We got a close look at Windblown, the colorful new roguelike from the developers behind Dead Cells, and there's a lot to be excited about.
Developer Motion Twin’s hit roguelike became an instant genre staple when it launched into early access in 2017 and it’s only gotten better since then. After seven years of long-tailed support and high-profile collaborations, Dead Cells has become a foundational indie game that’s hard to top. It would be safe for Motion Twin to follow that up with a sequel, just as Supergiant Games is doing with Hades 2. Instead, we’re getting Windblown — and you should be thrilled about that.
Related Switching it up In my hands-off demo, developers from Motion Twin would walk me through a few runs. What immediately stands out is Windblown’s art. It’s a remarkably vibrant game that looks even better in motion. During the demo, I’d watch the developers hop around bright sky islands as an adorable axolotl. It’s all quite whimsical, though Motion Twin teases that the underlying story – told in a manner similar to Dark Souls — gets surprisingly dark.
Monster Hunter also comes up during our conversation, though more to describe how the studio built the game to work equally well solo or in three-player co-op. Multiplayer is so seamless that players can drop out from a crew at any time and the difficulty will automatically scale down to match . Other decisions to account for multiple players are especially creative. To heal, for instance, players smash a flask on the ground to create a healing circle rather than chugging a potion down.
