The Dead Cells studio is making a new, co-op roguelike and I'm already in love
Windblown look🌳s like exactly what I wanted to see
Dead Cells is still one of the 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:best roguelikes you can play today, and now developer Motion Twin has only gone and made a⭕nother pro𒈔mising action roguelike, this time with co-op.
Motion Twin unveiled Windblown during tonight's Game Awards live show with a lovely animated trailer. Our first-look was light on gameplay, but the few snippets of in-game action look great, and quite frankly, doubting Motion Twin on action roguelikes is like doubting 澳洲幸运5开奖号码历史查询:FromSoftware on fantasy RPGs.
"Like a bolt of lightning, players will freely dash thr👍ough stunning open stages where each run is teeming with secrets to uncover," a press release reads. "Players will be challenged to overcome the odds in relentless battles against the Vortex's Sentinels, hell-bent on taking them down and starting their run anew."
Windblown will be fully playable solo, but also allow for up to three-pla🌺yer online co-op play. I'm trying to imagine playing isometric Dead Cells with two buds, and I'm trying and faili💫ng to stay calm.
"Players will swap between multiple weapons and adapt to every situation by shifting their build on the fly as they progress through vibrant, layered environments," the post adds. "As plܫayers unlock more memories, they will be able to collect stronger and more complex weapons that will turn them into the ultimate killing machine."
Windblown is targeting a 2024 early access launch on PC, and while other platforms haven't been announced, consoles seem probable given Dead Cells' reach. The predicts a🍨n Early Access stay of "a minimum of one year," with the launch build delivering five biomes, four main weapons, and full co-op support.
"The experience we gathered on Dead Cells allows us to project a bit more easily how different our 1.0 version should be from the Ea🔴rly Access version," Motion Twin says. "This will also allow us to drastically improve the balancing of the game𒈔 and stability of the multiplayer features to make sure you have the best experience possible."
