Windblownlooks rad. It’s an action-roguelite for 1-3 players in which you dash-and-slash in rapid combat on floating islands, and I am extremely interested in feeling its game-feel for myself. Good news! I can get my game-feelers on it now because it’s out in Early Access today.

If you watch its launch trailer below out of context however, you might be fooled into thinking it’s actually the emo second half of an Isekai anime series.

I like it.

The dash impressed Edwin when he saw Windblownearlier this year, although he worried it was so powerful and quick it rendered the experience disposable:

Motion Twin reckon Windblown will remain in Early Access for at least a year, but it’s already launched in a substantive state with 5 biomes and 12 main weapons. You cangrab it from Steamwith a 20% launch discount for £17.59/$20/€20.
