Wind Child

[h1] Game Summary: [/h1] I will say that this game doesn't do a great job of putting its best foot forward. The title card is fan-service, with a late-game character overshadowing the heroine all to put cleavage at the fore-front. It seems like a really cheap way to bring attention to the game, which is especially foolhardy as there's nothing remotely like that in the game itself. Distractions aside, this RPG Maker game does begin clumsily and there are flaws throughout holding the game back from what it could have been. [h1] Pros: [/h1] • It begins slowly, but the story does become fairly engaging if you're able to stick with the game. For those 10% of people who give the game a few hours, 8% wind up playing through 'til the very end. Clearly though, people do give up on the game quickly, as about 20% of people boot it up and don't play it at all. • I prefer this style of game where enemy encounters are represented by avatars you can either choose to fight or avoid, as op...

It's a bit of a bait and switch. A catfish if you will. Clickbait one might say. Bewbs are front and centre in the thumbnail, yet there is no such celebration of the female form within the games content.

I enjoyed this game very much and would like to recommend it to the small group of people who enjoy good RPG Maker games with excellent storyline. This game have nice graphics and well thought out character design where you can control a team of 5 characters, each with unique elementary skills. These 5 people are also intricatedly interconnected, and they start to bond with each other as the plot progress. I played and complete the game in 29 hours. I was able to get all steam achievements in a single playthrough, and all the achievements are hard to miss and are given to you as you advance in the plot. I played on Windows 7 and the game works perfectly fine without any hanging or crashing.

Having finished, I can't give a reccomendation, for a very unfortunate reason. The writing starts off very weak. But you can easily see the writers improve as it goes on, and by the end it gets outright exciting, as everything starts coming to a head, the game builds to a really dramatic crescendo... Then it tells you to wait for the sequel. Which, judging by the fact the game was listed as "Wind Child" instead of "Wind Child Black", the actual full name, and that Valkyria Studios hasn't appeared since the early 2010s, can be safely said to be never happening. Edit: There have ben certain updates that show that Wind Child White is still in development. But there's still so little information it's still not enough to reverse my review.

So I can and can't recommend this game. The story was really nice, especially after playing so many RPG maker games with zero effort into plot. But also, the game itself had a sort of weird ending? Not quite sure if there's a sequel coming out or not, but it left a lot of loose ends. Some things were seemingly tossed in kind of carelessly to appeal to that 'random' factor, and it's charming to a point, but I still found myself sort of frustrated with the way things ended up. Had good music, and is for Rpg maker fans who prefer a lot of story as opposed to minimal story. I'd rate this along the lines of a 6/10 solely because there were still some grammatical errors, plot holes (maybe I'm wrong, but I did seem to think there were a few), and the end seemed kind of rushed. All in all a fun experience, and got about 11 hours out of the game, which is pretty good for the price, I do believe I got it on sale.

Combat is incredibly slow and boring. Levelling up grants no visible improvement to your characters. Also the sprites are clearly not aligned correctly, as seen when you try to walk a narrow path. Also the tiles are not configured coirrectly, you can walk into the first tile of a wall, and then you are stuck there unless you walk down (all other movement is blocked).

I love rpg maker games but not this one. Most of the time I was busy skipping text walls not worth reading! The story is really thin and teenager-like. Not good written, either. The maps are okay, but the battles are slow and boring, there is really nothing special about the game. I guess there are people who could enjoy it, but if you look for a great game, please look elsewhere.

GOOD trading card

Pros + Good soundtracks + Good scenario + Well done characters Cons +Hours and hours and hours of unstoppable dialogue +There is only dialogue and walking for hours and nothing else, it's more like a movie than a game

RPG Maker strikes again! Wind Child is one of hundreds of low effort retro-pixel RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer. The point can be made that the intention of RPG Maker is to make demos and small games to pass around friends, and shouldn't be used for "professional" game development. This time Andorlea/Warfare/SimProse/whatever other shell account this guy uses to try hide his identity has once more stamped out a painfully generic copy + paste RPG Maker a...
