Loadout spots for – weapon, armour, and two accessory slots. Each piece of gear has plus and minus stats with possible buffs.
Checkpoint altars are everywhere, and these will trigger a save point and heal you.
The game is split into screens, so you can go from one side of the screen to the next.
In-game cutscenes and character interactions.
A handy play timer in the pause screen.
I like how the pad rumbles as you jump around, it gives it that something a bit extra.
Owly is your Owl friend who follows you around.
Earn and use new powers as you go through the world.
You can ask for help on the save screen.
Find Golden feathers to use on one of three stat upgrades: Body, Spirit, and Mind.
A stamina bar is in play for attacks, jumping, and charging.
For a lot of the game, the platforming is a case of combining jumps, double jumps, and dashes to navigate them.
You can pause the game.
There is a hot air for your potions, so you can use them quickly, but they do have cool downs.
The game world is huge and very open; you can freely explore, and at times it has a Metroidvania feel as you need to get new powers and then revisit an area.
The game feels modern but is also deeply rooted in the retro arena.
Controls are tight and easy to use.
You get many materials and resources, which you then use to create your own mixtures to create these potions.
Unlock and play as different characters who all play differently.

Wings of Endless Review Cons

No actual graphics settings.
You cannot remap the controls.
Any interactions don’t auto-scroll.
Very little voice work, and instead it’s just text.
To open chests and use interactive points, you have to press up, but it only works with the d-pad and not the stick.
Potion cooldowns are not great, and they count for all potions, not just the one you are using.
I found the game flow to not be that straightforward or obvious, it gives you so much choice that you can get lost so often.
There are a lot of annoying platform sections; the way it’s structured makes it more frustrating than fun.
Poison is so easy to get, and then that saps all your antidotes and health potions.
I am not a fan of hitting spikes that send you back to the last place you were beforehand.
It is very easy and totally possible to screw your game up by having it where you are stuck at low health in a dangerous spot.
