Our take on Wings of Vi
The page frames the game as avoiding arbitrary retro-platformer difficulty, but it also says Vi will die frequently. The available difficulty levels and modifiers change the challenge, not the game’s demanding platforming focus.
What is Wings of Vi?
Control Vi, an angel pursuing the escaped Demon Lord Jeh’oul through dangerous worlds.
This 2D action platformer combines traversal, fights against hellspawn, and demanding boss encounters. Three difficulty levels and hidden modifiers provide different challenge settings. The game removes hidden traps and pixel-perfect jumps associated with some retro platformers, while frequent deaths remain part of play. Levels use SNES-inspired pixel art, with distinct tilesets, backgrounds, enemies, and bosses. Online leaderboards record completion times and deaths across difficulty and modifier categories, including a separate boss-rush section. Achievements, secrets, cosmetics, and additional attacks offer extra objectives. The game is aimed at hardcore platformer players and speedrunners, while its difficulty options are intended to support a broader range of players.
