Windblown Takes Flight in Early Access!
After Windblown captured our attention and quickly became one of our favorite games from Steam's Next Fest—so much so that it derailed the rest of our coverage—the much-anticipated title has officially launched into Early Access! For those seeking a tight, addictive co-op experience, Windblown delivers with its unique mechanics and immersive gameplay.
In Windblown, players step into the role of brave "Leapers," warriors from The Ark—a peaceful, floating village encircling the treacherous Vortex. But this once-tranquil existence is at risk, as the Vortex sends out relentless waves of enemies to consume everything in its path. Developed by Motion Twin, the creators behind Dead Cells, Windblown brings that same lightning-fast, action-packed energy, challenging players to dash across vast, ever-changing islands in the sky. Each run is brimming with secrets to uncover, including fearsome bosses, devious Sentinels, and hidden pathways.
As you battle your way through, you'll unlock the memories and weapons of fallen Leapers, allowing you to craft unique synergies and deadly attacks to take down even the most daunting foes. With each run, you’ll discover new Trinkets, Magfishes, and special Gifts to create flexible, on-the-fly builds that adapt to the challenges of the Vortex. And remember, every defeat is a stepping stone toward mastery. The game’s tough but fair combat pushes your skills to the limit, rewarding careful timing, tactical dashes, and the bravery to face the unknown. For those who need a little help, Windblown offers online co-op, so you can team up with other Leapers to even the odds.
Windblown is currently available on Steam!
