From Press Release:
Denver, CO – January 22, 2024 – Ghouls, goblins, and creatures of all kinds, Monster Theater is here to put a spotlight on dynamic and unique indie game design. We are a studio full of passionate game makers who aim to bring vividly interesting worlds designed to seize imaginations to the broader gaming community. We hope to follow in the footsteps of standout indies of our era like Shovel Knight, Dead Cells, and many others.
Monster Theater’s talented development team comes from across the gaming industry with backgrounds spanning from AAA games to indies and mobile games. Notable credits among our team include projects like New Super Lucky’s Tale and Borderlands 3. The Monster Theater team also loves to cultivate their creativity by participating in game jams, where we focus on creating fun and quirky prototypes.
In the wise words of Satoru Iwata – “Above all, video games are meant to just be one thing: Fun for Everyone” Our goal is to embody this adage, and we plan to start with our premiere game Atomic Owl.
Become Hidalgo, the Owl Shinobi, and embrace kinetic combat inspired by lightning-fast classic side scrollers in the neo-roguelike adventure Atomic Owl. Cut your way through eight challenging mini-roguelike zones in the beautiful world of Judanest. Discover powerful ‘Wing Remnants’ and equip them to change the topography of combat, and turn the tables in your favor.
“From the moment I pitched Atomic Owl as ‘Owl Shinobi-Ninja-Samurai meets Megaman X’ it has felt like we’ve captured lightning in a PS1-shaped bottle,” Said Eldar Basic, Studio Lead for Monster Theater, “ Over the past year, we’ve been hard at work refining the game and doing our best to make something never-before-seen in the indie space.”
Our crowdfunding campaign is starting at the end of February, until then we are thrilled to present our first trailer: https://youtu.be/
Monster Theater is excited to bring amazing worlds your way. To keep an eye on what we’re working on follow us on Reddit, X, and Instagram, and join our Discord later this month for development updates. Wishlist Atomic Owl on Steam for the latest on the game!
