It looks like a more graphically polished Dead Cells which makes sense as its the same developer. I really enjoyed Dead Cells.
That’s interesting because Motion Twin is releasing Windblown which is in EA now. I’ve been playing it a bit here and there. Very different than Dead Cells with the 3rd person 3D perspective, gameplay has some overlap but not a huge amount. Still Roguelite. The biggest turn off is the characters and dialogue. Script is terrible.



Maybe they had their Dead Cells A-team working on Castlevania and the B-team on Windblown.

Yea dead cells is my most played roguelite. Did 5bc, got some hitless run costumes etc. Windblown is an amazing design with horrible characters and story. The animal thing really needs to die out. Furrys truly ruin everything. Windblown is a great coop experience though (up to 3p).

How involved is motion twin involved in this? On the trailer it made it seem like they were there only as an advisory role.

Either way the animations and gameplay look super smooth. Could end up great or just meh.

Anyone else look at the last couple of pages of game reveals and just yawn? They all seem so contrived, redundant, and copy/paste. Or, just flat out boring looking.

Are we due for another tangential discussion about there being no innovation or new and interesting ideas/mechanics/stories anymore?

Glad I’m not the only one with the opinion on Windblown’s artistic choices. It is really abysmal on top of very spammy but fun gameplay.

The gameplay was uncomically boring. Part of me wonders if I'm just getting too old for games with how many ass new games are coming out that are total shit.... Then I load up one of my old games from the 90s and just have fun and know for sure its just the kids that are all wrong.

It's actually more simple then that. Western culture sucks, especially US culture. DEI and HR are definitely part of the problem but really they're just the symptom of the overall paradigm.

See I don’t even know who made dead cells - so they are making the new CV… yeah I also don’t even get what a rouge like is- I am an old man.

So my general observations from the trailer were correct heh.

So many people on the YouTube comments were like “that soundtrack smacks!” - I am like…what? Fool go play 5min of NES CV2 and truely jam out
