A Valley Without Wind

A Valley Without Wind is a 2D sidescrolling adventure with tactical combat and citybuilding, set in the procedurally generated world of Environ. There is no linear path: you can roam the vast world, take on missions, develop a settlement and choose how to prepare to face the much stronger Overlord. The world adapts to your play, with difficulty progression, tips and checklists to guide your travels.

Explore Environ

Environ is an expanding sandbox of dangerous creatures, powerful magic, high technology and mysteries. You can travel alone or with friends, go anywhere you can see—including the Overlord’s keep—and uncover secret missions and stashes of magical crafting loot. After you save a continent from an overlord, a larger, more complex continent appears.

Missions and combat

Complete missions to earn new spells, or explore the wilds for hidden opportunities and loot. The game adjusts monsters and missions as you demonstrate your proficiency; for example, defeating 100 bats can lead to bats on fire. Challenges can be solved in more than one way, with different pros and cons, so you can work out your own approach.

Customize your adventurers

Combine spells, enchants and equipment to create specialized character builds. Spells and enchants can also change how your character moves, jumps and fights. You play as a succession of adventurers: when a character dies, they are permanently lost, but you keep your inventory, enchants and general game progress.

Build your settlement

Rescue NPCs and bring them back to your settlement, where you can construct buildings and improve their skills and mood. You can then send them on dispatch missions to help you. Your rescued community can take on some of the work of supporting your fledgling civilization.

Set your challenge

Difficulty settings let you choose separate levels of challenge for platforming, combat and citybuilding, ranging from casual to hardcore.
