SHEEPO: A Quirky Metroidvania Platformer
Sheepo is a quirky metroidvania platformer featuring a shape-shifting sheep-thing that needs to collect samples of each living species on an uncharted planet. Developed by Kyle Thompson, it is available on Xbox One as a full version game. The game is all about traversing the planet, collecting eggs, and transforming into different creatures to explore deeper regions of the planet.
The gameplay of Sheepo is based on platforming and exploration, and there is no standard combat involved. The game offers tight platforming with a variety of creatures to play as. Each creature has its own moves, which adds freshness to the gameplay. The sprawling landscape of the planet is filled with hidden rooms and characters, including old mines, a mall, lush forests, and sewer systems.
Sheepo offers non-linear gameplay, as the map opens up after a while, allowing players to make their own route. Additionally, there are over 100 hidden feathers to collect, which can be spent as currency at the last remaining shop in DeadMall.
Overall, Sheepo is an enjoyable metroidvania platformer that offers a unique experience with its quirky story and gameplay mechanics.
