Windblown

Pretty fun, not too much content atm. ofc you can keep grinding endless, but I feel pretty accomplished after 12 hours. 1/26/2026

My partner picked this up for me in a recent sale, and we've been having a huge blast with it. If I had to make comparisons, Windblown is somewhere between Hades and a Souls-like - the combat is quick, responsive and flashy, and it has that same "one more run!" energy that leaves you wondering how you played until 3 in the morning yet again. The gift and weapon systems allow for some really impressive run-to-run customisation that rewards on the fly buildcrafting and strategic forward planning, but honestly the real knock-out winner for me here is the presentation. The music is a glorious suite of techno-chip-tune electronica, with beautiful ethereal vocals, the characters are expressive, chibified balls of energy, and the environments are just stunning to blaze through. For an early-access game, there's already a lot of meat on the bone, and the current roadmap suggests this should be polished up for a 1.0 release this year. All of this to say, if Hades 2 has left you in the mood for a co-op rougelike in the same vein, look no further <3

I really like the game 10/10

The worst thing I can say is that the biomes need more variety and the difficulty scaling isn't always great (e.g. Lost Archipelago is WAY harder than the alternative). Everything else is pretty great. The combat is mostly simple, but satisfying with a large variety of unlockable weapons and powerups, there's enough different enemies to keep things from getting stale, and movement feels great. The story so far is minimal, but what is there is pretty intriguing. Also the biomes and music are both gorgeous and help motivate you to do just one more run despite the small amount of biome variety. I do wish the biomes were more interconnected, but they feel good to explore for the unlockable secrets despite being overall quite linear. It's well worth buying now for how good it feels to play and how well it runs on the Steam Deck.

I've been playing this with my other half and this is a great time! The music is great, the gameplay engaging, and the vibes are peak. Can't wait for more!

It is very fun to play a rougelike game with my friends! There were some mild latency issues but that could very-well-have-been client side. Specifically I love the character design. The anthro creature are cutsie but are still shown being mortally wounded which is fantastically realistic while still being approachable (dare I say attractive?) The dithering shader they use between the camera and the PC is unique since it appears to be a cutout rather than a dissolve allowing the inside of objects to be textured. The weapons are interested, namely the Beatbolt, and the elements are apparent without having common rock-paper-scissor dynamics. Build potential feels very powerful but difficult to achieve without knowing the mechanics well. Great job devs! I had fun. I'm eager to see how the story unfolds in V1.0 ^w^

nice game
