Worlds Upon The Wind

An excellent game, with clever mechanics and well balanced progression. The art and music are also lovely. An absolute steal at this price!

This game is fun, even when you botch your card choices. Takes some strategy, knowing your deck. Make sure to collect any resources (right click cards that you haven't been able to use, that have resources on them, before Drawing your second hand (Redraw Hand button). I played the Kanji minigame, though I don't know Kanji. I tried to figure out what was being depicted from the structure of the symbol to see if I could figure out the word it matched. The art gallery and history is beautiful. Well worth the price.

Finally a game where i can relax. It all feels very important, but then you buy upgrades and all that thinking did not matter. It feels both really intense and really calming.

What a breath of fresh air! I was worried it might be an overly complicated cultivation something-or-another, but it's a lot more straightforward than screenshots suggest. Great emergent storytelling, fun to see different cultures emerge, and enough depth if you want it. You can even use it as a Japanese study tool! Probably the most fun I've had with a game in a while.

Played the demo for 7 hours straight in the first session, and for another ~25 hours after. Nuff said.

Game feels very unique and you can't judge how fun it is by just a screenshot or watching someone else play it. Demo is the best way for me to understand what the hook of the game is. Game is structured as a story campaign that introduces the player to the game, and as story quests are completed in roguelite expeditions, more game mechanics are introduced. As you progress in the story, the stronger you get, but additional challenges and harder quests are given. Very fluid difficulty curve. The game is quite chill with its difficulty. There is no hard failure state, as you always get some unlock currency at the end and you can just attempt the mission again. Game also has effectively side quests that require a different approach to completing them. While events can have negative outcomes, the results are remembered, so you usually don't get punished by them again (never with some planning). Some rewards are very powerful, and the game gives enough information to let the player actually somewhat plan around events and the items they provide. Surprisingly deep game if the player is willing to utilize all the information the game has to offer.

This is a really charming game. It is a bit like Against the Storm in that each settlement is it's own game and then you have to start a series of settlements but without the stress. I'm not much of a deckbuilder player but this one is fairly easy and straightforward. The music is lovely, as is the art work. It definitely has that "just one more round" addictive quality to it. The vibe is chill and relaxing, which is exactly what I've been looking for for the end of long, busy work days. Being able to learn about the history of the Japanese artwork is lovely as well. There is a minigame that can help you learn some Japanese but I haven't tried that yet. All in all a really lovely, relaxing vibe of a game.

This is such a relaxing and well made game. You can easily sit down and work on a run or two and be done in a short time or get lost in it and let time fly by as you immerse yourself in this charming puzzle oriented deck builder with very enjoyable to read event and lore built around your runs.
