Summerwind: A Retro RPG Ten Years in the Making

Author : Joseph May 07,2025

Summerwind, a retro-inspired RPG crafted over more than a decade by a single developer, is set to captivate fans of classic gaming. This labor of love is finally making its way to mobile devices, offering a nostalgic journey into a fantasy world where you step into the shoes of Ivi, a young woman with the unique ability to tame monsters. Accompanied by her loyal dinosaur companion, Ivi embarks on an epic quest to navigate a mysterious dungeon and halt a magical storm that endangers the entire world.

True to its throwback roots, Summerwind embraces the visual and gameplay conventions of yesteryears. Engage in challenging turn-based battles against a host of formidable creatures as you delve deeper into the dungeon's secrets. The game's aesthetic, limited to just 216 colors reminiscent of the original VGA palette, delivers a visually striking experience that blends a gorgeous color scheme with crisp, engaging graphics, appealing even to those who might typically prioritize visuals in their gaming choices.
