What players think
The recurring themes across 77 analysed reviews: what players praise, what divides them, and what to know.
Winds Of Arcana: Ruination is an ambitious action-driven Metroidvania that blends traditional side-scrolling exploration with flexible combat systems and a strong narrative focus.
The graphics and overall artwork are amazing.
In addition, Relics (think charms and notches of Hollow Knight) bring an extra layer of strategy into the mix by having you pair different passive abilities together, depending on your preferred gameplay style.
The music, SFX, and general atmosphere also fit the world nicely.
