Cloud Chasers - Journey of Hope

At $4 this is a good game. Perma death rogue lite, FTL-lite, prequel to the excellent Airheart. However, it has very little action (passive glider flying avoiding bad buys and their bullets) to collect water aka cash. I completed it in 4 hours and don't really feel compelled to play again soon. There are items that are worthless except for fufilling dialogue options. There are a few basic upgrades for your glider that make the water collection mini game much easier to almost trivial when the gilder is fully upgraded. Overall, it's not nearly as good as a game as Airheart the twin stick shooter. It was still fun if a bit shallow.

Cloud Chasers was an interesting little survival title in the vein of games like Flame in the Flood, where it's more of a linear experience despite the necessity of crafting and collecting stuff, exploration, etc.. It is also a kind of charming game in a way. [h1]Story[/h1] Basically, there are two worlds in this game, the one on the ground, comprised on the non elite, and one in the skies, comprised of the elite. On the ground, the world is water starved and perpetual desert, with clouds providing the primary means of collecting water, using specialized gliders to fly through clouds, gathering water as they go. As you might imagine, the elite prefer to hold on to this resource jealously, resulting in people needing to be fast and opportunistic to collect water for themselves. Water is thus also the world's accepted currency, with bartering being resolved in liters of water. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1885995464 You play as a father and daughter, trying to find their way off the desert surface and to the world of opportunity and water above.

Cloud Chasers – Journey of Hope is a neat idea, and contains some very clever parts. Unfortunately in the process of putting them together something has come unstuck, and the entire experience isn’t being delivered. There is still a lot to engage with, but it will take players with a bit of fortitude to stick it out until the end. Full review: http://pixelpopnetwork.com.au/2018/11/cloud-chasers-journey-of-hope/

Cloud Chasers - Journey of Hope is a great rogue like adventure game with RPG elements. You are travelling from town to town with your daughter trying to reach your destination. Water is your Achilles heel and you need to try and get it whenever you can. The main method is cloud harvesting with your glider that you upgrade whenever possible. Along the way you encounter various events and each leg is punctuated by a visit to a different city where you can heal and trade. If one of you dies it's all over! It really is a great game and it's been made to quite a high standard. Graphics, gameplay, and story are all terrific which bring us to the next point, the price. It's only $5! There is no excuse to miss this title. Take a look at my video to see for yourself... https://youtu.be/quvNV545IHY Thanks for watching, please like, subscribe and comment.

Cloud Chasers: Journey of Hope is a distinctive survival adventure developed and published by Blindflug Studios that combines resource management, storytelling, and social commentary into a surprisingly emotional experience. Set in a world where life above the clouds represents safety and opportunity, the game follows Francisco and his daughter Amelia as they travel across vast deserts in pursuit of a better future. While the premise appears simple on the surface, the journey quickly becomes a compelling tale about endurance, sacrifice, and the challenges faced by those searching for hope in an unforgiving world. The game's core gameplay revolves around survival. Players must carefully manage water, food, equipment, and money while moving from one settlement to another. Water serves as the most critical resource, and obtaining it is where the game introduces one of its most memorable mechanics. Francisco pilots a glider into the skies to collect water droplets while avoiding hazards and hostile drones. These sequences add a layer of action and skill to the experience, preventing the game from becoming purely a management simulator. Every successful collection run feels meaningful …

Yeah, don't let the cute graphics fool you. This is basically a post-apocalyptic survival simulator, a lighter version of "The Road" story, including very real possibility of your cartoon father and daughter dying of thirst in the slaver-infested desert. The stories are heavy, typical post-apo struggles, often bringing people to their worst. UI is original and nice. Gameplay is unforgiving. It's a good game, but it'll make you feel bad.
