Developer Noodle Cat Games has released a new trailer showcasing their upcoming Zelda-like action RPG, Cloudheim, specifically its crafting system. Don’t worry, though, you won’t be forced to use it.
The new mechanic is optional, luckily, as some people simply don’t jive with crafting mechanics.
“Crafting in Cloudheim doesn’t force players to deeply engage if they don’t want to – you can spend time finding specific materials, or just throw all your loot into stations and see what happens.” Furthermore, there’s also smelting and forging, alchemy, and cooking.
The same trailer also shows another optional mechanic, that being shopkeeping, which offers up more to it with the need to properly display items and improve a shop’s appeal by adding decorative items.
At this point, Cloudheim doesn’t have a release date, though, we can expect it sometime in 2025.
