Cloud Meadow

Remember the Farming Obsession

There was a time, like 10 years ago when everybody and their mother played that stupid farming game on Facebook. I think it was called FarmVille or something like that and it was quite addictive, not going to lie. With all honesty, I wouldn’t be surprised at all if there are people still playing it. I just can’t deal with checking my phone every hour or so, that was draining and it’s not like it was getting me laid or anything like that.

I don’t know what all the craze was about, but everyone was on that game. Don’t get me wrong, I start feeling like I should move out to the country and grow my own fruits and vegetables at least 3 times a day. I have no clue why, but there is something really appealing about all of that. Maybe it’s being self-sufficient, or the feeling of peace by living outside of a densely populated area, whatever it is, the feeling lingers.

Whenever I think about it though, I decide that there are too many city sluts who would fall into depression if I decided to go through with this so I remove those thoughts. Now, from what I’ve understood there are more and more games focused on building your own settlement, or farming, some of them have been around for quite a while. With that being said, I don’t often review things that do not include porn, but I like a good game.

However, someone brought up a game that has both sex and a farming/settlement feel to it. I thought it would be something like Age of Empires just with a lot of sex action in it, you know Game of Thrones style, so I decided to check it out. The game is called Cloud Meadow and I have high expectations for it. Let’s all just hope that it lives up to the hype because there are too many porn games out there that fail to do so.

A Parody to the Already Existing Games

So it seems that the game is exactly what I envisioned, I am not speaking about its quality, I will get to that, but the gameplay. It is something of a Clash of Clans/Age of Empires hybrid with a lot of sex in it. Yes, there is farming, you need food to build a settlement or all of your people would starve. Apparently, the game is all about three F’s- Farming, Fighting, and Flirting, at least this is what says on Team Nimbus’ website.

Obviously, this is the studio that developed the game and they created islands that float in the sky. There is some kind of magic, of course, and then there are humans as well as monsters which all work together. Basically, you are good at three things: farming, caring for monsters, and exploring. I guess you learn how to flirt and fuck later, but that is what you seem to be in the game. Without beating around the bush they explained a simpleton.

There is fighting too, so I guess not everyone is ready to live in peace and prosperity. This is a farming RPG game, at least that is what it seems to be. However, there is one thing that stands out pretty quickly, the game is not for everyone. Yes, there is sex, but it focuses on a specific kink. Furries assemble! Yes, there is a huge emphasis on them in the game, I guess that makes sense when humans and monsters live together on a floating island.

If you are not into this shit, this is not the game for you. If you are only into human-to-human action like me, do not even try CloudMeadow. I am being honest with you, I don’t want you bitching and complaining, especially when I made it painfully obvious what the game is all about. However, furries and those of you who are into humans fucking monsters or some sorts of beasts, you will have a great time.

Start the Game

I did some more research online and found out that the game was inspired by some Indie game called Stardew Valley. Not sure what that one is all about, but apparently it also has farming in it, but it is way more innocent. Add to the equation a feel of a Japanese Roleplayer Game and you get CloudMeadow. An interesting combination if you ask me but it is what it is. Let’s see what the game looks like when playing.

So you first choose the gender of your character, male or female. You graduated from some academy in the game and you have your first mission. There is a town called Cloverton which you need to bring back from the dead and to its old glory. Your job is to head on over there, take over and help solve the farming issues, train monsters, explore the lands, and all that good stuff. You are supposed to become one of them and help them out basically.

Did I mention that when training monsters, you are also supposed to fuck them? I didn’t? Well, now you know. The community apparently plays a huge role in the game as well and you need to fit in. When you make it to the town you get greeted by someone important, her name is Jubelle and she is in charge or something like that. She looks like a dog with titties and long hair, think Bernese Mountain Dog with huge titties.

If I am not mistaken, you get to fuck her later in the game, but that comes later. Focus, the community comes first. You will need to check out different areas and go on adventures among the floating islands. There is also a possibility of crafting your own items and enhancing them too. It seems that Team Nimbus did a really good job with the Japanese RPG part of the game. Bring Cloverton to its former glory, that is your main objective.

It Looks Really Good

When you go on Team Nimbus’ website, you will see the pictures of Cloud Meadow, but they do not do the game enough justice. You can’t judge the book by its cover, and these pics make it look like it is not all that. However, when you actually start playing it, you get the feeling of how good it really is. Fighting other enemies is the time when CouldMeadow shines because it leaves all the other farming games in the dust.

When fighting, you enter the world of turn-based RPG games. There are no glitches, lags, or anything like that meaning that the fighting action is pretty damn smooth. Each of the characters has their own abilities and it is a wide range of them depending on who you run into. Some are more of a long-range fighter, others can scratch the shit out of you with their claws while others might regenerate or boost their health.

You know how it goes, you attack with all of your characters and then the enemy goes. I am not necessarily a fan of this fighting in games, but this one I don’t mind at all, especially because fighting doesn’t take too long at all. The only thing I have noticed is that there is not enough nudity for my liking in the early game. I guess it takes some time for the game to warm up or something like that, but the game is really interesting so we can overlook that.

The gameplay is actually really good and it comes with its own soundtrack. The music can make or break a game, but in this case, it does an amazing job at creating a perfect vibe for everything that is going around. You can play it as long as you want so there is no need to hurry. Restore Cloverton to its former glory, farm, breed monsters, and all that jazz. There is actually a lot to do and enjoy in CloudMeadow so it would be a shame to just run through it.

Available on Steam

This is where the bad news comes in, the game is not free, it will cost you around $19.99 to purchase. You can get it from Steam, or you can play the demo version. We all know that the demo versions suck because just when things get good the demo is over. Also, note that getting around in CloudMeadow is kind of annoying. It is hard to explain this, but the walking part just seems fucking off, you are never sure if you are walking towards where you need to go.
