Aloft is a new cooperative survival game on Steam, in which you control a flying island and make it your new home.
What kind of game is it? Aloft is a sandbox survival game that you can also play online in co-op with up to 8 players.
The game is set to be released on Steam in 2024, where you can already try the demo. An exact release date and price have not yet been determined.
What to expect in the demo is shown in the current trailer we’ve embedded here for you:
What to expect: In Aloft, you must survive on flying islands that orbit a perpetual storm. To do this, you make one of these islands your new home and use it as an airship to explore this new world.
As the trailer shows, you can design your island in a very individual way. In an editor, you have the opportunity to place new trees, platforms, and rocks on your island. On your island, you can build houses, plant vegetables, and keep animals – which you can even cuddle.
You will gather resources from surrounding islands that you fly to with your own. There you will find natural resources, new technologies, equipment upgrades, and secrets from long-forgotten ruins.
If you want to move around a bit more nimbly than your flying home allows, you can launch yourself into the air with a glider.
During your exploration, you will encounter many different islands, some of which are infested with nasty mushrooms. The mushrooms destroy the native plants and animals.
Your task will be to fight them off. And as the trailer shows, they do not take this lying down. In addition to exploding mushrooms that release toxic gases, small mushroom monsters will also appear that you must confront in battle.
Free the islands from the nasty mushrooms to secure new species of animals and resources.
