Motion Twin surprised players by releasing a brief gameplay trailer for their upcoming Early Access co-op action roguelike game, Windblown.
The gameplay looked fast paced, filled with enemies to dodge, platforms to dash through.
Those who missed the original announcement can find the official overview below.
Windblown Overview
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.
DEATH IS A LESSON
The Vortex will push your skills to their limit. Windblown’s combat is tough but always fair. Advance carefully though; a mis-timed dash could send you right into the deadly swing of a Sentinel’s blade. Learn from your countless deaths, memorize enemy movements and come back stronger. If you can’t handle it on your own, you can always seek help from fellow Leapers in online co-op to even the odds.

Your feedback is invaluable to us at Motion Twin. Just as you helped us shape Dead Cells during its Early Access period, we would like to gather your thoughts to help make Windblown as great as it can possibly be. Wishlist Windblown now and be the first to know when Early Access is available.
