Windmills

When I first played the dome, it felt addictive. It was so fun, in terms of storytelling, gameplay, and graphic design. And seeing that the full game was finally released and that it costs 10 dollars or so, I felt like I am not buying it but rather pirating it!

Played Unbeliever a bit first, thought yes, enjoyable. Then along comes this on promotion and already has more charm and flair than many more expensive games. If you're a vet, this has it EDIT: I don't think I've ever paid so little for an indie game and got so much out of it... 30 hours and I'm still not at the end. I see other positive reviews have loads of time in it too, though I suspect the one in triple figures may have clocked some of that with it running in background ;) It's actually really well written and I say that as someone who gives a hard time to some very popular games with pages and pages of excruciating dialogue. This is very funny and very intriguing. I've bought a copy for a friend who enjoyed Blasphemous, so that's where we're at. Really glad and incredibly surprised by this one... should have been a retro hit. If it came out back in the day, it would have been legendary

this is a sekiro-soullike with metroidvania elements. you play as a warrior exploring a medieval aged fantasy world facing off against ogres, kobolds, knights, mages and different monsters. the game is heavily focused on 1v1 and boss combat. you rarely face more than 2 enemies at a time and most of the time your fighting a single enemy parrying dodging and attacking. your character dies in 3 hits most of the time, but everytime you parry you heal one third of your health. parries are easy to pull of with the games super tight and responsive control. difficulty is roughly the same as the soul games, you could argue that its a little bit harder since bosses got so many attacks with different timings to learn remember and execute correctly. there is also very little character progressions so your not going to be able to grind your way out if you get stuck. i would say the game is 7-12 hours long depending on how good you are and how much you explore. i did not see any bugs in my playthrough, but the game got a absolutely horrible screenshake everytime you block-parry a enemy, and your going to be parrying alot in this game. i could only play for 1-2 hours at a time due to the horrible screenshake. other than the screenshake and lack of character progressions i dont have anything but good things to say about this game. recomended for soullike fans and gamers of above average skill.

Windmills is an amazing metroidvania with a very original and unique style of storytelling that keeps you laughing but also reeling you into the mystery and the world. Combat is really good and feels rewarding once you nail down an enemy's pattern and timing. If you suck at directions like me it can be tricky at times since there's no mini-map, but if you get stuck just join the official discord and the creator of the game is there to help you out! :D

This is the first metroidvainia that didn't have a minimap. That made doing some the sidequests annoying to complete. But with this one issue did not prevent me from enjoying the game. Because the game is awesome. It was fun to fight and defeat the numerous enemies and bosses. The only frustrating boss I fought was the summoner so practice dodging to make that fight easier as the attacks he throws at you makes things hectic. The environments are gorgeous and a pleasure to look at. I haven't beat the game yet as I'm stuck on how to finish some sidequests but eventually I will accomplish this. Great game and a hidden gem in a market inundated with metroidvainias. Highly-recommend.

This game is beautiful, and not just the scenery, but the story is heart-wrenching and amazing, there's so much to learn and explore. And the music is unparalleled, I love Windmills, and can't wait for more to be developed and for more content. Definitely one of the greatest games I've ever played, oh yeah, also, it's really hard if you don't know what you're doing. It has a great amount of replayability, but it is short, at some point, you know everything there is to know.

Not bad. A little simplistic, but it's pretty fun. Give it a try if you like 2D combat focused games.
