Cloudbreaker

Cloudbreaker is a roguelite survivors-like in which the player explores a sky-world and defeats large groups of enemies called Biotes, which are biotech experiments left behind by past civilisations. Players descend through layers of cloud, search ruins for scrap, relics and resources, and defeat bosses to move deeper into the sky. Sky Islands contain powerups, rewards and materials.

Progression centres on the Engine Grid, an inventory management puzzle system. Defeating Biotes earns Bloil, which the ship converts into Engine Parts. Each part interacts with the grid in its own way, and parts can combine and connect to create synergies, so placement affects the resulting build. Weapons also have upgrade trees that change how they function. An Overcharge healing mechanic requires the player to play aggressively in order to recover health.

Players unlock new airships, parts and relics by completing missions. Each airship has its own Engine Grid layout, abilities and upgrade tree, allowing for different strategies and customisation. Other features include bosses and mini-bosses, an Endless Mode, and difficulty modifiers that allow stages to be replayed with greater difficulty and reward. The game supports keyboard and mouse, controllers and Steam Deck.
