Critic Reviews
- Addicting, challenging, flat out fun and often a social riot, Cloudberry Kingdom is an experience unlike anything before it. If you’ve been platforming since the days of the original Super Mario Bros. on the NES, and want to put your veteran skills to the test, this is your game. While early stages are accessible to all skill levels, those willing to brave the masochistic difficulties of the later levels will assuredly get the most of out of this one.
Dave Letcavage · Aug 31, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - It’s not perfect, though it’s certainly good fun. Procedural level generation wasn’t quite so prevalent last year, but this is the first true platformer to make it work. Every level is something different, and even though they tend towards being beatable by rushing straight forward with slight variations on speed and careful control of jump height, you’re still making these decisions on the fly. Learning Cloudberry Kingdom means learning to adapt to endless challenge, and it can be hard to put down when the next level could be just about anything.
James · Aug 12, 2013 Reviewed on X360Read full review - With a better art style and a stronger story mode, Cloudberry Kingdom could've been an instant must-have for all platforming fans; as it stands, the game is still an addictive experience despite its flaws. The randomly generated levels are consistently fun, offering a substantial challenge without ever becoming overly frustrating, and the game’s Arcade mode features plenty of satisfying gameplay options for players of all skill levels to enjoy.
Kevin Knezevic · Aug 05, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Cloudberry Kingdom is a strong effort, but the lack of overall polish is impossible to overlook. I can't say I've ever played a platformer that uses procedural generation in quite this way before, and I'd love to see the concept explored further. Even if certain elements of the game are inconsistent, the platforming itself feels good for the most part and the challenge presented is as formidable as advertised. That counts for a lot.
Jordan Devore · Aug 05, 2013 Reviewed on PC, PS3Read full review - The sheer lack of variety, despite two stages never being the same ever thanks to the brilliantly designed, random level-generating engine that Pwnee Studios has designed, leaves Cloudberry Kingdom feeling thin on content. A Free Play mode where you set the challenge and an Arcade Mode don’t amount to enough reason to keep playing after you’ve seen a hundred or so levels. And that difficulty, that frustration, means you may not want to even if there was more to do.
Anthony Severino · Aug 05, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - All of the loathing I feel cannot blind me to what is an excellent game which works not only with itself, but perfectly with its intended audience. Cloudberry Kingdom only loses points due to a lackluster music selection, some shakiness issues with its cutscenes, and the reason a game with the ability to connect with both itself and player so well is ultimately going to be limited to so few people.
Russell Ritchey · Aug 05, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Cloudberry Kingdom does check all the boxes of what to have in a platforming game, and in many areas, offers a lot more. It's just that the whole doesn't feel like it equals the sum of its parts. For whatever reason, it never really comes together into the cohesive experience that some of the games it tries to emulate, do.
Bill Hess · Aug 05, 2013 Reviewed on PC, PS3, X360, Wii URead full review - A colourful, addictive, and satisfying platformer, Cloudberry Kingdom is fantastic fun, and only gets more enjoyable when friends are added to the mix. Whether you enjoy quick stints of responsive platforming, or you’re determined to top the competitive online leaderboards, this endless supply of randomly generated content delivers plenty of difficult but delicious value.
Robert Ramsey · Jul 30, 2013 Reviewed on PS3Read full review - Creative features inspired by classic influences help foster a hyper-addictive experience and thwart potential repetitiveness. While its technically impressive level generator ultimately doesn’t add a great deal, the intense, straight-ahead gameplay demands to be played and replayed for hours on end. It’s a shame the developers couldn’t find a unique and distinctive voice for Cloudberry.
Scott Butterworth · Jul 30, 2013 Reviewed on PS3, Wii URead full review - The game is both exciting and terrifying in equal measure, with a "just one more go" feel that makes it incredibly hard to tear yourself away. Plus, with an ever-changing set of levels, it has a replay value that few in the genre can match. Sure, Cloudberry Kingdom doesn't look like much, and there are moments when you'll want to tear your hair out in frustration, but that warm, fuzzy feeling of satisfaction and reward makes putting up with that frustration more than worth it.

Cloudberry Kingdom is an innovative and endlessly challenging platformer that adapts to your skill level. Thanks to a dynamic AI system designed around the creator's study of platforming games -- flow, spacing, rhythm, player expectation -- Cloudberry can provide a very simple and enjoyable platforming experience for inexperienced players or can ratchet up the challenge to insane (but always beatable) levels of hair-raising, face-melting difficulty.
