Dead Cells developer Motion Twin’s newest title, Windblown, is available now on PC via Steam Early Access. As a rogue-lite, the story focuses on the Leapers as they attempt to escape the brutal Vortex. Check out the animated trailer below for a hint of what struggles await.
Unlike Dead Cells, Windblown is an isometric hack-and-slash title with a dashing mechanic akin to Hades. Contrasting the colorful environments and cutesy characters is the fast-paced combat. By switching weapons at the right moment, players can unleash powerful attacks unique to each of the 12 available weapons. There’s also support for up to three players in co-op for even more chaos.
Windblown launches with five biomes, though Motion Twin has plans to expand on this and add new weapons, levels, etc. Early access will last for at least a year, and while 1.0 will see a price increase, it may also go up depending on the released content. Stay tuned for more details in the meantime.
