Our take on A Quiver of Crows
The focus on frantic twin-stick combat limits the role of exploration and broader adventure systems. Its local co-op also depends on sharing one screen, so the design favors immediate paired play rather than separate-screen multiplayer.
What is A Quiver of Crows?
A Quiver of Crows is a difficult twin-stick shooter set in a grim world of flesh, bones, dirt, demons, and ghouls.
Enemies use different behaviors: some close in for melee attacks, while others fire from a distance and pursue the player rather than following fixed movement patterns. Weapons can be collected and upgraded, changing their firing direction and shot patterns. Shields can also be improved to endure attacks. The game supports optional single-screen couch co-op for two players. Movement and aiming use separate sticks with a twin-stick controller, while keyboard and mouse controls are also available. It runs on Windows, Mac, and Linux.
