Every time I think I understand AVWW, it changes into something else! Arcen have their work cut out with this one, but by the looks of things, they're going to deliver something completely unique.

Diehard GameFAN: A Valley Without Wind 1 and 2 Review

DHGF: It is difficult to explain what kind of game A Valley Without Wind is, the first title is sort of an action RPG/platformer/resource management game. Sort of like Actraiser (congrats if you know that game; you’re probably old too) but with a large amount of additional things to do and pay attention too. A Valley Without Wind 2 is less action RPG and more and action platform jumping game with light RPG elements mixed with a kind of strategy board game. Both are procedurally generated affairs, meaning that the first time you start the game it creates a world from scratch. Create a new world and it will not be the same as the one previously generated.
