On Cordeus, a civilization dependent on dwindling sky-whale oil secretly hires you to search for an ancient energy source linked to the Aetherkin. You travel through a hostile steampunk world of floating islands.
Explore and reshape destructible environments, gather resources, and craft items. Missions and quests guide the journey while leaving room to choose how you approach the world.
Build and upgrade customizable airships to reach new islands, and use skill-based combat with 360-degree aiming to face threats. A grappling hook also helps you move through the environment.
Players who enjoy Windforge often point to its intriguing concept, airships, grappling hook, and the fun of exploring, gathering, and building. Some also like its art in certain areas. Other reviews describe the game as underdeveloped or shorter than they hoped.
