Black Bird is one of the most interesting games I've played in a long time with loads of surprises all over the place.
In "BLACK BIRD" , players control a girl reborn as the ominous Black Bird, a calamity from ancient kingdom lore. The game features a darkly humorous world with pixel-art visuals and reveals more of the story upon completing stages. The unique audio/visual experience includes an operatic soundtrack synchronizing with enemy movement, creating a one-of-a-kind action-packed shooting game.

Black Bird is a unique little shooter that only gets better as you play it more and uncover its secrets. Its vintage-style art direction is charmingly melancholy, and its strange soundtrack only adds an extra layer of quirkiness to proceedings. It’s very much a score challenge game, though, meaning players expecting a wealth of things to see and do may be left feeling underwhelmed by its meagre four stages - especially when you consider the rather high price tag. This is very much a case of quality over quantity, and as long as you’re up for repeat playthroughs, you’re in for a wonderfully bizarre treat.
