Wings of Vi is a challenging 2D platformer in which the player controls the angel Vi, tasked with defeating the Demon Lord Jeh’oul after he is freed from captivity. While inspired by masochistic retro platformers, Wings of Vi aims to cut out arbitrary difficulty in favor of skill based gameplay.

The value story

It has never been cheaper than $6.74. That was December 2025. Its cuts run 35 percent off as a rule. There have been 60 in the 12 years tracked, about 9 weeks apart.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 9 percent on value. It is pricier than 86 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 78 percent. On the same math Celeste ($19.99, scores 76) and Kaze and the Wild Masks ($9.99, scores 74) are the better buys, and they are the games it most resembles.

Inside the two-hour refund window, 54 percent of the 139 reviews written there were positive, against 79 percent overall, and those are 15 percent of everything written about it.

Finishing takes 19.5 hours; clearing it takes 86, which is 4.4 times the campaign.

Valve rates it Steam Deck Verified, so it runs on the handheld without fiddling.

No achievement in this game marks the ending, so there is no finish rate. The curve runs from the most-unlocked achievement to the rarest, and its shape is where players stop. Steam global achievements

What players say

This is a great game for it's time, but do not be mistaken - It has aged poorly in terms of quality of life features and it has plenty of bugs that detract from the games overall great vibe. That being said, do not worry about feeling frustrated about the platforming, as once you solve most puzzles and timings, they are straightforward. But the paired with inconsistent respawning and often respawns into clips walls...

не могу пройти дальше первого экрана на клавомыши, потому что не нашла всех кнопок для управления. 10/10

Movement is clunky. Combat is boring. It's essentially a rage game disguised as a cute plataformer. While the difficulty isn't *unfair*, playing the same 10 seconds of gameplay over and over gets old really fast.
