Windscape is a first-person exploration adventure set in a cartoonish world made up of floating islands in the sky. Highly reminiscent of the The Legend of Zelda games with a dash of the Secret of Mana and Golden Axe Warrior (not to be confused with Golden Axe) thrown in for good measure. Windscape is aiming at combining the spirit and flow of these genre classics with elements of modern exploration, crafting and survival games, which, as we know, is all the rage these days.
There are a bunch of peaceful NPCs to meet on each island's overworld and of course, a ton of vicious monsters in the dungeons and lairs you uncover along your journey. While the islands work in a non-linear manner, the dungeons are more puzzle and combat driven, each with its own style and atmosphere. Brute force won't get you very far in larger boss fights, and you'll have to use varying tactics to switch up your attacks and methods, plus memorizing combat patterns of ghosts, ogres and dragons.
Windscape is leaving Early Access on 27th March and will also be released on Nintendo Switch™ and Xbox One.
