You play as a Leaper fighting to protect a world threatened by the Vortex. Runs take you across island regions filled with enemies, challenges, and bosses.
Combat centers on quick movement, dashes, and attacks with two equipped weapons. Switching weapons during a sequence of strikes can trigger a weapon-specific Alterattack. Weapons, trinkets, and passive upgrades let you shape each run.
Play solo or in co-op with up to two other players. Between runs, return to the Ark to spend recovered resources on unlocks such as weapons and upgrades, opening up more options for future attempts.
Players who enjoy Windblown often praise its quick, responsive movement and the rhythm of its combat, especially the weapon-switching attacks and the variety of possible builds. The soundtrack and visuals also come up frequently, and some players find co-op runs especially enjoyable. Other reviews describe repetition, balance, or changes to combat as drawbacks, so these positive impressions are not shared by everyone.
Wake up, Leaper! This is Windblown: the lightning-fast, 1-3 player co-op action roguelite from Motion Twin, the creators of Dead Cells.
Dash across the ruins of a broken world with impossible speed in a last stand against the apocalypse. Solo or with friends, reawaken the powers of those who fell before you, unleash devastating weapons, perfect your loadout, and reclaim what was taken.
Your godlike speed is key to surviving the all-consuming Vortex threatening your world; stay aggressive and overwhelm the battlefield - before it overwhelms you.
Chain dashes, strikes, abilities and devastating power moves together in hyper-fast combat built around flow. Tear through ever-changing islands filled with challenges, enemies, and bosses designed to push your limits.
It’s dangerous to go alone, and you’ll need every weapon, trinket and passive upgrade you can get. Dual wield to combine unique weapon movesets, unleash powerful Alterattacks, and customize your build with over 170+ unlockables.
The playstyle is yours to create: Mix fast melee weapons with heavy hitters (including the fan-favourite Crocojaw, known for its brutal bite!), ranged tools, status effects, mobility skills and more to become the unstoppable force on the battlefield.
Whether you prefer playing solo or in co-op chaos, you’ll find a complete experience in Windblown. Our game caters to all playstyles, with no gating!
Coordinate builds, hunt for upgrade mats and defeat formidable foes together or single - then go chill at the hub whenever you need a break from the mayhem!
Death is part of the process - just dust yourself off and try again! Every failed run lets you bring back valuable resources to unlock new weapons, powers and upgrades at the Ark, expanding future builds and playstyles. Learn enemy patterns, try a new loadout, and come back stronger every time.
No drawback to experimenting, so go forward, Leaper!
