Dead Cells is officially finished after seven years of support, and based on what I've seen of it so far, developer Motion Twin's next game may quickly take its place in the hearts of many fans and join the ranks of the best roguelikes. Windblown is an isometric action roguelike with support for up to three-player co-op, it's hitting PC early access later this year, and it looks like a compelling mix of modern genre staples and Dead Cells DNA.
Motion Twin released a new trailer for Windblown earlier today, and GamesRadar+ sat in on an extended hands-off showcase beforehand. The trailer hits the same high notes as the reveal, but in a little more depth: a colorful world, cute playable characters with a bestial, fishy theme, melee and bullet hell combat, and a die-respawn-die gameplay loop. Defend the Vortex from the nefarious Sentinels, and build the best character you possibly can. Windblown is more sprawling than Dead Cells but shares its single-minded focus on action. It's also a heck of a lot faster, which is saying something.
