✦ AI summary
The Wind and Wilting Blossom is praised as an engaging roguelike with FTL-style progression and tactical turn-based combat featuring positioning mechanics and good unit variety. Players appreciate its unique art style and Japanese setting, though it's noted as an underrated gem that hasn't received much mainstream attention. No significant complaints are mentioned in these reviews.
The Wind and Wilting Blossom is a superb roguelike with FTL style progression and Heroes of Might and Magic style (single unit stack) combat. Upgrades, unit, and weapon variety are engaging. Combat is quick and adds an interesting wrinkle of asking you to position your units in such a way to manually collect dropped treasure before the fight ends. The artwork is consistent and unique. Strong recommend.1 found this helpful
Have you ever think, "Man, I wish Shigatari had a sequel."
Rating: 5/5 ★★★★★ Great and engaging turn-based tactics in Japanese setting
There is no honour but to the Emperor. There is no duty but to die in his name.
A very fun roguelike with pretty unique and, in my opinion, very nice art that sadly flew under most people's radar. Definitely worth a buy.
