Watch the Cloudheim Open Beta trailer:
Cloudheim is a vibrant action-crafting adventure game built for co-op chaos and based around creative physics-based combat. Up to four players can team up to unleash mayhem in a fully destructible world. Tear down pillars onto the monsters around you, lasso enemies into tornadoes, kick exploding barrels into the fray, and string together aerial combos. Anything and everything can happen in this sandbox of pandemonium!
Your offensive options are exponentially expanded as you can craft hundreds of potential weapons, gear, and powerful attacks on the fly by tossing materials into forges in real time. There’s no menus or downtime here folks! Instead, you can see exactly what your friends are up to at any given moment, as everything happens persistently in the game world. All loot and crafted items are shared, though player progression is not, so you’ll have to work as a team to make the most of your band’s ever-changing array of abilities.

Explore diverse islands and mysterious dungeons while building up your flying turtle base, Odin’s Shell, in this colorful world inspired by Norse mythology. Expand your workshop, customize your space, run a thriving shop, and uncover hidden secrets as your fortress takes flight!
"Among Cloudheim’s chief joys is the creative chaos you can unleash by combining weapons then letting your attacks interact with each other and the environment in hilarious, unexpected ways, and even us, as the developers, haven’t seen close to all the combinations possible," said David Hunt, CEO and Founder of Noodle Cat Games. "That’s why we’re so excited to finally share this Open Beta with players, as we’re sure we’re going to see new things we never thought possible! The feedback we receive will be instrumental to making Cloudheim the best, most chaotic, hilarious, and just plain fun co-op game it can be when it launches later this year on PC, PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S.”
