I just finished Mortal Difficulty. I want to start with what kept me playing despite the difficulty and some questionable game design decisions. If you like variety in your 2D platformer, this has it in spades. As for the worlds/levels, each of them offers a variety of challenges in such a way that no 2 rooms feel the same. So there isn't really a difficulty spike within the world. It is more about anticipating or dreading the next challenge different from the last. The bosses are about the same caliber. They are all unique with their own gimmicks. That way the game never feels stale. Now the difficulty. There are 0 knockbacks when you hit an enemy. This is probably the main difficulty issue when you have faster mobs combined with tricky platforming. Fortunately, the platforming alone is not insanely hard and most of the levels do not involve platforming with mobs. Basically a very bumpy ride to the boss. About the controls, I'm not a fan of the fact that each game specific actions doesn't have their own specific buttons. It is a very annoying inconvenience, but also a forgivable one, since the controls are mostly very tight and responsive, a bit like celeste. So in the end, if you love platformers and want a unique and different experience, I highly recommend this game.

I just beat this game after playing it off and on for years. I started on Mortal mode and stuck with it although in retrospect, it might have been better to do an Angel playthrough first. The last boss took me over 21 hours and 1200 deaths (over a couple months). There are so many challenging parts, but every time I hit a wall, I was able to overcome it with enough practice and patience. I love everything about it and it's definitely one of my proudest gaming achievements, even if no one else understands it except the few who have personally experienced it.

One of the most deliciously frustrating games I've ever played. While incredibly difficult, I found myself dedicated to this game when I was in high school a decade ago. Every loss made me want to try harder. It kept bringing me back. The movement in this game just feels good. It's tight yet fluid. Combat is hard as hell, but over time you get better and better. I would highly recommend this game to anyone seeking a serious challenge. If you're more of a casual/cozy gamer this game might not be for you

It's been a good 8 years since I got this game and since then I have played it on and off merely because of how much I like it. It's hard to remember because by now my hands have memorized every instance of danger in this game but back then this game felt utterly brutal in my first playthrough, specially bosses like Electran, Amethyst, Ancient Constructs and Supreme Je'Oul and levels like Sinister Grotto, The Chambers and Path of Decay. This game takes every opportunity to seem impossible and turns that onto you making you think you don't have enough jumps or even making you doubt your own dexterity, you will need a lot of dexterity for this game my hands don't forget the pain this game caused on them 8 years ago. I recommend this game to anyone who is already familiar with dexterity heavy games like I wanna be the guy, I wanna be the boshy (who Grynsoft is the developer of), Marrow, Spelunky, TowerClimb, Rain World, From Software games or Touhou (or any shmup for that matter). When it comes to designs, characters really pop-tf-out in this game, Vi specially if you decide to collect every customizable item in the game but that requires getting into doing the bosses flawless which, considering the percentages of completion on those achievements, is no easy feat. Gameplay feels really tight, you have complete control over Vi's movement with barely any drift, but she feels kinda tall so most of the time you'll probably get damaged for not considering her height, or not considering how much you can achieve with 2 jumps and a flutter of her wings. The bosses have specific cycles of attack with some variations between them, for example the Twin Orcs close to the endgame take turns jumping onto the platform you're on and always do the exact same attacks in the exact same time, but at the end of the cycle they have 3 options of attacking you at the same time. These cycles make the bosses manageable but the more random parts there are to them the more difficult they tend to be, such as round 2 with Myugi. As of the time of this review I'm going through another run for this game, to see if this time beating Supreme Je'Oul actually counts to the steam achievements. 10/10, would replay even in my deathbed.

May 2024

Wings of Vi is a platforming game for those who want to push themselfs further within this type of game. The entire game never feels repetitive, and the bosses are very enjoyable to learn and to master. If games like Ori and Super Meat Boy are too hard for you, just run away from it. Overall, a great game which is quite unique even for today.
