About This Game

Cult of the Wind is a game about people who pretend to be airplanes.

"In an unknown time and place, a cult that worships the wreckage of ancient airplanes gathers to mimic the dogfights of old. With the peak of humanity far behind, their world is a mausoleum to a lush and verdant Art Deco past."

In Cult of the Wind, players compete and cooperate in ritualistic multi-player human dogfights, complete with imaginary weapons, pretend explosions, and airplane noises made with their mouths. Shower your friends in a hail of imaginary bullets and proclaim, "I got you! You have to lie down," to which they respond, "Nuh-uh, I have a shield." You argue about whether or not airplanes can have shields, meanwhile some other guy does a cannonball onto your head while whistling. It's great.

With an intuitive point-and-click level editor you'll be able to craft new levels or modify existing ones, then immediately share them with anyone on a server, even if you aren't the host. You can also craft a personalized appearance for your character with numerous articles of clothing and more.

  • Simple, robust level editor
  • Instantly share your creations with others
  • Character customization
  • Dozens of imaginary weapons and abilities
  • Infinitely expandable content
  • Blindingly high-speed mock combat
  • Weird noises

This game is lonely, oh so lonely. However with the hopes that other people will play, I reccomend it. 1) Fun concept 2) easy and smooth mechanics 3) well designed levels If you are interested in trying it out, go post on their forum page. I check once or twice a week hoping someone will answer my gameday post.

This is probably one of the coolest games I have ever played. Sadly, I have only done so by myself. It is a multiplayer game.

Is it a good game? ABSOLUTELY!!! Unfotunately the servers aren't populated much probably due to very little fanfare when the full version released (I bought it during EA) but the community hub is great and workshop support is a wonderful bonus so for $10 it's a wonderful purchase. If you're wary about it then check out reviews and the hub first or consider buying it during a sale. Personally I like buying 4-packs to give away to friends mostly because it's a great LAN game but also because...well, why not?

When I tried playing, directly during a huge sale for a game, there was literally one other person on a 200 ping server. The game's idea is great, but I have no idea if it actually delivers because I can't connect. Literally nobody plays it.

This is my first ever review so... WOW, it's all i can honestly say. Yeah at the time of writing this review ive played one hour but during that one hour i have faught and won many a battle, and used many a power up. The pick ups are what really make this game shine, the randomness of getting a minigun or an auto cannon can greatly affect how the game will play out later, the chance of getting the pick up which will allow you to become your worshiped plane is a CotW players dream. Another brilliant feature is the linear map design, which focuses the fight into key areas, but also provide multiple storeys of combat for you to fight upon, yet is obviously more suited to those who have acuired the bomb pick up. At a bargin of ÂŁ1.74 during the summer sale i saved 75% on this baby, which is even batter. Another great feature is the fact that this game is pretty much my entire life in a game, I too spend coutless hours running about with my arms outstrecthed, making both plane and gun no...

I'm sure it's a great game, I just can't find out whether it is or not considering there is literally no one playing.

The game is very fun... for about 5 minutes. There just isn't really that much to do. The one offical server never has anybody playing, and there are no bots, so there is no reason to play the game right now... shame that such a great concept went to waste :(

Online-only game with a dead community. Compelling premise. Wish I could play.

I was getting tired of playing with myself in the real world. Now I can do it in this virtual one.

At the begining of this year my life was hell. I had no job, my parents disowned me and my crackwhore wife was about to birth my crack addict baby. Things where ruff and I even contemplated suicide after I found out I was diagnosed HIV positive. The days turned into nightmares as my mind was riddled with anxiety in anticipation of the dark days to come. I seeked solice in alcohol and perscription drugs but none of it helped, it looked like there was nothing that could help me. Then, in the midst of the steam summer sale 2015 I saw a multiplayer game about people pretending to be planes, a game about people,people who in the face of adversity said ''no: I will not be brought down by alcohol, drugs and my crackwhore wife;I will not succum to societal pressures;I will rise above what is expected of me AND I WILL pretend to be a plane''. Cult of the wind changed my life. I got a new job, my parents have accepted me back into the family and my wife and unborn child were assassinated by a hi...
