A 2D sidescroller without a linear path. An action game with tactical combat and citybuilding. An adventure game that lets you free-roam a vast, procedurally-generated world. A Valley Without Wind defies genre stereotypes. Unlike other procedurally-generated games, you also get a logical progression in difficulty, plus helpful tips and checklists to guide your travels (should you need them).
Choose for yourself how to prepare to face the vastly stronger Overlord. Complete a variety of missions to earn new spells, and/or roam the wilds to uncover secret missions and stashes of magical crafting loot. Customize your characters with unique combinations of enchants and spells that change how you move, jump, and fight. Or rescue people and bring them back to your settlement so that they can then be sent on dispatch missions; you don't have to carry the burden of your fledgling civilization alone! You choose how to play, and the world adapts around you.
Key features
Platforming and Turn-Based Strategy Coupled Together
- Flip back and forth between your own adventure, and the progress of the resistance you're in charge of. Freely adjust difficulty levels for both to tailor the experience to your own personal playstyle. Both sides of the game can be quite easy or incredibly hard.
More Tactile Combat
- The physics of movement and attacks have been completely redone from the first title, with more traditional gamepad and keyboard support. Spells have mass and can block each other, leading to many interesting tactical situations in the platforming segments.
Vastly Improved Visuals
- Fully redone artwork by Heavy Cat Studios, including 125 all-new monsters, 200 spells, and lots more.
Focused Gameplay Arc
- Unlike the endless sandbox-style first game, this complete re-imagining has a distinct beginning, middle, and end.
Procedurally Generated Worlds
- Each world is a unique challenge, leading to excellent replay value once you do beat the game!
Co-Op Multiplayer
- Bring along as many friends as you like on your journey, depending on your connection speed. 2-8 players recommended on most Internet connections; many more on LAN.
See Just How Deep An Arcen-style Rabbit-Hole Goes
- After dozens of hours you still haven't seen it all: 50 mage classes in 5 tiers, 200 spells, 125 enemies, 14 biomes, 100+ types of world map tiles, 64 character customization perks, 100ks of procedural equipment possibilities.
Extra Challenges For Expert Players
- String together flawless kills to earn "concentration" and become even stronger. Beat the game on harder difficulties to earn rare achievements.
