About

Wind Runners is a high-octane bullet-hell dogfighter, featuring roguelite progression and a vibrant, pixelated art style, and casting the player as a lone pilot up against the combined fighting forces of the ruthless techno-teism Realm.

For centuries, the Realm has used fear and its military superiority to keep the Zerah Igna System under control. But a group of rebellious Ishma has risen to fight its tyranny. With their superior aerial combat skills, the Wind Runners will bring freedom to all who live under the shadow of oppression!
