Wind Runners Joins Steam Next Fest

15 Jun

Steam Next Fest has officially begun, and we are incredibly excited to finally put Wind Runners into the hands of players around the world.

This event marks an important milestone for our team: after years of development, the Resistance is ready to welcome its first pilots.

Jump into the Zerah Igna System, take control of an Ishma Wind Runner, and fight against the oppressive Realm and its god-like Saints. Master high-speed aerial combat, discover powerful technology synergies, and face the colossal Cardinal Beasts standing between the Resistance and the liberation of the system.

Every flight is a defiant strike. Every victory brings the Resistance one step closer to freedom.

A Journey Born Between Friends and Stars

Wind Runners was born from a friendship that began almost 20 years ago. Growing up as neighbors in Manaus, in the heart of the Amazon rainforest, we spent our days playing games, watching movies and anime, and creating stories together through Dungeons & Dragons.

Those same passions later inspired us to create the space opera we had always dreamed of: a fast, stylish, and intense spaceship game influenced by worlds like Cowboy Bebop, Macross, Gundam, Trigun, Gurren Lagann, and Star Wars.

The bullet-hell genre became the perfect way to bring that vision to life in chaotic battles where ships dodge overwhelming fire, perform complex maneuvers, and fight against impossible odds.

Today, despite working remotely, we still meet every day to create games and share the same passion that started this journey.

The State of Development

Last week, we released the Wind Runners Demo, and we are incredibly happy with the reception so far. Seeing players discover the Zerah Igna System, share their feedback, and leave positive reviews has been an amazing milestone for our team.

Over the past months, we have focused heavily on improving the game's feel and overall "juice" making combat more impactful, movement more satisfying, and every battle more intense.

Our next major focus is the meta-progression system, expanding what happens between runs and strengthening the feeling of building the Resistance over time. We can't wait to share more of what is coming next.

Join the Resistance

The Resistance is growing, and this is only the beginning of our journey.

If you haven't already, jump into the Wind Runners Demo and take your first flight against the Realm. Your feedback and Steam reviews are incredibly valuable to us and help us improve the game as we continue development.

Wind Runners

played the demo

Thank goodness the DEMO is free. I had been waiting for this game for so long, following the trailers and screenshots, and after finally playing the DEMO, it felt like a bucket of cold water. The gameplay and controls are really bad. 2026 seems to be the year of bad games. The moment you see that "Made with Unity" screen, you can already expect a disaster. Unity has become such a versatile engine that practically anyone can make a game now, and that's terrible. We've traded quality for quantity. The Stea...

The Wind Runners Demo Is Live

7 Jun

Wind Runners early access releases on September 23rd and we got a new trailer for you!

We've got a lot to share, so let's get into it!

First we finally have a release date: Wind Runners launches in Early Access on September 23rd 2026! and it's actually happening.

We also have a brand new trailer dropping at the PC Gaming Show.

Check out our video if you want to have an early look at the in-run unlockable items we've added.

The Demo Is Here!

Here’s a new playable build of the game, a focused slice of the experience designed to showcase its core systems: high-precision flight controls, upgrade synergies, and fast-paced combat across multiple sectors, culminating in 3 unique boss encounters.

Demo Link

⚠️Please note⚠️: This demo is a snapshot of the game as it is today. Development is ongoing, and we have plenty of ideas, improvements, and new content we're excited to add along the way.

That's exactly why your feedback matters more than ever: every comment, bug report, and suggestion helps us shape Wind Runners into the best early access it can be!

You've been diligently waiting and we're here to deliver!

What's in the Demo

The demo drops you straight into the conflict against the Saints, godlike tyrants commanding colossal warships who rule the galaxy through fear and overwhelming force.

You'll play as Zenna, one of the Runners of the Zerah Igna System. Her ship is built around defense, mobility and survivability, a solid entry point for learning Wind Runners.

In the demo you will:

Choose where to strike across 3 planets, each with its own look
Navigate through a dynamic pathing system run after run
Take on 9 mission types: convoy interceptions, escort missions, fortress assaults and more
Unlock enhancements that shape your build and playstyle as you progress

Lightning-fast Dogfighting

You're piloting a physical ship with weight, inertia, boost, braking and barrel rolls. Every dodge, turn and attack depends on how well you manage speed and momentum. That feeling is central to everything. The game fully supports both controller and keyboard & mouse, though we recommend playing with a controller.

Create unique builds.

4 technology classes, each with a distinct combat identity:

Electric : auto-hits nearby enemies, great for clearing groups
Laser : piercing damage, strong against bosses
Storm : recharges weapons faster and enhances boost effects
Aura : defense and survivability

Items stack into synergies, and every run is a new opportunity to discover a combination that clicks.

Destroy the cardinal beasts and their strongholds

Cardinal Beast encounters, and they're not just bigger enemies, each one changes the rhythm of combat entirely:

Warship : On the planet Drodara. A colossal cruiser that dominates the skies with relentless turret fire and devastating beam attacks. Its sheer size is both its strength and your opportunity.
Spider : On the planet Zenset. A giant robotic mech built to punish every mistake. Get too close and its legs will tear you apart. Pull back and it jumps at you. Phase two adds missiles.
Raven: On the planet Azala. A versatile aircraft with phase-based attacks that shift depending on your position. Just when you think you've figured it out, it retreats into the background and turns the screen into a minefield.

Demo feedback

1) I didn't have any issues with the controls, but it took me a while to realize that using the brake is actually useful when attacking ground targets. It might be worth pointing that out during the tutorial. 2) As some other players have already mentioned, I'd like the camera to be pulled back a bit more to give better visibility. 3) I think making lasers impossible to dodge with the evade maneuver is a mistake. It's not a bad idea in itself, but in the second zone, laser fighters can easily attack from m...

Feedback

En general, estoy satisfecho con la experiencia, no tuve ningún problema en cuanto a controles o bug. Solo no me gusto que las habilidades que hacen que los enemigos dropeen cosas, las cajas se cayeran al suelo, eso corta el flujo, prefiero que se mantengan flotando en el lugar donde el enemigo fue destruido. En cuanto al boss araña, no queda claro si puedo pasar por debajo de las patas sin hacerme daño, a veces pasaba sin daño y otras no....

Could you add local co op?

Don't need to have a seperate ship but like having a turret gunner or something could make it so I could play it co op with my niece which would be really fun.
