Blazing Beaks casts you as one of a roster of armed birds fighting through rooms of creatures while searching for the source of an invasion. Story mode supports solo play or local co-op for two players.
Shoot enemies, dodge hazards, and explore procedurally generated levels for weapons, items, and artifacts. Runs can be played in normal, seeded, daily, or challenge modes; death sends you back to the start.
Artifacts bring penalties while carried, but can be exchanged at supply shops for rewards, making each pickup a risk-versus-reward choice. Characters have different abilities, and local tournament modes let two to four players compete in several arena formats.
Players who enjoy Blazing Beaks often point to its risky artifact mechanic, which makes carrying debuffs toward a shop a tense choice, and to the challenge of surviving each run. Reviews also praise playing locally with friends, the characterful art and music, and the weapons and item variety. Others find the difficulty and randomness frustrating or the runs repetitive.
