It’s like a randomly generated Metroidvania, though this isn’t to say players can’t build things in A Valley Without Wind, they just won’t have to rely on construction so heavily (as in Minecraft). Choice is a major part of A Valley Without Wind. Gamers can team up with their friends, or go solo, and choose to do whatever they want when starting a new game. The world is procedurally generated, meaning that when players create a new game it’s a new world each time – something seen in both Terraria and Minecraft....
