Dead Cells dev’s new roguelike was “too punishing,” but it doesn’t regret its “extreme” approach

Motion Twin, the developer of Dead Cells, has released a new project called Windblown, which is currently in early access. The game has received positive feedback, but the initial launch faced criticism for its revenge system in co-op mode, which was deemed too punishing. In response to player feedback, the developers prioritized the Revenge Update to address community concerns. They also added an Endless Mode based on player requests, which was incorporated into the game in March 2025. Windblown continues to evolve with significant input from its player community.

FBC: Firebreak patch aims to improve the game’s early hours, which ‘do not provide a good experience,’ Remedy admits

Remedy has acknowledged that FBC: Firebreak did not meet expectations but believes many issues are fixable. A recent patch introduces balance changes to improve gameplay, including making Lost Assets easier to locate and allowing new players to start at Clearance Level 3 for the introductory job, Hot Fix. The patch also includes significant overhauls to core systems, enhancing progression and rewards, with recalibrated unlockable costs and streamlined gear progression. New players can now begin at Clearance Level 3 for the first Job, and must complete a full three-zone run at CL3 to unlock subsequent Jobs. The Operational Requisition has been divided into two categories: Essentials and Expressions, allowing players to access essential gear without unlocking unrelated items. Balancing changes include reduced construction times for certain items, increased health for enemies, and improved accessibility for the Stapler Corrupted Item. Audio issues have been addressed, including missing sound effects and music transition problems. User interface corrections include XP level indicators and crash issues in the Loadout menu. Gameplay improvements involve enhanced haptic feedback and visibility for Lost Assets. Visual enhancements include performance improvements and updates to environmental elements.
