Isle of Ewe tests your platforming skills as you’re entrusted with the seemingly simple task of securing your wayward flock.
Sheep aren’t exactly the brightest livestock in the field, but you’d die for the cuddly balls of wool, right?
You’re the shepherd. You have one job. It just isn’t your typical pasture. With the disappearance of a beloved sheep named Ramsey, you’re more than motivated to begin your sheep-reclaiming journey. You’ll start out in some relaxed, gentle-handed areas with less daunting challenges. That’s just to lull you into a false sense of security. You’ll be reeling from the heat when you’re trying to land those jumps with molten lava at your heels, or a boulder barreling down behind you. All while rescuing and carrying your flock to safety.
Platforming won’t be your only obstacle throughout Isle of Ewe, though. As you progress, you might find some golems that need a snack and aren’t exactly in a good mood when they’re hungry. You’ll also be faced with tricky puzzles that you’ll need the help of your flock to solve. It’s a lot of work (and sheep) to balance, but your woolly friends believe in you. Plus, while you’re running for your life, you’ll have to appreciate some of the visuals. And what better company than a flock of sheep?
If you’re up for the challenge, the reward of carrying back an entire flock of sheep on your head is quite a sight to see. What shepherd can say they’ve done the same?
