Evaluation

Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc released on November 7, 2014 as a complete strategy defense RPG. The developer supported the game with several patches in the months following launch (November and early 2015), then shifted focus to releasing new games in the same series — Winged Sakura: Demon Civil War (December 8, 2016), Winged Sakura: Endless Dream (October 6, 2017), and finally Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc 2 (April 26, 2019). Each of these releases offered loyalty bonuses to owners of this game, but none represented additional content for Mindy's Arc itself. The April 26, 2019 launch of Mindy's Arc 2 is the last developer communication associated with this game's Steam page. The sole DLC — the game's soundtrack — was released on launch day in 2014 and is the only additional content ever released. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content, and no post-2019 developer activity. The game launched as a complete product, received minor post-launch patches, and the developer's attention has fully moved on to sequels.

About this game

Winged Sakura: Mindy's Arc is a fast-paced, anime-themed Strategy Defense game with RPG mechanics that tells the story of Mindy Akumori, a weak girl who is suffering from amnesia. The story takes place in an unknown dimensional world where Mindy is trapped inside a mysterious building. The building contains a Sakura Platform that allows her to teleport to various locations within the dimensional world, known as Entrances.

In this era, Sakura (also known as Cherry Blossoms) are magical flowers that grant humans the ability to become Sakura Contractors, giving them extraordinary powers. If the Contractor dies, the Sakura dies. If the Sakura dies, the Contractor dies.

Will Mindy recover her memories? Will she survive and make it back to her world alive? Help Mindy and become her savior.

Key Features

  • A Brand New Innovative Defense System: The characters (Spirits) you summon onto the battlefield are stationary and only remain active for a few seconds. You have complete control over each Spirit's target, but they disappear if an enemy collides with them.

  • Strategic Pause: Plan your moves, queue up actions, and take all the time you need. There's no rush. Enjoy the game at your own pace.

  • Leveling Up System: Unlock a total of 16 Spirits and level them up to 99!

  • Skill System: Customize your playstyle with a skill tree featuring 12 Active Skills and 8 Passive Skills. Experiment and discover the build that's right for you.

  • An Expandable Shop System: After successfully completing a level, the shop has a chance to permanently unlock a new item. Expand the shop until you've unlocked every item in the game!

  • Crafting and Enchanting System: Enchant your equipment up to a maximum level of 99! Discover crafting recipes and create powerful items for all of your Spirits.

  • Survival Mode (End game content): After completing the main game, put your skills to the test in our endless Survival Mode. A total of 4 additional Spirits can be unlocked in this mode. Are you good enough to conquer the challenge and unlock all 16 Spirits?

  • Steam Leaderboards: Compete against other players and show off your skills. Do you have what it takes to earn a place on the Insane Mode Leaderboards? (An internet connection is required for full Steam Leaderboards functionality. Steam Leaderboards can be disabled in the in-game options.)
