Cataegis: The White Wind is a retro-styled action platformer developed by Acido Cinza and published by KISS Ltd that blends classic side-scrolling gameplay with science-fiction storytelling and demanding arcade-inspired combat. Built with clear admiration for older generations of action games, it embraces a design philosophy centered around precision, movement mastery, and skill development rather than accessibility...

These First Impressions were done with a key from the developer Summary: Remember the days of NES Hard? Remember the games that focused on patterns and precise moments like Ninja Gaiden and Strider? That's basically what Cataegis: The White Wind attempts to emulate, and it does it to a reasonable extent. It's hard, but as you learn the patterns you get better, and the mix of contra like weaponry and the slicing and...

Old side-scrolling games I remember playing back in the day were Sonic 2 and Alien Carnage, but when it comes to this game, I can’t differ. This game does feature a main character with a set mind on saving the world. I can already list more than a dozen games off the top of my mind with that plot. The game play is also similar with the games that I used to play in the past. In Cataegis: The White Wind you can destroy...

4.9/10 - A "Two-Bit" "8-Bit" Retro Story; With a High Difficulty! This game was a borderline decision for me; honestly it could have gone either way. I even anticipate some people will really enjoy this. Overall, it was just too difficult and the controls were not fluid enough for me to master or truely enjoy the game. This game offers some really challanging gameplay; love it or hate it... Its definately not worth...

Follow my Curator page, Fruit N Doggie Reviews, so you can be updated whenever I post a new review. Overall Rating - Seriously Flawed ★★☆☆☆ First Impressions Not only do I not remember where I got Cataegis : The White Wind (CW), I don't even remember how many times I've thought about playing it again so that I can review it, but just haven't had the interest or desire to do so. Checking the dates, I first played...

That was... better than i thought :o This game is a Pixel Rerto Action Platformer which gets the job done! It's nothing top-knoch to be honest but hey, if you get used to the controls the Game is pretty fun! Highly Recommended but not for fullprice. Wait for 3$ / 3€ or less. *RECOMMENDED*

You should definitely get Cataegis if you like retro-styled graphics, sound and gameplay. It's similar to classic games Castlevania, Strider, Ninja Gaiden and other unforgiving 2D sidescrollers. Because the game is so demanding on your mastery, it feels very rewarding to figure reliable boss patterns, clear stages and upgrade your weapons. I strongly advise not to give up front in the intro stage, because once you...

This was a hard one to decide on; on the one hand, it moves slowly and the controls are a little sluggish. On the other hand, the art design and sound is fantastic. Back to the first hand, it feels an awful lot like an NES game I would have spent a lot of time on when I was a kid. On the second hand again, it feels an awful lot like the NES games that seemed unfairly hard. In the end, though, it's a...
