Lots of secrets will lurk in the depths of the islands.
The official story viaSteamreads:
Wake up, warriors!
This is Windblown, a lightning-fast action roguelite crafted by Motion Twin, the creators of Dead Cells.
Characters will fasten rocket-like devices to their backs that let them dash through arenas at lightning-fast speeds.
Itll allow vast landscapes in the form of floating islands that constantly change shape and appearance.
From the Vortex to the Ark, players will have a teeming amount of secrets to uncover.
Moreover, youll be busy engaging in relentless battles against the Vortexs Sentinels.
Hell has no fury like these minions, who dont hesitate to slice you in half.
They show no mercy, with death seeming inevitable.
But Motion Twin also adds that the game will be tough, but always fair.
Perhaps, with the help of the fallen Leapers, you might absorb their memories.
These will empower you with new fighting styles and give you the ability to swap between multiple weapons.
Miss a beat, and your character will head spinning toward a Sentinels blade.
With each death, though, youll learn enemy movements and come back swinging in stride.
Or, it’s possible for you to always recruit buddies to help you in an online co-op.
Motion Twin is no stranger to gaming, having gifted us showstopping roguelike-Metroidvania,Dead Cells.
Theyre switching up their M.O.
this time around and have quite interesting development views to justify the why.
According to the team, they wanted their next project to be a lightning-fast combat roguelite.
Think of it as Dead Cells hyperactive sibling, spinning in a 3D sugar rush.
