58 of 58 · most liked firstGame Summary: 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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wind Child is another excellent addition to my growing library of the classic style rpg games that is driven by a well crafted and interesting story that is character driven and quickly draws the player into the events. Driven to rescue an innocent girl who is wrongly kidnapped at the beginning of the story, the heroes face many circumstances of peril, weather, evildoers whose agendas are unknown, and, of course, monsters of all sorts in a complex and labyrinthine setting where searching…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, it is clearly a RPG maker game. You can see that from the screenshots i posted on here. That does not make it a bad game.....What makes it a bad game is there are some bugs in it, such as pathfinding (able to walk into certain walls that were not intentional). The developer needed to test this game more a bit..they could fix these issues and i could show them where if they came back on here. Anyways, interesting story, but the audience is not really told much, apparently, until the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…

This one on the other hand looks like the developers have taken some care and attention to their game. There is a interesting story line, and great opening cutscene that just makes you ask…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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).
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I just finished Wind Child today, and am completely blown away. It was pretty good for an RPGmaker game. I loved the dialogue, the sarcasm and insults were on point. A lot of it made me laugh. There was also a lot of inspirational words and moments throughout the entire game, which I liked a lot. This game is hefty on the dialogue, which I like as a writer who loves to make conversation. I got to do voices and have some fun with it too. The characters were pretty dang good as well. I got…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →GOOD trading card
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wind Child - RPG made with love. Advantages: + Interesting story + Sound + Cool Drawing A good, quality game, I recommend to all fans of the genre, especially now at a discount)
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Not Recommended
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →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…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not easy and that makes it interesting, I really liked the story, the dialogues and the characters are the best. But anyways, you need a lot of patience.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Game for fans of the genre. Very good storyline. Good panache, great music. The story is very interesting as are some of the characters you meet along the way. Price is very good. Very pleased with the presence of collectors' cards and achievements. If you like RPG, you do not even have to think ... you need to buy ... And hurry while discount)) Many thanks to the developer for this masterpiece!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wind Child is another game that showed promise yet failed to deliver. While from a gameplay standpoint the game itself is solid, there are still some things that could be improved upon. The largest and most glaring thing to me was the lack of aoe spells. It wasn't until I was two-thirds of the way through the game that I was given any sort of aoe spell. Speaking of spells, there were few items that improved upon magic defense. Considering that spells are the main source of damage later in the…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →A gentle, atmospheric little game with a relaxing flow. Short but soothing.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →i love the part where you marry the hot as elf chick and form a hot harrem and ♥♥♥♥ i dunno i never played the game
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Some parts of this sweet game really challenged me. It was hard to understand at first but then I got the hang of it and finished the game. I wish I could forget it and play it again. It was a nice experience. I recommend it to those who like this kind of 2D games. ^^ <3
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →It's not an easy game and that makes it great for those who like a good challenge, Its got a decent story and I would recommend to anyone who likes all of these RPGMaker games.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I wasn’t really impressed with this game, but overall “Wind Child” is not a bad JRPG. You get a good story of finding an abducted childhood friend on the background of a world-scale conflict and ancient genocide, and a good party of friends to help you. On the other hand, the combat system leaves much to be desired, and while the enemies are visible, it’s quite annoying that they always respawn after you transit in between the zones. Graphics and music are also somewhat average. Moreover, the…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →First, this is a RPGMaker game. That means the graphics may not be to some people's liking. The game itself has an engaging premise and plot, and interesting combat. You start as a gypsy girl... whose friend is kidnapped. And now you must find out how to rescue her... and save the world, because once you start after her, it gets much more interesting... Good game.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I am 32 years old. My ex-wife and I have a daughter together, and we adopted our son together. Both are now 4 years old. When we were going through our separation, I felt lost and unhappy. I was self-destructive. One day, I was so angry with everything spiraling out of control that I punched a concrete wall in a moment of overwhelming emotion. This resulted in breaking my fifth metacarpal in my right hand—the hand I worked with, played games with, and used to carry my children to bed—the hand…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wind Child needs to blow away. Story Abysmal in every meaning of the word, from the dialogue writing to the plot's narrative and pacing. Players take control of a young girl named Alexia, living out her happy little country life in an empire that's at war. While visiting a town with her adoptive sister, she steps away briefly before suddenly seeing her sister being kidnapped by a man in armor. Returning to her village with no idea what to do, the village elder tells her that only she can…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I got this on sale for ? 2$. And for that I say yes. $5 is stiff if you remember the "buy used PS2 at gamestop days" and compare. It is not a strong like. There are pros and cons. There is a allot of "blandness" to it? But at the same time, hard to explain, good story (dialog you can actually read not rush to skip), music that is not rpgmaker re-hash music, and art that is not in other rpgmaker games. Say - if you get a few $2 games and a few free ones will you set this aside never open…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game is outdated and looks bad in 2020. But overall very interesting
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Wind Child is an adventure game made with RPG Maker. The premise of the story, is that a young girl with mysterious parentage must rescue her kidnapped friend, and runs into trouble against a powerful wizard, among other things, along the way. The gameplay is linear, and the plot is engaging and well-paced. Your party starts off with just the main character, and new ones are introduced as the story progresses, up to a maximum of four. There are more than four that join your party, but not at…

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →what is this micro-resolution of 6xx by 5xx?
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Started off a little slow and confusing, with a slow battle system. However, there were several things I really enjoyed about this game. One was the storyline. Once it gets a little further in, you start to appreciate the characters, their roles/abilities. And the dialogue is quite witty and really funny at times. I also appreciated having visible monsters that I could actually walk around if I needed to explore (which you will have to). The only negative was that the ending was quite a…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I can and can't recommend this game at once. I will begin with good sides of the game: Story: It's really fine, there are many threads you need to follow and the story itself is not straight-forward. You need to read dialogues to know what to do, as quest log is not updating frequently - which is a great positive. NPCs know about RPG system, including turns, ATB, equip and stuff like this. There are also many references to Final Fantasy series. If there would be a book written in that world, I…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Great game with a good story line! Unlike some games, there is plenty of cash to upgrade weapons and learn new spells, and it isn't required to upgrade every time you hit a new area. Looking forward to the sequel!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The classic RPG about five souls. Really worth to take it, even without the discount. Aldorlea Games bad games doesn't make!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I liked the game. It needed a little more development. Would I recommend it? Yes.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Podría ser un JRPG regular, pero tiene de los peores mapas que he visto nunca en un JRPG. En serio, son horribles, hay literalmente un laberinto que tienes que recorrer a oscuras, y no es el peor mapa del juego. Lo pillé a 0.39 €, y aún así es mala compra.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I'm sure 99% of people don't read the reviews. So you may not know that Naruto can be a bit harsh sometimes. You may not know this, but Naruto also grew up without a father. In fact, he never met either of his parents and never had any friends.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Really nice looking classic rpg.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Nice game for me. Thaks to the authors.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →You can see the cracks on this game at times. Ambiance not playing, wall collisions not placed in spots, etc. But I really like this for what it is. Not bad for a small scale RPG maker game. Nothing crazy amazing but it's worth playing. Get it on sale if you're on the fence.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I didn't like the game, because it's not my genre, I hope I'll change my review later
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Dull, repetitive, and the story is unfinished. Not worth playing if they're not going to release the sequel.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →- Majority of the game has no music while walking, not even generic RPGmaker music - Graphics that are praised to be "not in other RPGmaker games" are, in fact, from Aveyond 2. - The battle system is asinine, the leveling system is far too grindworthy with no AOE attacks, AOE attacks are purchased. At 10 hours in I finally have a character who can attack all enemies, but there aren't enough stores to resupply for mana. - The pathing is ridiculous, I can walk onto the 2nd story of the map…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed this game. This had plenty of adventure,humor and character growth. There were some graphic errors that allowed me to bypass important parts of the game. I didn't realize this until later and had a new character in my group. The story kept referencing this new characters history and home that I had not seen. I may play again to that point so I can at least see that part. While this is a goof,it is not a big one and the game was still quite enjoyable. The spell graphics were new to me…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This game has nice graphics and seems like it could be an interesting game. The game starts with a boss battle, and then you spend the next half hour just aimlessly wandering around without much happening. I started to lose interest in the game a little bit after that.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good rpg maker game. Not sure what the complaints are about the story or characters. Most are enough to make you smile at the very least.
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Played for about an hour and the battle system is a pretty poor, doesn't show all the enemies in the battle. They appear as you defeat what's on screen. Some enemy sprites are so small I didn't even notice them. No place to heal in the beginning of the game, so hope you get healing items from battles you survive. Since the beginning is so frustrating, I can't recommend the game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Definitely love this game! It's fun and super challenging which i kind of like!
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Loved it! Great plot/characters, lots of funny scenes, music at boss fight was awesome! Wish I could've gone back to places I'd been to before. I did not like the confusing moments (thank God for the guide), spelling errors, and cliff-hanger conclusion. Left a lot of plot holes and unanswered questions. We never find out who the main character really is and why she has mysterious abilities, characters did not get shipped even though there was a little kiss there at the end, we don't know if…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a RPG game. Not my type but not that bad either so if you like RPG you should try it. My score Gameplay 7/10 Graphics 7/10 Sounds 5/10 Summary 19/30
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I enjoyed playing this game. I played it until the end which has a to be continued ending. I like the story. I like the characters. I can hardly wait for Wind Child White to come out so I can continue the story. I like to be coninued games because it says there's gonna be more later. This was a fun game to play and I look forward to the sequel. I like buying spellbooks for characters and finfding some too. I just hope we keep our characters weapons, armor, accessories and level and skills.
