Windblown: a lightning-fast co-op roguelite from the Dead Cells team
Windblown is an action roguelite from Motion Twin, the French studio behind Dead Cells. This time, instead of gloomy dungeons, you get floating islands, jet-propelled dashes and three-player co-op. You control a Leaper, an anthropomorphic creature living in the Ark — the village of its kind — who keeps diving into the Vortex: a deadly zone of drifting islands patrolled by robotic Sentinels. The loop is simple and addictive: dash in, shred enemies, grab weapons, materials and gear, rescue survivors and return home a little stronger. Then do it again. And again.
Here you buy Windblown as a Steam gift — the game is sent by a bot straight into your Steam library and stays yours forever, with all future updates included.
What makes Windblown special
The headline is speed. Where Dead Cells was about precise timing and parries, Windblown is about constant motion. Your Leaper dashes like a guided missile, hooks onto enemies, ricochets and chains attacks mid-air. Combat feels less like trading blows and more like a high-speed dance where you smear across the screen between Sentinels.
The second pillar is build depth. During a run you pick up weapons, Gifts, Trinkets, Magifish and Hexes — and they all stack into synergies. One combination turns you into a whirlwind of blades, another into ranged artillery, another into a creature that heals on every kill. Every run feels fresh because the loot you find is always different.
Co-op for 1–3 players
Windblown can be played solo, but it truly opens up in online co-op. Up to three Leapers tear through the Vortex together, revive each other, stack builds and turn the screen into a genuine storm. Difficulty scales to the number of players, so bringing friends isn't cheating — it's its own way to play. If you enjoyed shared roguelites like Risk of Rain Returns, Windblown's co-op will feel right at home.
Editions and what's in the gift
You receive the base Windblown game — the exact same version sold on Steam. It's a full standalone game, not a DLC or add-on: it doesn't require any other "main" game to run. The soundtrack, the Dead Cells bundle and other Motion Twin bundles are separate Steam listings and are not part of this gift. This is the clean Windblown game itself.
Early Access: what it means for you
Windblown launched into Early Access on October 24, 2024, and at the time of purchase it's still being actively developed — Motion Twin is heading toward a full release while steadily adding biomes, weapons, enemies and mechanics. In practice that means there's already plenty of content (several biomes, dozens of weapons, loads of upgrades), and future Early Access updates land in your library automatically and for free. You're not buying a stub — you're buying a living game that keeps growing.
How the gift is delivered
The mechanic is as simple as it gets. You provide a Steam friend invite link and your account region. Our bot then adds itself as your friend, sends the gift, and automatically removes itself once delivery is done. You don't need to accept the friend request manually, you don't need Steam Guard, and you don't need to activate anything in advance — just accept the incoming gift in Steam. The whole process usually takes a couple of minutes from checkout.
Two conditions matter for Steam to accept the gift: your account region must match the gift region, and Windblown must not already be in your library (Steam won't let you accept a gift for a game you already own). With those two in order, everything goes smoothly.
Who Windblown is for
If you love fast roguelites where every run hands you a new toolbox of weapons and combos, Windblown is built for you. Fans of Dead Cells will feel especially at home: the same signature responsive feel and sense of weight, only faster and in co-op. And if you treasure roguelites for replayability and crafting absurd builds the way Hades does, the Windblown Vortex will keep pulling you back.
