Description

The Ark shudders. Warning bells cry out across the sky. For generations, your floating home has orbited the mighty Vortex in peace—but that calm was a lie. Now, the storm awakens, its maelstrom tearing your world apart island by island.

You are a Leaper. A warrior with the impossible speed needed to dash between the fragments of your world and fight back. You must absorb the memories of fallen heroes, rebuild their weapons, and strike at the heart of the storm.

This is Windblown, a lightning-fast action roguelite from Motion Twin, the crafters of Dead Cells. Fail, and everything you know will be scattered to the winds. No pressure…

LEAP INTO CHAOS

Like a bolt of lightning, freely dash through vast, ever-changing islands in the sky where each run is teeming with secrets to uncover. Find your rhythm in relentless battles against the Vortex's Sentinels, and face oppressive bosses who just can't wait to chew you up and spit you out.

DISCOVER YOUR PERFECT BUILD

Leapers can absorb the memories of the fallen warriors who came before, unlocking special powers and allowing you to reforge their equipment. This unlocks countless combinations, letting you create unique and crazy synergies. Equip up to two weapons and use their bespoke playstyles to unleash super-powerful and hidden Alterattacks. Combine this with Gifts, handy Trinkets and droppable Magifishes to adapt to every situation by shifting your build on the fly.

DEATH IS A LESSON

Combat in the Vortex is intense and demanding; your success is forged by both skill and strategy. Each defeat sends you back to the Ark not with failure, but with progress: the knowledge of a boss's devastating attack, and the ability to unlock powerful new weapons, Gifts, and more. Death is not an end, but a chance to regroup, re-arm, and return with a vengeance.

FORGE YOUR OWN PATH, SOLO OR TOGETHER

Test your mastery of the storm alone, or rally with fellow Leapers in online co-op. Bring your friends to unleash chaos, combining your builds to execute spectacular combos that reward perfect teamwork.

YOUR VOICE SHAPES THE VORTEX

Our development is forged by community feedback. Just as the community was essential in shaping Dead Cells, you, our players, are the key to Windblown's future. We are actively listening and building this game with you. If you want your voice to be heard, join our official Discord and be part of the conversation.

Now, go and prove yourselves, Leapers. Dash into a lightning-fast adventure through the sky and get ready for a colorful death... Dismissed!

This needs a LOT more time to cook ⠀ After having a blast with Dead Cells , I came here thinking I was in for a treat, but I was left feeling a little disappointed. It's a beautiful game, but there are too many things

The inconsistent weapon animation cancelling makes the game really frustrating to play. Some weapons can cancel animations way more effectively than others which makes them more powerful in dodge based combat. On top of

The games combat feels good, but why would you update the map to be non-linear? Totally ruined the pace and creates a ton of doubling back. It really ruins the feel of the game. They added a teleport system to traverse

Coming up on 2 years of early access, I'm not sure what they did with their time. Melee combat is still unrewarding compared to range options. It's impossible to see enemy attacks with the visual clutter and exploration

22 hour and I beat the final boss 100% solo. Lots of fun, still don't have all items unlocked. I love hunting for the secret areas on the map. Looking forward to additional biomes. BONUS: Soundtrack is absolute fire!
