Windblown, the new co-op hack-and-slasher from Dead Cells' developers, is out in Early Access now
Windblown looks rad. It's an action-roguelite for 1-3 players in which you dash-and-slash in rapid combat on floating islands, and I am extremely interested in feeling its game-feel for myself. Good news! I can get my game-feelers on it now because it's out in Early Access today.
If you watch its launch trailer below out of context however, you might be fooled into thinking it's actually the emo second half of an Isekai anime series.
I like it.
My interest in Windblown is partly driven by its trailers, but also by Motion Twin's previous game, Dead Cells, which was also an action roguelite that nailed game-feel from the off and was fun to follow through its Early Access journey.
The dash impressed Edwin when he saw Windblown earlier this year, although he worried it was so powerful and quick it rendered the experience disposable:
Motion Twin reckon Windblown will remain in Early Access for at least a year, but it's already launched in a substantive state with 5 biomes and 12 main weapons. You can grab it from Steam with a 20% launch discount for £17.59/$20/€20.
