Atomic Owl soars onto Steam and GOG July 15th!

Denver, Colorado - June 3rd, 2025 - Developer Monster Theater Games takes flight with its debut title Atomic Owl, a fast-paced hack ‘n slash platformer infused with synthwave vibes and retro pixel art. Built as a true roguelite inspired by the SNES era, Atomic Owl brings vibrant visuals, punishing combat, and endless replayability to PC this summer.


Players will step into the talons of Hidalgo Bladewing, an Owl Shinobi armed with a chaotic, wise-cracking sword, and fight through eight procedurally generated zones filled with danger and discovery.


Atomic Owl launches July 15 on PC via Steam and GOG for $19.99 USD (or regional equivalent), with a 10% launch discount available on Steam. Atomic Owl's OST will also be available in digital format for a small fee.


Atomic Owl recently debuted its latest trailer during the Best Indie Games Summer Showcase. Check it out below!

About Monster Theater Games


F
ounded in 2022, and having recently undergone a shift into development and publishing, Monster Theater is a beacon for the strange, esoteric, and the nostalgic. Gone are the days of draining 200-hour sagas, unsavory loot boxes, and a fractured trust between players and developers. Monster Theater's ethos is outsider art and games that are small, but powerful. Founded by Eldar Basic and Valentina Castro in 2022, we're a collection of game developers from all completely different backgrounds, with new and engaging ideas for how single-player games are presented, and are looking to make our mark in games with Atomic Owl and future titles.
