Animal Gods is little more than a disappointing glimpse of what might have been. [Dec 2015, p.60]

Cute but ultimately forgettable, Animal Gods is a slow, short ride that some will enjoy, but it's not much more than a pleasing time-killer that's over before you know it.

Easy on the eyes and the ears, this game is fun to see and listen to. It could have had more gameplay content though - the journey just ended too soon.

Animal Gods has nice visuals and music but almost no gameplay. Bearing also in mind its short duration it fails to deliver a complete experience.

It could have been quite the fantastic surprise with a larger budget and more experienced developers. The ingredients for a great 2D action open world game were all there after all. Unluckily, they were all badly implemented and mixed with a cryptic and boring story. It’s more a pointless exercise in style than a game, and even a short one. Truly a pity.

There’s a lot of potential in here, gasping for air – I’m hopeful for whatever they turn their hands to next. But Animal Gods is merely a demo, a testing-ground for Still Games to learn their trade.

The art is nice and the music even has a zen-like quality to it but they cannot redeem the frustration that this game provides.

SummaryThe Animal Gods have fallen. Once sacred, they are now husks—haunted beasts lost to toxic fumes from a great bronze industry. Assume the role of Thistle, a small and agile hunter determined to destroy the curse that plagues these creatures. Wield a 17th century BC Bronze Sword... and set the Gods free.
