Windblown

Wake up warriors! This is Windblown, a lightning-fast action roguelite crafted by Motion Twin, the creators of Dead Cells. You innocent souls have lived peacefully in The Ark, a floating village orbiting around the gigantic and deadly Vortex. However, don't let that calm existence fool you; your cozy little island is about to get devoured... Countless warriors, the Leapers, have met their end fighting dreadful emissaries of the Vortex; now it's your turn to save your kind, or turn into cannon fodder trying... WHAT AWAITS YOU IN WINDBLOWN: LIGHTNING-FAST ACTION, LIKE NEVER BEFORE: Like a bolt of lightning, freely dash through vast, ever-changing islands in the sky where each run is teeming with secrets to uncover. Find your rhythm in relentless battles against the Vortex's Sentinels, hell-bent on taking you down. Brace yourself and face oppressive bosses who just can't wait to chew you up and spit you out. UNLOCK THE DEADLIEST WEAPONS: Leapers can absorb the memories of the fallen warriors who came before, unlocking special powers and allowing you to recraft their powerful gear. As you unlock these, you will gain access to more and more combinations that create unique and crazy synergies. Equip up to two weapons and use their bespoke playstyles to unleash super-powerful and hidden Alterattacks. Throw in passive Gifts, handy Trinkets and droppable Fish (?!) to adapt to every situation by shifting your build on the fly.
