Strap in for one of the wildest ideas in the action RPG space because Cloudheim turns sky battles into full blown mayhem. Built by Noodle Cat Games, this is a world shattered after Ragnarok where survivors live on floating islands drifting across the clouds. You play as an adventurer carving out a life aboard a flying turtle called Odin Shell. It is part airship, part home, and part mobile storefront. From this unlikely base you will explore, craft, and smash your way through a sky full of monsters and opportunity.
The gameplay is fast, chaotic, and driven by physics. Every hit sends enemies flying, every explosion has weight, and even a simple fight can turn into a circus of barrels, grapples, and soaring bodies. Cloudheim rewards creativity, so you can juggle enemies midair, chain together weapon combos, and use the environment to crush everything in your path. It is not about following a set formula but about learning to improvise with the world around you.
Between battles, the tone shifts to something cozier. On your flying turtle you run a workshop and shopfront, crafting gear and trading your spoils. You decorate your base, tinker with weapon blueprints, and stock items for sale to passing travelers. It feels like a mix between a blacksmith simulator and a chaotic RPG hub, full of personality and life.
Exploration takes you across floating islands connected by portals and storms. Each one hides dungeons, creatures, and treasures waiting to be discovered. The art style leans into bright skies, thick clouds, and glowing magic effects that give every scene a sense of wonder. It feels like a Saturday morning cartoon come to life, but with a few broken bones and flying barrels.
The game shines in co op play where up to four players can join forces. You share loot, coordinate attacks, and accidentally blow each other off cliffs in the process. The physics engine makes teamwork both thrilling and unpredictable, turning every session into a highlight reel of lucky shots and spectacular disasters.
Cloudheim is still finding its balance between comedy and chaos, but it is already clear this one has heart. It mixes action, humor, and charm in a way few games dare to. When your base is a flying turtle and your enemies explode like fireworks, you know you are in for something special.
