The sky is much like the ocean in many ways: beautiful, pristine blue one minute, stormy and black the next. But you’ll need much more than just luck and fair weather on your side to survive the skies in developer Ballast Games’ new self-published roguelite adventure, Cloudbreaker.

Strategy is the name of the game here, and your airship is your weapon against hordes of biomechanical monsters called the Biotic. Blending inventory management with bullet heaven, the arsenal you choose to build makes all the difference. Questing for the Bloil Crystal in order to protect the land of Haven is your goal, and the configurations your vessel can take are virtually endless.

Because of this, every run can be entirely different. Carefully selecting engine parts and relics and slotting them into your Engine Grid to create the ideal setup is just the beginning. Each new playthrough brings new possibilities, and experimentation is encouraged!

Players can look forward to the following in Cloudbreaker:

• Explore & Survive: Descend through a dangerous sky-world filled with ruins, resources, and waves of enemies as you push deeper into the clouds.
• Engine Grid System: Upgrade your ship using an inventory management puzzle system where Engine Part placement determines your power and build.
• Build Synergies: Combine unique Engine Parts and relics to create powerful interactions that evolve your strategy every run.
• Unlockable Airships: Expand your fleet with ships that feature distinct Engine Grid layouts and abilities, supporting varied playstyles.
• Deep Customization: Upgrade ships and weapons through dedicated upgrade trees to tailor each run to your preferred strategy.
• Boss Battles: Take on bosses and mini bosses that test your build and execution.
• Full Controller Support: Play with Keyboard + Mouse or full Controller support.
