A Valley Without Wind On Sale at 50% Off

Arcen Games have sent word along that A Valley Without Wind is on sale right now on Steam for 50% off - or $7.50.  You can even snag a co-op friendly four pack of the game for just $22.49.  Our review of the game called it "genre shattering," though we did find quite a few faults for the ambitious title.  The game supports quite a few players in its online co-op mode, though we cap it out at 16.

The latest 17 minute trailer for the game looks incredibly solid.

A Valley Without Wind is Minecraft Meets Metroidvania

As we approach September's PC beta for A Valley Without Wind, the game is looking better and better.  After switching to a side scrolling view, the game has really seemed to find its groove.  Immediately it's easy to see the game is now a Metroidvania style open world side scroller - that is - a side scroller similar in gameplay to Metroid or Castlevania.  Combine that with a Minecraft style raw materials and crafting system as well as online co-op and you have a dangerously addictive recipe for what may be this fall's surprise indie hit.

A Valley Without Wind Switches Sides

Up until this point, everything we've seen from Arcen Games' A Valley Without Wind has looked impressive, but something seemed off.  The game was originally an isometric view sort of like that of RPGs of old on the SNES and SEGA Genesis and while it worked for the 8-bit style graphics of those days, the more realistic style in AVWW made things look awkward.  Now after months of deliberation the team has switched the game, instead opting to make it a side scrolling affair in the realms of Super Metroid or the more recent Shadow Complex.

A Valley Without Wind Announces Co-Op - Part Minecraft, Part MMORPG

Chris Park of Arcen Games has always been a pleasure to chat with, so it didn't take long for me to email him when we found out that their upcoming game, A Valley Without Wind, would add a co-op mode to get the scoop on its features.   And boy did we get a lot of great info on the game, which right now, plans no real hard cap on the number of co-op players allowed in a game -  though Arcen sees about 16 being the current ideal max.
