Windblown's hypersonic dash makes it rogueliking particularly likeable
Overwatch's Tracer would approve
Admittedly, I haven't played as much Windblown as I'd like. It's a new roguelike by the folks at Motion Twin, where you play as a chubby animal with a sword and you bash machines on slices of earth suspended in the sky. I'm basically waiting for a friend of mine to get a copy and then we can hop into online co-op together, which is the way it's meant to be played.
This slight meander is to say that my limited time with Windblown has produced a powerful thought: the dash is sublime. Or rather, the dash is sublime because it's basically a blink, not a dash. Or rather, the dash is sublime because you can just spam it like nothing else.
