"Summerwind: A Retro RPG Decade in the Making"

Author : Sarah Apr 27,2025

Summerwind, an eagerly anticipated retro throwback RPG, has been meticulously crafted by a dedicated single developer over the span of more than a decade. This labor of love is now on the brink of reaching mobile gamers after a significant time on the shelf. In Summerwind, players will step into the shoes of a young woman named Ivi, who has the unique ability to tame monsters. Accompanied by her loyal dinosaur companion, Ivi embarks on an epic adventure to navigate the depths of a mysterious dungeon and thwart a magical storm that endangers the entire world.

Embracing the charm of classic RPGs, Summerwind stays true to the visual and gameplay conventions of the past. Players will engage in challenging turn-based battles against a variety of formidable creatures as they delve deeper into the dungeon. The game's visual appeal is crafted with only 216 colors, adhering to the original VGA limit, yet it manages to deliver a stunning palette and crisp visuals that will captivate even the most discerning players.
