It was announced by Headup Games, that only few games on Steam can excel by 100% positive user ratings – their Early Access title Windscape is one of those. With Halloween just around the corner, the first-person fantasy adventure and exploration game is receiving a huge (and super spooky) content update.
Check out the halloween update trailer of Windscape, featuring some gameplay footage:
“In Windscape’s first Early Access phase, players explored Evergreen Island, discovering the town Sky Harbour, encountering ugly spiders and meeting up with many small surprises. If that wasn’t enough, they also explored a dark and mysterious dungeon and got their taste of combat in a huge boss battle.
Now, the journey gets even grander with today’s content update – the protagonist, Ida, will explore a dark forest a spooky graveyard and…a terrifying crypt. Ghosts, bandits and more evil enemies will certainly aim to give her a hard time in her travels.
Speaking of enemies – the Halloween update will bring three demonical new boss enemies. To help stand up to those cruel new foes, players will now be able to learn magical spells for the first time! Last but not least, the update includes new puzzles as well as tricky platforming sections.
About Windscape:
Ever since his childhood Dennis was a huge fan of Zelda games, Golden Axe Warrior, Secret of Mana and games that encourage you to explore a vivid world without time pressures and a too restrictive storyline. Over the past year and a half he was working on his vision of a modern exploration adventure, combining it with his fondness for modern crafting and sandbox games.
In Windscape you play as a young girl living on your parents’ farm, set in a lovely world made up of floating islands in the sky. As you discover the world you learn that something has gone terribly wrong – islands are breaking apart and falling from the sky! It’s up to you to discover the evil that is threatening the universe of Windscape.
As you travel the world(s) you will gather valuable resources allowing you to craft a plethora of items such as weapons, shields, potions, magical spells and much more. Some items will be just for fun while others are a necessity for your survival.
You will meet peaceful NPCs and vicious monsters on the surface of each island as well as in the dungeons and lairs you uncover along your journey. While Dennis wants the islands to work in a non-linear manner, he decided to make the dungeons more puzzle and combat driven – each with its own style and atmosphere. Windscape will feature tactical fights against larger bosses such as ghosts, ogres and dragons. Of course, there are many valuable items to loot, too.
As Dennis doesn’t want Windscape to be a stats-driven RPG, a terraforming sandbox game or a first-person action game, he is asking for your support. He is building this game for the community and hopefully with the community, so your feedback is really needed to match his vision with the high standards you, the players, demand. Because of this, we chose to enter Early Access with Windscape, hoping to make great friends and build a community which shares Dennis’ vision and aids him on his development quest…”
