Windblown
Dash, dive and defy the Vortex. A lightning-fast, 1-3 player co-op roguelite from the crafters of Dead Cells, where every run is a leap into chaos. Absorb the powers of fallen warriors, rebuild their weapons, and WIPE THE FLOOR with anything that gets in the way of a perfect run.
In short, Steam reviewers most often praise “satisfying combat with satisfying build variety” (75 of 103 reviews) and “colorful, charming visual design” (25); the most common complaint is “repetitive runs, shallow combat depth” (13). What reviewers agree on ↓

“Picked this game up a year ago came back to it now and it has a story!? Anyway the a year ago the game was awesome and is even better now.”
“So far an incredibly fun game to play. Mechanics feel good and I love the different weapon options available. Can't wait to see how this game develops!”

“Man, this game kicks ass. Dead Cells devs went full speed demon with an isometric roguelite that never lets you catch your breath. You’re a Leaper tearing through floating sky islands, slashing, dashing, and turning…”
“To preface this, I have played this game almost exclusively in co-op. This is a must buy for anyone looking for top-down action game to play with friend/s and is probably one of the best already imo. Has been an…”
“Windblown is simply a fun game to enjoy for a couple hours, it's relaxing and doesn't need high skill to enjoy it, it's more enjoyable to play with a friend honestly, the game is perfect for co-op. Coming from the same…”

“the game plays VERY WELL VERY good music VERY nice secrets, easter eggs, and pun intendeds 23/03/2026 edit: i can see many comments about it being a "cash grab" in this case let me say to the dev team shut up and take my money”
— a player, Steam review · 81 hrs played“I HIGHLY recommend you play this. If you like Skylanders-type visuals with Hades-style gameplay made by the Dead Cells folks, you're gonna have a field day with this thing. I've seen the game evolve for a while, and it's shaping up to be a banger (no pun intended).”

I have beaten Dead Cells and their Prince of Persia game - Motion Twin is the VERY BEST in this action roguelite/like space; one of my favorite developers. That said, this one is trying to be hades with a…”
