Cloudheim

This game is fun. My kid and I have been playing it together and we have a blast. The shared save file works flawlessly and we can play with or without co-op and continue to progress our world. Normally we do not play co-op games that do not offer a dedicated server, but this is a really good in-between. The combat is really the highlight of the show here. All of the weapons feel great and the mastery system is enjoyable. We like trying different combinations of weapons and skills, there are plenty to choose from. We are playing on the highest difficulty now, as the game is pretty accessible. Coming from souls-likes and other games like Monster Hunter and Dauntless, we are pretty seasoned in the get in / get out combat cadence. I would not say it is overly challenging, but it is FUN. Overall, I think this game is a bit of a hidden gem that I hope more people discover. It is a fun, casual co-op title that delivers accessible, chaotic fun. I have no regrets on the purchase.

smash things. kill stuff. spend coin. run shop. have fun. good game.

Lots of fun - Yes Good visuals - Yes Lots of content - Yes Combat - with the grappling and kicking its extremely fun and has a decent amount of physics involvement Few bugs - Absolutely (not much game breaking though and I've seen as bad in fully released games) - its in early access.... UI and map need improvement - Yes (again early access) Overall its a really good game and hopefully will only get better between now and release.

Please add Russian language Безумно приятная игра, разнообразие боевки в рамках одного класса впечатляет, персонаж отзывчивый, каждый его удар ощущается, ты его контролируешь от и до. Перед вами огромный открытый мир с множеством головоломок, секретов, исследовать его только в удовольствие. Квесты по большей части однообразные (пойди зачисти даже или локацию), но при этом не пытаются душить лишним фармом. Отдельный удивлением для меня стала возможность строить свою базу, помимо открытого мира есть локация вне, где можно выстраивать производственные линии, крафтить вещи и продавать их, зарабатывая всё больше. Лута много, за полтора часа нашел кучу оружия, которые меняют ваш мувсет, имеют свои особенности, баффы. Наиграл не очень много, но однозначно рекомендую. Cloudheim не скоро выйдет из раннего доступа, но обязательно к ней присмотритесь. Пока единственной претензией от меня является отсутствие ру языка, тут слишком много текста, историй и подсказок. Хотелось бы все это читать на родном.

I'm old enough that I've been playing games for longer than most people reading this have been alive. I've played the first Sonic or Mario games back when they were new. And Cloudheim reminds me, in a way, of the games of old. Back in the days, you played games because playing them was fun in itself. The gameplay was its own reward. Nowadays, when I see stuff like "I forced myself to complete this game to get all achievements but man I hated it" or "100% in this game is not fun at all", I wonder why people inflict that upon themselves. But then again, games where the gameplay itself is so very satisfying have become a rare thing. We live in an era of monetization platforms with games duct-taped on them, FOMO, cash shops, battlepasses, retention strategies to "keep the player engaged" (read "if they spend enough time playing our game, the sunk cost fallacy will keep them playing and we have more opprtunities to sell them some ♥♥♥♥"), extraneous rewards like achievements that are supposed to be the main drive to keep going, twitch drops, loot crates... Man, I hate what gaming has become. Enters Cloudheim. Cloudheim reminds me of the games of old because playing it is, in itself, fun. The gameplay is the retention strategy. Who would have thought that people would play a game if it's pleasant to play it, right ? Combat alone could carry this game, it is extremely satisfying, rewarding creativity and clever environmental and physics interaction far more than mindless grind and stats. But exploration is not half bad either, lots of chests and minor rewards hidden everywhere, and you don't have an Ubisoft-like map telling you where everything is likee a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ groceries list to clear. Just an indication of how many things you missed, up to you to figure it out. The game is not perfect, of course. Needs some time in the oven, the base development is not bad, but not incredible either. There is a bit of grind for ressources. But overall, the game is extremely fun to play, and that's what every game should aspire to be. Recommended, of course.

Enjoyable. Delightful. A cozy break from your uber-difficult WoW or Elden Ring playthrough with Just enough strategy required to keep it interesting. The art and design are great, and the characters, even the enemies are so fun to watch. My only complaint is that I'm super motion sickness sensitive, so I hope the developers integrate adjustable camera views. I can only tolerate playing for an hour at most, then I have to stop because panning around during combat from close behind your character is murder for motion sickness. I still recommend this game though! Just needs a little more fine-tuning.

This game is confusing. Combat feels floaty. Character progression mechanics are terrible and entirely passive. Store/shop mechanic is not well thought out. Overall it's a good concept with poor execution, will need a lot of work to make a fun gameplay loop/

This game needs a direction. It feels like they have no idea of what an endgame is and how to make a good game loop. It has good gameplay but the situations are lacking and needs to be more combat and less puzzles and exploration. They do have a roguelite mode that is close (very close) but it’s a side activity. I’m looking for mission and dungeon mode and not open world with pockets of combat that don’t really scratch my itch. It as huge potential and I'm begging them to make a mission mode. Also the UI is scuffed because of all the place holders. Time to clean it up.

It's Dopamine... the game. i dont normally review a game only after 4 hours. But if a game holds my interest for 4 straight hours the first time i play it, because im just having that much fun... its good. Pure dopamine. i like games that feel engaging but also relaxing enough to wind down between work hours. This is that game.
