After nearly a year of radio silence after initial release, today my favorite fighting-game-that's-technically-not-a-fighting game, WindJammers 2, got a stealth update. And tremendous FREE DLC!
The update includes:
- Practice Mode (Yes!!)
- Online Cross-Platform Support (Neat!)
- Spectator Mode (Finally!)
- Online Lobbies (FINALLY!!)
And TWO new characters, including:
- Extremely Large Girl (Swoon!!)
- Extremely ROBOT Girl (Awesome!!!!)
The game was moldering away, with fundamentally fantastic core gameplay, but no way for players to really connect. The lack of lobbies made it really difficult for groups, and the lack of spectator mode made it extremely challenging for online tournaments. Also, the meta had all but locked out half the roster, as everyone gravitated toward extremely fast or extremely strong characters (this meant all the girls were irrelevant).
This update changes all of that.
"Geeze, Phorm," you might be saying, "You're shilling this a little hard, aren't you?"
Yes!!! Because I love this game, and it was DEAD. And now it looks like it has another chance in a big way! It's also currently on sale on Steam for $10!
I am sitting at work practically vibrating through my chair, because I want to get home and try this update out.
And I really, really would like to play it with new folks, learn it deeper, and have fun with people in the process.
