Cloud Meadow

CloudMeadow! Have you ever found yourself jerking off in the middle of the night, only to find yourself wondering why there isn’t an XXX version of the indie game Stardew Valley? If that’s what you are thinking about, first of all, go pour some fucking cold water on yourself. This is an innocent farming game, you sick bastard!
Apparently, it did not stop Team Nimbus. The result is Cloud Meadow. I have to say; it feels like they actually fucking pulled this off. But to call it merely an adult Stardew Valley clone would be undercutting what Cloud Meadow is genuinely all about.
Sure, there is farming. But you also get to explore, breed monsters, fight for your right to live in peace, and more. It’s part farming simulator, part Japanese RPG (JRPG), and 100% a unique, interesting XXX game that is unique in its own way. Don’t call it yet another farming clone. Cloud Meadow is its own game. If you love exploring towns, dungeons, growing your own crops, and living your best life as you bring the town of Cloverton to its former glory, you’re going to have a blast getting down and dirty (in more ways than one) in Cloud Meadow!
Furries, furries, everywhere
The one thing that threw me off guard was the emphasis on furries in Cloud Meadow. The site does not explicitly state that there are furries in the game. The ability to breed monsters should have been the first sign that Cloud Meadow was not going to be about humans living on a floating island in harmony together. Sure enough, that’s not what it’s about at all.There is a wide range of characters that you will come across. From a black man that may be half bunny or dressed as a bunny (I couldn’t fucking tell in the demo) to a gang of cats that attack you at the beginning of the game, you may be one of the only humans in Cloud Meadow. If you can look past the monster fucking and the nude feral cats running around on their hind legs at times, you will find plenty of NPCs that are fuckable.
Still, if you are turned off by furry porn, monster porn, or basically any genre that has humans fucking intelligent beasts of any kind, you’re probably going to be weirded the fuck out. This isn’t your vanilla XXX version of Stardew Valley. It can go places. Fortunately, you can choose the types of adult content in the game. You can choose to turn on or off things like homosexual relationships, heterosexual relationships, intersex content, and more.
Inspired by Stardew Valley, JRPGs
Cloud Meadow begins with choosing between two different characters: Evan or Eve (male or female). It’s your first mission since graduating from Union Academy. As a First Class Union Frontiersman, you have been tasked with heading to Cloverton to repair the ailing farm. You will need to plant and care for crops, train monsters (and fucking breed with them), explore the wilds of the land, and basically become a member of the community.Community is the keyword in Cloud Meadow. Like the games it inspired, there is a true sense of community from the moment that you set foot in Cloverton. This is because you are greeted by a Union Operations Director named Jubelle, who from the start is friendly as fuck. You’re probably going to get to fuck her later in the game too, so look forward to that!
But like games like Harvest Moon and again, Stardew Valley, there is more to Cloverton than meets the eye. You will have to adventure out into the wilderness across the scattered floating islands that floats above the mainland. Team Nimbus states that you may even uncover the reason why the island is floating in the first place. They claim it’s because of magic, but is that really true?
You also get to craft items and enhance different areas around the town. You can enhance monsters, the farm, or other places around Cloverton. The replayability is pretty fucking high here. You will be able to grind plenty as you try to unlock everything and max the town to bring it to its ultimate glory.
Cloud Meadow also has a story about beasts roaming in peace on the islands, only to be discovered by humans. They were then hunted, but eventually came to a truce and coexisted. Why the fuck the monsters chose to do that is beyond me. ThePornDude thinks they should have fucked them up when they had a chance, but this is a peaceful game. Like games in the genre, it’s about being chill, farming, socializing, and…well, maybe not fucking in most games. Still, it’s all about good vibes, eating carrots, and eating monster pussy - not bringing up the past!
Amazing presentation
It’s one thing to see screenshots of Cloud Meadow. But it is an entirely different thing to actually see it in action. The game is at its prettiest whenever you are battling other enemies. This is where Cloud Meadow branches off from other farming/social sims of the same ilk. The game becomes a turn-based RPG, much like Final Fantasy and games of that genre. Its JRPG legs really stretch here, and the combat is fluid as fuck.There was nothing that felt amateurish about the combat in Cloud Meadow. Each character has a few different attacks and powers that they can use. These range from claw strikes to missile shots to health boosts and more. Once you attack with a character, you go to the next one, and so on until it is the enemies’ turn. Each of them gets a turn as well.
The formula is basic turn-based RPG action, but it works. Whereas you sometimes dread fighting in these types of games, in Cloud Meadow, this is not always the case. The battles are a lot of fun and paced well.
You won’t have to spend too much time in the battles, either. You get in and out of them fairly quickly, at least in the beginning. As the difficulty scales upward as the game progresses, expect this to change.
Walking around is terrible
Cloud Meadow has a huge issue, unfortunately. It’s one that plagues the game throughout its entire course, and I’m not sure how to fix it. You see, walking around in Cloud Meadow is so goddamn unpleasant that it feels like it’s constantly in your face.At first, I thought that perhaps I was being crazy. Maybe it was a personal opinion that I didn’t like how the character felt as they walk around. I thought that it would grow on me, but it never did. Unfortunately, walking around never stops being annoying, and you never quite feel like you are walking in the direction that you intended.
I can’t think of any other way to describe how walking around feels other than you feel like you are walking sideways. The character never quite goes up, left, right, or down exactly as they should. The way that the island is shaped also plays a role in how it feels weird to walk around on the islands.
The islands that I came across in Cloud Meadow were somewhat oval-shaped. That in itself made walking around feel goofy in a sense. Still, I expected the walking to be improved and feel better. There is no other way to describe it.
That is a shame, too. The game is so fucking awesome simply from a gameplay and a design perspective that it’s ridiculous that it should be undercut by something so basic. It needs to be fixed.
Not a lot of nudity in the early game, but what a soundtrack!
If you are hoping to beat off as soon as the game begins, you are going to be disappointed. It isn’t going to happen. You won’t see a lot of nudity in the early parts of the game, minus the naked feral cat club that wants to eat your shit. Cloud Meadows is so much fun, though, that I didn’t actually mind.There is actual fucking gameplay here. Pretty damn deep gameplay at that. The debauchery does not take a back seat, but it’s not the only reason to visit the land of Cloverton, either. Play the game with the sound on too, because the soundtrack truly brings the entire world to life.
Obviously inspired by other farming sims, it does a fantastic job at recreating this kind of atmosphere and vibe. Cloud Meadows is its own game, so enjoy it for what it is. Take the time to improve the town of Cloverton, breed plenty of monsters, and turn your life into one of purpose and fruitfulness, and you will find a lot to enjoy here. Plus, you will eventually see a shit load of fucking, so look forward to that!
Suggestions:
Cloud Meadow is a farming sim, monster breeding game, and JRP all rolled into one. Games like Stardew Valley heavily inspire it, and it’s a joy to play as you unlock the story and the mysteries of Cloverton. Unfortunately, the walking needs to be optimized and reworked from the ground up. Other than that, it’s a load of fun!- Amazing atmosphere that puts you into the world of Cloverton
- Excellent turn-based combat
- A fun mixture of JRPG, farming sim, and monster breeding!
- Not that much nudity
- Walking around is god-awful
