Summerwind is a delightfully retro RPG that\'s ten years in the making

by Emma Apr 24,2025

Summerwind, an eagerly awaited retro throwback RPG, has been meticulously crafted by a single developer over the span of more than a decade. This labor of love is finally set to enchant mobile gamers after spending some time on the shelf. In Summerwind, players step into the shoes of a young woman named Ivi, who possesses the unique ability to tame monsters. Accompanied by her loyal dinosaur companion, Ivi embarks on a thrilling adventure to delve into a mysterious dungeon and thwart a magical storm that threatens the entire world.

True to its throwback nature, Summerwind embraces the nostalgia of classic RPGs, maintaining both the visual and gameplay conventions of the past. Players will engage in challenging turn-based battles against a variety of formidable creatures as they navigate the depths of the dungeon.

Despite being built with only 216 colors, adhering to the original VGA limit, Summerwind's visuals are far from lackluster. The game's stunning palette and crisp, crunchy graphics are sure to captivate even the most discerning players.

For those seeking a rich narrative, Summerwind promises to deliver with a cast of intriguing characters. From the Adventurer Pig, a renowned explorer, to Wolf, a researcher pivotal to understanding the mysterious magical storm, the game offers a compelling story that unfolds as you progress.
