El Viento is a game that had always seemed kinda interesting to me, but heard mixed impressions of overall, which scared me off from trying it for the longest time. Recently, I decided I should at last give it a shot, just to see for myself how it is... and wow, I really adore this game.

A lot of Wolf Team's games are kinda rough in terms of game design, but I genuinely think El Viento rules. It's legit a great action-platformer, that I had a ton of fun with. Over-the-top action, nice balance between a regular ranged attack and an auto-recharging magic spell attack (which lets you select different spells, depending on how long you charge the button for), sometimes quite quirky level/enemy designs, an excellent soundtrack, and a really neat protagonist in Annet, make for a solid action-platformer. Easily one of my favorite Genesis games yet.
