Windmills PC Game 2023 review:
It is a 2D sidescrolling Metroidvania with a combat system that is similar to Souls. The adversaries deal heavy damage, so you must either dash to evade them or parry, which restores life.
In Windmills, you play as the last Crimson Cape, a witch-hunter, on his quest to find his missing father. In this combat-focused metroidvania you will face dangerous monsters and devious wizards that will put your skills to the test. You will unlock new abilities that will help you traverse the world and you will absorb the powers of your enemies, allowing you to use them instead.
The story unfolds in a unique way, based on the way you progress through the game. Depending on your actions, areas, and enemies can change because the narrator will remember things differently, making each narrative unique. Because what is more important, if the windmills were giants or if the story was worth telling?
Pros of Windmills:
- The combat system is based on suppressing, deflecting, dodging, and parrying. As you progress through the story, more mechanics are unlocked, giving you more options for combat and exploration.
- A big part of the mechanics is the reversals. Deflecting at the right time or parrying projectile spells gives the player extraordinary abilities for a small amount of time. For example, you can parry a lightning spell and charge your next attack with the element of lightning.
- Master your skills and slay the monsters that ravage the kingdom. Challenge powerful and ruthless bosses that will put your abilities to the test.
- Explore a magical world, meet NPCs with unique questlines, discover new abilities that will change your experience, and help the last Crimson Cape remember the events that happened many years ago. Restore the magical portals that connect the different areas of the kingdom and see the story to its conclusion, through the eyes of an unreliable narrator.
