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.

As you can see by my time played im quite experience... so i know what im talking about.
Cult of the Wind is a great game for people who are like me and wish they could just transform into an aeroplane and fly, some people want to be birds but i want to be plane. In the game you pretend to be an aeroplane flying around firing imaginary bullets, come play with me its great.
also there are no players and only 1 server, the dedicated main server with a max of 16 people. no one actually plays this game. 15 bucks or how ever much it was well spent come join me

Cult of Wind presents a comical looking and original gameplay in an over the shoulder shooter.
Heck, it looks great since it has Steamworks for map creation so you can whip up your own temple to the sky god. Sadly, the delivery is an absolute nose dive. Whereas most multiplayer games would have several dedicated servers running, Cult of Wind only has one which is empty. Even with it being on sale at $2, I was hoping for some fun only to experience absolute defeat when I saw there is nobody else playing, not even privately hosted servers. It doesn’t help that the developer has done nothing since the game left early access back in 2014.
The combination of an inactive player base and a missing in action developer leads me to conclude that this game dead, just like the airplanes that once flew.

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 :(

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.

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?

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 £1.74 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 noises, running around with my cardboard plane on, and also jumping from worring hights. This has lead to me having to visit A&E on multiple occasions with fractures in my leg, i also ran in to a wall and fractured my cranium whilst aspiring to become a plane. But you see this is why this game is so adequate for people like me, i now no longer have to injure my self, i can merely play the game to get the release that i need, Which at the age of 43 and a half is quite difficult to achieve.
I just cannot wait for the sequel to this, just imagine jet fighters, using lock on rockets and other advanced weaponry to take down other plane enthusiasts, you just can't get enough of it can you. By using the word cult in the title those cheeky chappies at north of earth were just foreshadowing the popularity of this, though there isnt manny of us that now play this, we are devout followers to the end.
I love you cult of the wind.

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.

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.
