The value story
The lowest price on record is $17.49, set in June 2026. Its cuts run 20 percent off as a rule. There have been 19 in the 2 years tracked, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 9 days ago.
Against its own genre it lands in the top 30 percent on value. It is pricier than 89 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 74 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Hades II ($20.99, scores 91) beats it on value, while it beats Meta Ghost: Breaking Show ($17.99, scores 30).
Players rate it 89 percent positive over its lifetime, but the last 30 days run 74 percent. Something recent has soured the room. Of the 800 Steam-purchase reviews this site sampled, 21 come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written December 2024 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 77 percent of the 1,044 reviews written there were positive, against 89 percent overall, and those are 12 percent of everything written about it.
At 9.5 hours it is a handheld-sized game, and Valve rates it Deck Verified.

What players say
Mechanically it's a substantial diversion from Dead Cells, but the most satisfying parts of the rougelite's DNA is in here. The level and enemy design is incredibly well done, which is a feat in the transition from 2D side-scroller to 3D isometric. Looking forward to 1.0 release.
Windblown keeps getting better, and the way Motion Twin has been expanding this game deserves a lot more praise. One of my favorite changes over these updates has been the evolution of exploration. The branching paths and larger, more complex islands have completely changed how a run feels. You're island hoppers, and now the game actually feels like you're island hopping. You're not just following one predetermined...
Amazing but it's clearly balanced for 2+ players which makes singleplayer a bit frustrating. Being that it's an indie game, good luck finding public matches.
