Motion Twin, the studio behind Dead Cells, just released a massive Windblown major update for its Early Access run. If you’ve been slicing through the sky islands or teaming up with friends in this ultra-fast action-packed roguelite adventure, this update’s for you. Let’s break it down in simple terms for Steam Deck and Linux via Proton.
New Revenge Mode – A Game-Changer for Co-op Fans
Based on feedback from Early Access players, the Sudden Death multiplayer mode has been swapped for something way cooler: Revenge Mode. Now, when your teammates
die, you’re not left hanging. Instead, you’ll gain a serious boost in speed and power to take on enemies with a vengeance. But there’s a catch – the Windblown enemies get tougher in this major update.
Two Killer Weapons
Say hello to the Umbrella and Fiery Claws! These bad boys come with slick animations, devastating critical hits, and epic Alterattacks. You’ll need to tackle mid- and late-game challenges to unlock them, but trust me, they’re worth the grind. Whether you’re pummeling foes or slicing through the chaos, these weapons bring fresh strategies to the table.
Trinkets That Pack a Punch
Also in this update, Windblown gets major changes with four brand-new trinkets designed to make your Bleed and Mark builds even deadlier. One of them even lets you summon a robot allie to blast enemies from a distance. Who doesn’t like some robo-backup?
Fresh Skins for Top Players
For the hardcore Voltigeurs (that’s you, if you’re dominating Windblown), there are four new skins to show off. From the Toad to the Horned Lizard, these cosmetics scream style while you’re tearing through the toughest events.
Windblown | The Revenge in a Major Update
The Major Update includes Expanded Language Options for Windblown
Big news for Russian and German speakers – Windblown now supports your languages! That brings the total to nine, and Motion Twin promises even more as Early Access continues.
Gameplay Changes and Quality of Life Additions
The update also brings major changes, such as new accessibility options, better keyboard/mouse controls, and a Pause feature for Windblown single-player mode. Plus, the team has fine-tuned enemy behaviors and polished the biomes for a smoother experience.
