HexWind Update 5

We’re just over two weeks into our Steam Early Access, and the feedback and support has been outstanding - both the happy reactions AND the constructive criticism on what our new game HexWind needs to reach its full potential! Today, we’re excited to be rolling out major features

We’re just over two weeks into our Steam Early Access, and the feedback and support has been outstanding - both the happy reactions AND the constructive criticism on what our new game HexWind needs to reach its full potential!

Today, we’re excited to be rolling out major features that address some of the main requests about game progression.

Put another way, we heard it loud and clear: “hey, the combat is great, but how do missions fit together?”

Luckily, expanding this aspect was ALWAYS in the works for us after tightening the core combat loop.

Without further ado, here’s how we’re bringing an exciting new progression system to HexWind:

🔥 Introducing the Mausoleum!

Get ready for the new Mausoleum, where you'll choose and prepare for missions. Inside, you'll progress through connected missions across the new map on the mysterious Sarcophagus of Fated Winds.

This magical map allows you to select new chaos rifts, challenges, and missions to conquer, making the game much more than a collection of disconnected battles; it's a gauntlet designed to test your stamina, reflexes, and mastery of magic.

🌟 Meet Chance, the New NPC

In a world...with no NPCs...you get a bit lonely.

The inquisitor’s been aching for a friend. So we delivered.

Say hello to Chance, our first NPC, a mysterious observer of the endless battle between Order (HexWind) and Chaos (the Blind God).

Seek him out in the Mausoleum and other areas to discover how he can influence your journey.

Stay with us to see how we flesh Chance out in future updates!

💀 Experience the New Death....

In HexWind, dying isn't the end—it's more of a stepping stone.

With this new update, your next death might be a bit...different...

We know these additions bring a whole new dimension to HexWind, that player have been asking for!

It's time to jump back in, test your reflexes, and embrace the sweet sting of defeat (and, perhaps, triumph?)

As always, your feedback is the wind beneath our wings.

Head over to the Steam page for HexWind to check it out!

Cheers,

The Charm Games Team 💖

Attention Beta Participants - The Big One is here!

Our latest update is now LIVE for our game HexWind, with hefty new Lore, Combat, and Progression updates.

A we've been gearing up for our public early access launch, so along long with that, we’re heads down adding crucial core features to refine the HexWind experience, so this update is packed with exciting new features and improvements that we know will elevate your HexWind journey to new heights.

Here's the list of additions to the gameplay and world:

🌪️ Chaos Rift Battles - Chaos Beacons & Holy Strike

Chaos battles just got a massive upgrade! With the Riftsealer Codex, you can now engage in intensified Chaos Rift Battles featuring the mighty Holy Strike. Complete the throughline and immerse yourself in the epic resolution of these chaotic encounters. It's time to unleash your true power!

🗺️ World Map - Encounter Selection

Introducing the magical World Map inside the HexWind Stronghold. This is your gateway to new chaos rifts, challenging missions, and thrilling encounters. Choose your path and seek out adventures in a much simpler and direct way!

👻 New Enemy: Beware the Chaos Spectre

Meet the newest addition to our lineup of foes: the Chaos Spectre. These elusive figures blend seamlessly into the chaos environment, acting as both traps and enemies. They'll encircle you when you least expect it, so keep your eyes peeled.

📚 Introducing the HexWind Codex

Loreheads, we’ve got you covered. Dig into the lore of HexWind with the all-new HexWind Codex. Right now as a proof-of-concept appearing as a new wing of the Stronghold, we’ll be filling this with rich descriptions, images, and 3D models of the enemies you've encountered. We hope this adds a rewarding way to dive deeper into our magical world.

💀 New Enemy Skeleton Variants With new visual styles and attack patterns

Variety is the spice of (after)life, right? To that end, we’ve introduced new Enemy Skeleton Variants with different visual styles and melee attack patterns. Each skeleton brings a unique challenge, requiring you to adapt your strategies and keep your combat skills sharp.

Hi Twilight Path Fans!

As we move forward on our latest game HexWind, we’re very excited about this significant update, which is bringing some fundamental changes that amp up the combat experience, and some highly-requested tweaks from our Beta players. In many ways, it’s a brand new HexWind - so we are excited for you to head over to the page and feel the difference.

Once again, we need to take a moment to say how your feedback has continued to inspire us – without further ado, here’s what’s new!

🌪️ Chaos Rift Battles - A Major New and Fundamental Addition to the Game

Step into the Chaos Rifts—mysterious portals that plunge you into intense battles. Experience the thrill of fighting waves of enemies, dodging traps, and navigating arcane beams, all within the distortion of Hextime.

Let’s be clear - The intensity is turned UP in these battles, as you race to gather rift shards from fallen enemies. Maybe it’s just us, but we often broke a sweat during testing.
Beat all challenges to reseal the rifts and continue on your journey.

🌀 Wand Motion Combat - A major addition to the control scheme

Highly requested and now here! Players can unleash new offensive magic with Wand Motion Combat! Now, swiping or slashing your wand creates powerful magical attacks. Get creative with your movements and discover new ways to defeat your foes. This leverages the player’s style and finesse to create a more visceral way to ‘feel’ like a wizard.

⚔️ New Mini-Boss: Cinderwraith

Meet Cinderwraith, a formidable skeleton mini-boss with a penchant for spears. Prepare yourself for an epic showdown—we think he’ll soon enter the ranks of one of the toughest skeletons in gaming.

⚡ Lightning Impale

Introducing the Lightning Impale ability: impale enemies with lightning and slam them into the ground—or into other enemies. It's a powerful new way to turn the tide in battle, and add an electrifying (groan…) experience to the gameplay.

As you can see, this update brings a ton of new functionality that bring this Beta experience a massive leap ahead in terms of showcasing our vision for the gameplay.

We know that these new features will fundamentally alter your experience and so we urge you to check them out when you can.

As always, your feedback is invaluable—please share your thoughts and experiences. Together, we're crafting something truly special.

Happy adventuring! The Charm Games Team

We've got some exciting updates fresh out of the oven, and we’ll be sharing in more detail what’s recently released, and what’s coming up.

New features already live:

Chaos Lord Just Got... Chaotic-er?

The Chaos Lord (you know, the big boss in the beta) has upped his game thanks to some recent updates. Now, when his sword hits the ground, he creates arcane beams that shoot outwards like the Chaos Crystal. Translation: A more unforgiving challenge we hope leads to more epic battles in your beta experience.

Pop back in and we’d love to hear what you think!

New Spell: Lightning Strike

This nifty new spell automatically fires a lightning bolt whenever you shoot your wand, giving you an extra zap in combat.

Handy New UI Elements

We heard you loud and clear—keeping track of stats and upgrades was a bit tricky. So, we've added new UI elements! Now, when you hit pause, you'll see your character stats, items, and upgrades all neatly displayed. Knowledge is power, so we’ll be continuing to work hard on making our UI and HUD as helpful (and as seamless) as possible

Smooth Turn Option

For those of you who prefer smooth turning, we’ve added that option in the player settings. Access it from the pause menu to choose between Snap and Smooth turning.

Explore New Areas in the Catacombs Zone

Cavern of Woe: Venture into this mysterious new area filled with secrets and challenges, although you may need to upgrade your magical abilities to do so.

Hall of Mourning: The final resting place for many of the order’s fallen heroes, now contains powerful malevolent reanimated horrors.

We can't wait to hear about your adventures in these new areas, and of course, we look forward to yet more environment releases we’ve got coming next week!

Coming Soon! Boosting the Rogue-lite Experience and Replayability

One of our most important priorities is to continually dial up the rogue-lite game elements to make each run feel unique and exciting! Here’s what’s in development and arriving soon:

Player Blessings V1:

These are run-specific upgrades that stack as you continue - they reset each time you start a new quest or path.

Unlockable Wind Magic

Upgrades: Soon, you’ll be able to unlock abilities like dash, double jump, and extra charges of wind magic during your run. We know these will help you customize your playstyle and find new ways to navigate the world!

New mini-bosses:

We can’t wait for you to check out our new enemy types, including our Void Initiate, a floating mini-boss enemy that can cast many flaming skull heads to seek and destroy you.

These features will add more depth and replayability, so every time you play, there's something new to experience.

We're super excited for you to check out these updates. Your input has been instrumental in getting us this far, so please keep the feedback coming!

Happy adventuring, and may the winds be ever in your favor!
