Colony sim fans will have to wait just a few more days to lead their settlers out of the Dark Ages. Publisher Mythwright and developer Foxy Voxel have announced that the 1.0 full release of Going Medieval has been moved from March 12th to March 17th, 2026.
The game will launch simultaneously across Steam, Epic Games Store, and GOG.
Why the Change?
The decision isn’t due to development hurdles, but rather a tactical move to avoid a “crowded week.” In an official update, the developers noted that March 12th was shaping up to be a busy day for city builders and colony sims. By shifting the date, they hope to give Going Medieval the “space it deserves” and ensure players don’t have to split their attention between multiple major launches on the same day.
What’s Coming in 1.0?
After nearly five years in Early Access and over 1 million units sold, the 1.0 update is set to be the game’s most significant milestone yet. Key features include:
Grand Objectives: A new way to reach a definitive conclusion for each campaign.
Renown and Global Stats: A completely overhauled progression system for your settlement.
New Starting Conditions: Unique gameplay modifications to change how you begin your journey.
Quality of Life: Numerous fixes, visual upgrades (like new grass and map edge details), and improved UI.
The 1.0 launch marks the end of a long journey that included 16 major content updates and 75 “Medieval Monday” dev blogs. For those who can’t wait, a playable demo remains available on Steam to give you a taste of the castle-building action.
Whether you’re a die-hard RPG fan or someone who can’t resist a good musical number, Iridium Studios is about to drop a title that might just be the most harmonious blend of both. Announced at TGS 2025 and set for release on April 7, 2026, People of Note is a “musical narrative adventure” that turns the standard turn-based RPG into a high-stakes battle of the bands.
Here is everything you need to know about this upcoming title from the studio that brought us Before the Echo and There Came an Echo.
The Setlist: The Story of Cadence
You play as Cadence, an aspiring pop singer who gets rejected from the prestigious “Noteworthy Song Contest” for being a solo act. Realising she needs a bit more range, she sets out across the world of Note to recruit a band of eclectic musicians.
The world itself is a love letter to music culture. You’ll travel to:
Durandis: The gritty Rock City.
Lumina: A neon-soaked EDM metropolis.
The Homestead: A wild-west region ruled by country music hooligans.
But it’s not all auditions and applause. A phenomenon called the Harmonic Convergence is destabilising the world’s musical energy, and Cadence’s new crew might be the only ones who can fix the frequency.
Gameplay: Where RPG Meets Rhythm
Iridium Studios has a history of experimenting with unique inputs (like the voice-controlled There Came an Echo). In People of Note, they’ve reimagined the traditional turn-based combat system through a musical lens.
1. The Stanza System
Instead of a standard turn order, battles play out on a Stanza (a music-themed action bar).
Time Signatures: The top number dictates how many actions your party takes, while the bottom number represents the enemy’s moves.
Dynamic Conditions: As the music shifts genres mid-battle, the conditions change. A “Rock” segment might buff Fret’s guitar attacks, while a “Pop” segment amplifies Cadence’s abilities.
2. Tempo-Based Combat
While it is turn-based, there is a rhythmic element. Timing your button presses to the beat of the song increases your damage or healing—similar to the “timed hits” in Super Mario RPG or Clair Obscur: Expedition 33.
3. Musical Mashups
The real spectacle comes from combining your band members’ styles. You can unleash Mashup attacks that blend different genres (like Pop and Metal) to create powerful, screen-clearing effects.
Accessibility: Play It Your Way
One of the standout features of People of Note is its commitment to customisation. The developers understand that not everyone is a rhythm pro or a puzzle master. You can toggle several features on or off:
Environmental Puzzles: Don’t like sliding mirrors and light beams? You can turn them off.
Quick Time Events: If rhythm-based timing isn’t for you, there’s an option to play without them.
Adjustable Difficulty: Tailor the combat challenge to your preference.
Pro Tip: If you want to get a head start, there is a free demo available on Steam right now that lets you play through the opening hours and the first few boss fights!
Final Details
Release Date: April 7, 2026
Platforms: PC (Steam/Epic), PS5, Xbox Series X|S, and Nintendo Switch 2.
Price: $24.99 (with a 10% launch discount).
Voice Cast: Features industry heavyweights like Erika Ishii and Debra Wilson.
People of Note looks to be a vibrant, pun-filled adventure that isn’t afraid to be weird. Whether you’re there for the genre-bending soundtrack or the tactical “Stanza” combat, it’s definitely one to keep on your radar this spring.

The long wait is over! Cloudheim, the vibrant, physics-fueled co-op action RPG from Noodle Cat Games, has officially launched into Early Access on PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store!
If you’ve been craving a game that blends chaotic, satisfying combat with deep crafting and base-building, all wrapped in a gorgeous, Norse-inspired fantasy world, then the skies of Cloudheim are calling your name.
What is Cloudheim?
Imagine a world shattered by Ragnarok, where the floating remnants of islands are corrupted, and the ancient gods are asleep. You and your friends (up to 4-player online co-op!) are the chosen ones, the Runari, tasked with bringing harmony back to the broken realm from your base on the back of a giant flying turtle named Odin Shell.
This isn’t your average RPG, and here’s why it’s already generating buzz:
Physics-Driven Combat: Forget button-mashing. Cloudheim’s combat is about mastering the chaos. Use your powers, weapons, and the environment to lasso enemies, launch them off cliffs, and juggle them mid-air for massive damage. Every fight is a dynamic, destructive playground.
Real-Time, Visual Crafting: No more inventory menus! Crafting is a hands-on, shared experience. Gather materials and toss them directly into crafting stations on Odin Shell to forge new gear, upgrade abilities, and prepare for your next expedition.
The Odin Shell Base: This isn’t just a hub—it’s your evolving home and business! Upgrade your massive flying turtle base, recruit helpful creatures called Blins, and even run your own fantasy shop to sell the loot you’ve gathered on your adventures.
A World Ripe for Exploration: The Early Access build launches with multiple distinct islands—including the starting region of Arcadia and the new areas of Duslanger, Greenvor, and Frostvaldr—each filled with quests, puzzles, ever-shifting dungeons, and powerful secrets to uncover.
More Content Than Ever Before
For those who played the beloved demo, the Early Access release brings a huge expansion of content:
Four Major Islands and their associated questlines, bosses, and dungeons are now available.
Deeper Progression: Explore four major classes (Runeblade, Sentinel, Breaker, Ranger) with unique weapon types and skills, and level up your gear through the enhanced crafting system.
A Solid Foundation: The developers at Noodle Cat Games have listened closely to community feedback, making major improvements to the physics, jump mechanics, and the shop system to ensure a smooth, fun experience from day one.
What to Expect in Early Access
This launch is just the beginning of Cloudheim’s journey. Noodle Cat Games has stated that they plan for an Early Access period of 9–12 months, promising regular content updates, bug fixes, and new features driven by player feedback.
They are committed to building the game with the community, so if you jump in now, you’ll have a direct hand in shaping the future of Cloudheim.
“We’re extremely excited to launch Cloudheim into Early Access… We can’t wait for players to experience everything we’ve added. We’re eager to build Cloudheim together with our players.” — David Hunt, CEO, Founder, and Game Designer at Noodle Cat Games.
Whether you’re looking to dive into the chaotic combat, perfect your crafting empire, or simply explore the beautiful ruins of a world after Ragnarok, now is the perfect time to grab your lasso and jump into the skies.
Cloudheim is available now on Steam and the Epic Games Store!

Are you ready to dive headfirst into a world where high fantasy meets high strategy? Then look no further than Dragon Front: Adventures! This new turn-based, deckbuilding roguelike from High Voltage Software is rewriting the rules of the card-battling genre, and it’s a must-play for fans of tactical depth and endless replayability.
No Mana? No Problem! A Revolution in Strategy
The first thing that sets Dragon Front: Adventures apart from the crowd is its bold rejection of the traditional mana or energy system. That’s right—every hand is playable, every turn is a tactical decision!
Instead of waiting to build up resources, the game’s strategy revolves entirely around unit placement, positioning, and timing on a 4×4 grid. You command a legendary Champion and must outthink your opponent by strategically deploying units and spells to protect your Champion and destroy the enemy’s banner. It’s a true tug-of-war where every move matters.
A High-Fantasy, Dieselpunk War-Torn World
The game’s aesthetic is a captivating blend of high fantasy and World War II-inspired dieselpunk. Imagine heavily armoured champions on horseback, dwarves wielding Tommy guns, and soaring dragons clashing with powerful war machines. This unique setting provides a visually striking backdrop for the game’s seven diverse factions:
Seven Unique Factions: Each region offers a distinct theme, with its own units, spells, and formidable Champions.
Over 300 Cards: Explore a massive collection of units and spells to forge your ultimate, game-breaking deck.
The Adventure Awaits: Endless Roguelike Replayability
Dragon Front: Adventures is designed for the solo adventurer, offering immense replay value through its procedural, roguelike structure. Each run is a fresh, challenging journey:
Procedural Maps: Your Champion traverses three enemy regions, with a new map of encounters and challenges every time you play.
Forge Your Army: Along your path, you’ll recruit new units, salvage foreign Promotion Gems to upgrade your favourite cards with powerful new abilities, and collect Relics for game-changing effects.
Narrative Paths: Choose your path wisely, navigating between challenging battles, taverns for missions, mini-bosses, stores, and more.
Become a Legend
With over 20 unique Champions to unlock—each with their own starting deck and a legendary ability that can turn the tide of battle—the path to victory is paved with experimentation. The game rewards strategic creativity, allowing you to discover near-unlimited card combinations.
If you are a fan of deckbuilders like Slay the Spire but crave a grid-based, positional strategy layer that eliminates the frustration of unplayable hands, then Dragon Front: Adventures is an absolute must-add to your library. It’s a compelling, deep, and beautifully presented new take on the genre.

The charming bipedal robots, Aku and Sila, are back! If you’re looking for a delightful blend of physics-based puzzles, platforming, and cooperative mayhem, the newly released Biped 2 is ready to test your communication skills—and maybe your friendships!
What is Biped 2 All About?
Building on the foundation of the critically acclaimed original, Biped 2 is a co-op action-adventure puzzle game where you control adorable robots on a mission to answer a mysterious distress signal from a distant planet.
The core gameplay centres around the unique control scheme: each of your robot’s two legs is controlled independently by an analogue stick on your controller. This seemingly simple mechanic leads to hilarious, drunken-sailor-like movement that is deceptively challenging and incredibly fun when you finally sync up with your partner.
New Features and Expanded Co-op
The sequel is packed with enhancements and new ways to play that truly expand the “biped” experience:
Expanded Multiplayer: For the first time, Biped 2 introduces a four-player co-op mode! Get a team together for even more frenetic, challenging, and side-splitting puzzle-solving across the new biomes.
More Ways to Move: Aku and Sila have some new tricks! Expect new mechanics like hang gliding for soaring across gaps and a grappling hook to conquer ledges and breaks, adding exciting variety to the platforming.
Unique Pair Mechanics: The game forces true collaboration. You’ll encounter puzzles where one player must act as the robot’s “legs” while another takes the role of the “arms,” requiring flawless coordination to succeed.
Solo Play: For those who want to master the controls before bringing in a friend, or just enjoy a lone-wolf adventure, a dedicated single-player mode is also included.
Customisation: Collect treasures throughout the levels to buy wacky new hats and accessories. Style is a must for intergalactic heroes!
The Hilariously High Stakes
Reviews agree: Biped 2 is not for the faint of heart! While the aesthetic is cute and charming, the puzzles quickly ramp up the difficulty, demanding precision, timing, and constant communication.
The initial awkwardness of controlling two legs with two sticks quickly turns into a deeply rewarding feeling when you and your friend finally manage to perfectly synchronise your steps to cross a collapsing bridge or solve an intricate environmental puzzle. Be prepared for a few shouts of “LEFT! NO, MY LEFT!”—it’s all part of the fun!
Time to Take the Leap!
Biped 2 is a wonderful choice for those who love cooperative gaming and are ready for a challenging but ultimately rewarding experience. It’s a game that thrives on shared laughter and the satisfying “a-ha!” moment when you and your partner finally click.
Grab your controllers, call up your friends (up to three of them now!), and prepare to waddle, skate, and grapple your way across the galaxy!
The chilling, post-apocalyptic British countryside of Atomfall just got a whole lot murkier. The Wicked Isle story expansion invites players to take a perilous boat ride to a new, isolated location—Midsummer Island—and its blend of atompunk aesthetics and genuine folk horror is a treat for anyone who loves a good mystery and a thick, unsettling atmosphere.
A Fog-Shrouded, Lovecraftian Retreat
Wicked Isle is less a side-trek and more a deeply integrated new chapter in the Atomfall narrative. Nestled off the Cumberland coast, Midsummer Island is a genuinely distinct environment. The developers, Rebellion, have leaned heavily into the folk horror elements, trading some of the mainland’s paranoia for an ancient, aquatic dread.
Imagine this: you’re exploring a centuries-old monk’s observatory, a relic from the time of Henry VIII, only to gaze out at the ocean and be met with a sight of genuine Lovecraftian terror. This blend of traditional British history and cosmic horror is where the expansion shines, offering a vivid and beautiful (in a terrifying way) environmental design that’s enhanced by new rain effects and stunning water graphics.
New Foes and Ancient Secrets
The disaster at Windscale has taken a particularly nasty toll on Midsummer Island, leading to new threats that will test your survival skills:
Deranged Druid Cults: Empowered by pagan rituals, these infected factions add a layer of occult horror to the radioactive landscape.
Nautical Bandits: Roaming pirate-themed mercenaries who have embraced the island’s dark history.
Strange Creatures: Unnatural entities lurking in the watery depths.
To face these foes, you’ll uncover new gear, like the devastating double-barrel blunderbuss shotgun and a sharp cutlass, along with new skills that can help you survive the heightened infection levels. Look out for the enhanced metal detector to uncover new hidden caches across the entire quarantine zone!
Story Progression by Discovery
Like the base game, Wicked Isle‘s strongest suit is its narrative and atmosphere. The gameplay is less about a frantic difficulty spike and more about unwinding a mystery. The progression is internal—marked by your growing understanding of the world, not just arbitrary stat increases.
The DLC presents a few very compelling storylines, including a time-flashback mechanic that dives into the island’s connection with the production of a paranormal psychoactive alcohol centuries ago. These leads don’t just stay on the island; they tie back into the mainland narrative, leading to a few new, trippy, and arguably worthwhile endings for the main game. If you loved the detective-novel structure of Atomfall, you’ll find plenty to sink your teeth into here.
Final Verdict: A Worthwhile Return
Wicked Isle is essential for anyone who enjoyed the original Atomfall experience. While some of the new weapons might feel like minor upgrades and the enemy AI can still be a little bizarre, the expansion excels where the base game does: atmosphere, world-building, and captivating story additions. It’s more Atomfall, with a fresh, dark folk horror twist that keeps the clock ticking.
Dare to take the boat ride. The secrets waiting on the Wicked Isle are worth the risk.
Are you ready to explore Midsummer Island? If you’ve played the base game, what was your favourite part of the Atomfall universe?
Ragnarök is over. The gods are gone. The world is shattered into a collection of beautiful, floating islands. And who has been chosen to pick up the pieces and build the next civilisation? You.
Welcome to the vibrant, chaotic world of Cloudheim, an upcoming co-op action RPG that’s throwing traditional genre rules out the window. Developed by Noodle Cat Games, this title is shaping up to be a wild, physics-driven ride that blends high-octane combat with a surprisingly deep shopkeeping simulator—all from the back of a massive, flying turtle.
Here’s why Cloudheim is already making waves and what you can expect when it hits Early Access on December 4th!
Master the Mayhem: Physics-Driven Combat
Forget static enemy health bars. Cloudheim’s core combat loop is all about creative destruction and emergent physics. This is a game where your environmental awareness is just as important as your weapon-swinging skill.
Chaos as a Strategy: Why simply hit an enemy when you can kick an exploding barrel into them, or lasso a monster and launch it into a crumbling pillar? The game rewards players who use the fully destructible environments to their advantage. Longer air time, bigger collisions—it all means more damage!
Combo-Driven Action: Drawing inspiration from fighting games, Cloudheim features deep combo and “cancel” systems. You’re never locked into a long animation, allowing you to fluidly chain together different weapon and ability attacks for truly spectacular, screen-filling chaos.
No Menus, Just Magic: The game champions real-time crafting and fusion. Need a new sword? Grab the materials and literally toss them into a nearby forge mid-battle. No inventory menus, no downtime—just visible, immediate creation that encourages teamwork and experimentation.
Your Home is a Giant Flying Turtle
When you’re not out on expeditions to awaken forgotten deities and drive back the corruption that plagues the scattered realm, your base of operations is the magnificent Odin Shell: a colossal, ancient flying turtle.
This isn’t just a fancy loading screen—it’s your fully customizable, evolving home and the heart of your economy.
Forge an Infinite Arsenal: The Odin Shell hosts your workshop, where you and your co-op buddies (up to 4 players) can forge a massive array of ever-evolving weapons and gear.
Run a Fantasy Shop: One of Cloudheim’s most unique twists is the Shop Sim element. You’ll use the loot gathered from dangerous dungeons to stock the shelves of your growing shop, serving customers from all corners of the sky. Upgrade your storefront, expand your offerings, and build a reputation to fund your legendary adventures. It’s an action RPG meets a fantasy entrepreneur.
Built for Co-Op Synergy
While perfectly playable solo, Cloudheim truly shines when you gather your allies. The cooperative design is baked into every system:
Drop-In, Drop-Out Co-op: Friends can join your game instantly to explore diverse islands and mysterious, shifting dungeons.
Shared Loot, Shared Success: Every weapon and ability unlocked is shared across the team, encouraging players to try new builds and freely experiment without worrying about loot competition.
Team Combos: The physics system creates endless opportunities for team synergy. Imagine one player launching a group of enemies into the air, while another summons a tornado to juggle them, and a third finishes the chain by slamming them into a cliff face.
The Journey Ahead
With a gorgeous, Norse-inspired art style and a premise that promises endless emergent gameplay, Cloudheim by Noodle Cat Games is set to be one of the most exciting new co-op adventures of the year.
The demo has already given players a taste of the physics-fueled fun, and with the Early Access launch on Steam and Epic Games Store slated for December 4th, the full journey to shape the next world is about to begin.
Are you ready to kick an enemy off a floating island and then sell the loot they drop to a tiny, adorable creature back on your flying turtle base? We certainly are. Wishlist Cloudheim today and prepare for the chaos!
The world of beat ’em up games is rich with history, and few names resonate as deeply as Double Dragon. Since its arcade debut in 1987, the series has delivered countless hours of intense, side-scrolling brawling. Now, a new contender has entered the ring: Double Dragon Revive. This isn’t just a re-release; it’s a reimagining, a love letter to the original while injecting modern sensibilities.
Let’s dive into what makes Double Dragon Revive a must-play for both long-time fans and newcomers to the genre.
The Legacy Continues: Familiar Faces, New Fights
At its heart, Double Dragon Revive understands what made the original so compelling. You’re still taking on the roles of Billy and Jimmy Lee, two martial arts masters fighting to rescue their beloved Marian from the clutches of the nefarious Black Warriors gang. The core gameplay loop remains intact: walk right, punch, kick, jump-kick, and throw your way through hordes of enemies.
However, “Revive” isn’t just a nostalgic echo. The developers have meticulously crafted new environments, updated character models, and a refreshed enemy roster that feels both familiar and excitingly new. Imagine seeing those classic thugs with a modern polish, their animations more fluid, their attacks more varied.
Modern Touches for a Classic Formula
One of the biggest questions surrounding any “revived” classic is how it balances homage with innovation. Double Dragon Revive seems to have found that sweet spot.
Enhanced Combat System: While retaining the intuitive controls of the original, Revive introduces a deeper combat system. Expect new combos, special moves, and perhaps even a parry or dodge mechanic that adds layers of strategy to the brawling. This isn’t just mindless button mashing anymore; it’s about mastering your moveset.
Visually Stunning: The jump in graphics is immediately apparent. Gone are the pixelated sprites, replaced with beautifully rendered 2D or 2.5D visuals that pop with vibrant colours and detailed environments. The aesthetic is a perfect blend of retro charm and contemporary artistry.
New Game Modes: Beyond the classic arcade mode, Revive offers additional ways to play. This could include challenge modes, time trials, or even a robust co-op experience that elevates the fun of playing with a friend.
Aural Delights: The original Double Dragon soundtrack is iconic. Revive brings back those classic tunes, often reimagined with modern instrumentation, alongside brand new tracks that capture the essence of the series. Prepare for some serious head-nodding as you beat down baddies.
Why Double Dragon Revive Matters
In an era where many classic franchises are either forgotten or given superficial reboots, Double Dragon Revive stands out. It’s a testament to the enduring appeal of simple, satisfying gameplay. It reminds us why we fell in love with beat ’em ups in the first place: the visceral thrill of clearing a screen of enemies, the satisfaction of a perfectly timed special move, and the camaraderie of fighting alongside a friend.
Whether you spent countless quarters at the arcade as a kid or you’re looking for a stellar entry point into the beat ’em up genre, Double Dragon Revive promises to deliver. Get ready to unleash your inner martial artist and reclaim the streets!
The survival horror genre is getting a brutal and ambitious new entry, and it’s one you absolutely shouldn’t miss. From the acclaimed Polish developers at Bloober Team (known for The Medium and the Silent Hill 2 remake), Cronos: The New Dawn is a bold, action-focused take on the genre that blends time travel, retro-futurism, and heart-pounding resource management.
Released on September 5, 2025, for PC, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and even the Nintendo Switch 2, Cronos is proving that there are still plenty of fresh nightmares to explore.
Salvaging the Past, Surviving the Future
Cronos: The New Dawn thrusts you into a bleak, post-apocalyptic future. You play as a Traveller, an agent of the enigmatic Collective, clad in imposing futuristic armour. Your mission is not to rebuild, but to salvage the past.
Humanity was wiped out by a devastating event known as “The Change,” which transformed people into grotesque, monstrous “Orphans.” Your job is to traverse the ravaged wastelands of the future, locate temporal rifts, and jump back in time to 1980s Poland, just as the catastrophe is unfolding. Once there, you must extract the Essences (souls/consciousness) of key individuals who perished, in the hope of uncovering the origins of the apocalypse.
This unique premise, blending Eastern European brutalism with cold sci-fi horror, provides a gripping narrative backdrop that sets it apart from your standard zombie fare.
Don’t Let Them Merge: The Core of the Horror
While the game takes strong visual and atmospheric cues from classics like Dead Space (a protagonist in a chunky suit, tight third-person camera), Cronos introduces its own twisted, challenging mechanics:
The Merge Mechanic: The most significant difference is the terrifying “Merge” mechanic. Killing a monster isn’t the end. Fallen enemies leave behind a grotesque, tentacled corpse, and if a living Orphan reaches it, they will Merge, evolving into a faster, tougher, and far deadlier abomination. The only way to prevent this worst-case scenario? Burn the bodies immediately. This forces players to constantly manage their limited flamethrower fuel and make split-second strategic decisions in combat.
Action-Horror Combat: Unlike some of Bloober’s earlier, more psychological games, Cronos features heavy, deliberate third-person combat. Weapons are limited, ammo is scarce, and every shot must count. You’ll need to use your transforming firearm, stomp attack, and environment to control the horrifying, ever-present threat.
The Harvester and Madness: Your essential tool is the Harvester, used to extract Essences in the past. These Essences bestow valuable perks on the Traveller but come at a price. The more Essences you carry, the more “haunted” your suit becomes, leading to unsettling visual and auditory disturbances that push the Traveller—and you—closer to the edge of madness.
An Unforgettable Horror Experience
Cronos: The New Dawn is a true love letter to classic survival horror, demanding careful resource management and white-knuckled combat. Bloober Team has delivered on an ambitious concept, crafting a desolate, beautiful, and deeply unsettling world.
Whether you’re a long-time fan of the genre or looking for a modern horror game with a truly unique twist, Cronos: The New Dawn promises an intense, strategic, and genuinely frightening journey through time and terror. Just remember one thing: Don’t let them merge!

Want to cleave through enemies with raw power? The Berserker is for you. Prefer to weave intricate spells and control the battlefield? The Wizard awaits. The key is understanding your class’s strengths and weaknesses, mastering their diverse skill sets, and knowing when to dodge, block, and unleash your most devastating attacks. The animations are fluid, the impacts are satisfying, and the sense of power you feel as you decimate hordes of foes is truly exhilarating.
Beyond the Grind: Engaging Content for Every Player

Epic Story Campaigns: Unravel the mysteries of the fragmented world as you embark on a captivating main questline filled with twists, turns, and memorable characters.
Challenging Dungeons & Raids: Gather your allies and brave perilous dungeons and multi-stage raids, testing your teamwork and coordination against formidable bosses that require precise strategies to defeat.

Join the Ranks, Embrace the Darkness

In a world saturated with action RPGs, a new title needs to offer something truly unique to stand out. Enter Cloudheim, an upcoming co-op action-adventure RPG that throws a chaotic mix of intense, physics-based combat, deep crafting, and… a fantastical shopkeeping sim… all onto the back of a giant flying turtle.
Developed by Noodle Cat Games, a studio founded by industry veterans from titles like Fortnite and Star Wars: The Old Republic, Cloudheim is shaping up to be one of the most ambitious and charmingly chaotic indie titles on the horizon. Here’s why you should keep this post-Ragnarök adventure on your radar.
The Genre-Bending Core: Fighting Game Meets Shop Sim
At first glance, Cloudheim‘s genre description reads like a mad scientist’s experiment: an Action-Adventure RPG with Crafting and a Shop Simulation. Yet, this seemingly disparate mix is precisely what gives the game its distinctive flavour.
? Master the Chaos: Physics-Driven Combat
Forget your standard hack-and-slash. Cloudheim‘s combat is inspired by the intricate juggling and combo mechanics of classic fighting games. The core philosophy is physics-driven damage.
Destruction as a Weapon: The world is fully breakable, and you’re encouraged to use it. Kick explosive barrels into the fray, collapse pillars onto enemies, or lasso a monster into a tornado for massive damage.
Creative Combos: Damage isn’t just about if you hit an enemy, but how. Knock a large enemy into a group of smaller ones and watch the impact ripple through the crowd, creating truly spectacular, high-damage combos.
Play Your Way: Whether you prefer to meticulously build a min-maxed loadout or abandon traditional attacks entirely to focus on physics-based crowd control, Cloudheim is built to support diverse playstyles.
?? The Entrepreneur in the Sky: Your Floating Fantasy Shop
Between your dangerous expeditions for loot, you’ll return to your base of operations: the Odin Shell. This isn’t just any home base; it’s a massive, ancient flying turtle carrying the fragment of a dead god’s power.
This is where the shopkeeping sim comes in. You’ll process the loot and crafting materials you’ve gathered to forge powerful new weapons and gear. Then, you’ll stock the shelves of your expanding fantasy shop and sell your wares to customers from all over the fractured realm. The goal? To rebuild society and bring harmony by reconnecting the scattered cultures in the aftermath of Ragnarök.
Key Features That Make Cloudheim Fly
Cruising the Skies on Odin Shell: Your customizable flying turtle base is your home, workshop, and shop. Expand your space, manage your stock, and unlock systems like fishing, gardening, and alchemy as you traverse the diverse floating islands.
Rise Together (1-4 Player Co-Op): Team up with up to three friends in online co-op. The game ensures seamless co-op by allowing you to share every weapon and ability you unlock, making your group stronger together without any player falling behind.
Forge Infinite Possibilities:Cloudheim aims to eliminate “the grind.” The visual crafting system lets you create powerful gear and abilities on the fly without waiting in a menu, keeping the action moving and ensuring that creating new items always feels rewarding.
An Alt-Reality Norse Mythology: Set after the catastrophic events of Ragnarök, the world of Cloudheim is a colourful, fractured landscape inspired by Norse legends, but free to take its own humorous and fantastical path.
Ready to Shape the Next World?
Cloudheim is more than just a collection of great ideas; it’s a commitment to cooperative fun, creative combat, and a colourful, inviting world. It’s a breath of fresh air for the Action RPG genre.
If you’re ready to Master the Chaos, run the most profitable (and only) shop in the sky, and rebuild a shattered world from the back of a giant flying turtle, then it’s time to keep an eye on Cloudheim.
The game, developed by Noodle Cat Games, is expected to launch on PC (Steam and Epic Games Store), PlayStation 5, and Xbox Series X|S in 2025.

The Monsterverse just got a whole lot bigger—and more strategic! If you thought the epic battles between Godzilla and Kong were confined to the big screen, think again. The new Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers game is here, thrusting players right into the heart of the action with a twist of 4X strategy.
Initially launched for mobile and recently making its way to PC, this game from Tilting Point and Hunted Cow Games takes us to the treacherous Siren Isles, a new, untamed ecosystem born from the recent seismic events in the Monsterverse. Forget being a passive observer; in this game, you are an essential part of the Monarch effort—a Titan Chaser.
What Kind of Game is This, Anyway?
Titan Chasers is primarily a 4X MMO Strategy Game with tactical turn-based RPG combat elements.
4X stands for eXplore, eXpand, eXploit, and eXterminate, which perfectly sum up the core loop. Players land on the Siren Isles, where they must:
Build Your Base: Start with an abandoned outpost and fortify it into a formidable stronghold, researching new technologies and managing resources to survive.
Recruit Your Squad: You’ll recruit a team of elite human “Chasers,” each with unique skills, to lead your expeditions.
Hunt and Battle: Lead your human squads and captured Superspecies (like Skullcrawlers and Mother Longlegs) into tactical, turn-based battles against the island’s many dangers.
Expand and Ally: Forge powerful alliances with other players in a shared online world to secure territory, expand your influence, and take on massive monster swarms.
The Monsterverse Experience
The real draw, of course, is the Monsterverse itself. While your main playable characters are the human Chasers, the titans and monsters are central to the experience:
Capture and Command: A key feature is the ability to hunt, capture, and study the lesser Superspecies of the Siren Isles. These captured monsters can then be used to fight alongside your human forces!
Colossal Threats: You’ll encounter a diverse range of terrifying creatures, from the familiar Skullcrawlers to all-new superspecies, all while trying to avoid the fury of the undisputed Kings—Godzilla and Kong themselves!
Monster-on-Monster Action: The game even features a “monster vs. monster” campaign, allowing you to directly command your favorite Superspecies in battle.
Is It Worth the Download?
Titan Chasers offers a deep, strategic experience wrapped in the Monsterverse aesthetic. Critics have praised the engaging combat and the excitement of commanding familiar Titans. The integration of base-building, territory control, and squad-based RPG elements creates a complex loop that will appeal to fans of 4X MMOs.
However, like many games in this genre, progression can feel like a bit of a grind, with resource management and time-gated mechanics being a factor. If you’re looking for an innovative, pure action game where you only play as Godzilla or Kong in a one-on-one brawler, this might not be it.
But if you enjoy the thrill of strategy, alliance building, and collecting Monsterverse lore while leading a team of survivors against overwhelming odds, then gear up. The Siren Isles are calling, and the chase is definitely on!
Godzilla x Kong: Titan Chasers is available on iOS, Android, and PC (via Steam, Epic Games Store, and Microsoft Store).
