 / 5 by A.J. Maciejewski

Aside from its distinct graphics and hilarious music, Black Bird is basically a copy of Sega's classic shooter Fantasy Zone.

SwitchWatch: 80 / 100 by Juan Romero

Black Bird is one of those rare games that come along and just completely surprises you in every way. It's fun, completely bonkers in a good way, has a quirky musical score, great design, and is only let down in my view by the slightly high price being asked for. If you can stomach that then give some to Onion games because this is worthy of being in any Shoot 'em up fans collection.

Hardcore Gamer: 3.5 / 5 by James Cunningham

Black Bird is a wonderful, sad, strange, funny, cute and bizarre shooter that can't quite make its gameplay match the quality of everything else.
