Evaluation
Wings of Vi launched on November 28, 2014 and received a steady stream of bug fix and feature patches in the months following release. The last meaningful update to the game itself was Patch 1.14 on July 15, 2017, which added a new mirror mode modifier and a range of community-requested quality-of-life improvements. The developer's subsequent communications have been entirely about other projects — the release of a separate game called Roah in November 2019, a Switch port update in October 2020, and most recently an announcement on December 19, 2025 of a full sequel, Wings of Vi 2: Guardian's Heart. Nothing in any of these posts suggests further content is planned for the original Wings of Vi. The sequel announcement confirms the developer's creative energy has moved on to a new project. Wings of Vi itself shipped as a complete game and its post-launch update activity concluded with that July 2017 patch.

About this game
Wings of Vi is a challenging 2D platformer in which you play as the angel Vi, tasked with defeating the Demon Lord Jeh’oul after he is freed from captivity. Throughout her journey she must traverse dangerous worlds and fight countless hellspawn in order to discover where Jeh’Oul lurks and save the world from his demonic clutch.
The game takes inspiration from "Megaman", "Cave Story", and "Castlevania", along with a host of masochistic retro platformers, while cutting out the arbitrary difficulty of hidden traps and pixel-perfect jumps in favor of skill based gameplay. The game aims to capture the attention of the same core group of players as its spiritual precursor, "I Wanna be the Boshy", including the hardcore-platformer lovers and the speedrunning community, all while appealing to a broader audience through a variety of difficulty levels and modifiers.
Challenging Gameplay
Wings of Vi is an action platformer that brings to best out of old-school platformers while removing most of the arbitrary difficulty brought with them. That being said, you will die. A lot. But don’t let that turn you off! There’s three different difficulties and some hidden modifiers catered to multiple audiences, so you’re sure to find a challenge setting suitable for you.
Intense Bossfights
Battle your way through treacherous terrain and devilish enemies before facing up against epic bosses. Fight against a clumsy satyress, giant dreadnought, possessed angel, and more in tough-as-nails clashes.
Crisp Pixel Graphics
Explore a world crafted in stunning SNES-inspired pixel art, where each level is complete with its own unique tileset, background, bosses, enemies, and more.
Online Leaderboards
Battle your friends or random folks on the internet for a spot at the top of online leaderboards. The boards track your completion time and deaths, separated into sections based on both difficulty and game modifiers. There’s even a section for boss rush!
Achievements, Secrets, and Customization!
Tackle your foes in unorthodox ways or complete special challenges to earn achievements with unique rewards. Explore hidden depths and complete treacherous platforming to discover secrets, unlocking cosmetics and new attacks to customize Vi!
