Evaluation

Cult of the Wind launched on Steam Early Access on May 15, 2014 and reached its 1.0 full release on July 1, 2014. The 1.0 launch post described the game as "full-featured and fully playable," shipping the level editor, Workshop support, and official maps that had been promised during Early Access. All of the features outlined in the May 2014 upcoming features list were addressed by or around the 1.0 release. The last developer communication of any kind was the 1.0 release announcement on July 19, 2014 — there have been no posts, patches, or announcements from the developer in the nearly 12 years since. There is no DLC listed, no roadmap, no season pass, and no announced future content. The game shipped as a complete package and has received no post-launch updates.

About this game

Cult of the Wind is a game about people who pretend to be airplanes.

"In an unknown time and place, a cult that worships the wreckage of ancient airplanes gathers to mimic the dogfights of old. With the peak of humanity far behind, their world is a mausoleum to a lush and verdant Art Deco past."

In Cult of the Wind, players compete and cooperate in ritualistic multi-player human dogfights, complete with imaginary weapons, pretend explosions, and airplane noises made with their mouths. Shower your friends in a hail of imaginary bullets and proclaim, "I got you! You have to lie down," to which they respond, "Nuh-uh, I have a shield." You argue about whether or not airplanes can have shields, meanwhile some other guy does a cannonball onto your head while whistling. It's great.

With an intuitive point-and-click level editor you'll be able to craft new levels or modify existing ones, then immediately share them with anyone on a server, even if you aren't the host. You can also craft a personalized appearance for your character with numerous articles of clothing and more.

  • Simple, robust level editor
  • Instantly share your creations with others
  • Character customization
  • Dozens of imaginary weapons and abilities
  • Infinitely expandable content
  • Blindingly high-speed mock combat
  • Weird noises
