According to itsSteam page, Windblown promises to “bring a whole new level of speed to the action roguelike genre”. You’ll be dashing between and around “vast, ever-changing islands in the sky”, pitting sword and magic attacks against a selection of funky ghostly mechas. As a “Leaper”, you can absorb the memories of dead warriors and master their fighting styles while collecting ever-stronger weapons.
The game is billed as pretty punishing, with an emphasis on memorising enemy attack patterns and “learning from your countless deaths” – not a big surprise, if you’ve played Dead Cells. There’s the option of online co-op if you’re struggling.
Thoughts on this one? I rated Dead Cells and I’m enjoying the blend of My Little Pony aesthetics and uber-violence here. Motion Twin are worth looking into, too: they’re one of the games industry’s few workers cooperatives.
