Indie developer Naughty Clogs is set to launch their new cooperative survival roguelike, Skyward Extraction, in Early Access on Steam on September 24th, 2024.
Ahead of the launch, players can try out the free demo, giving them a chance to experience the game’s high-flying, storm-ravaged world of Relencost.
A Skyward Adventure

Set in the post-apocalyptic world of Relencost, Skyward Extraction throws players into a land where survivors must live above the clouds, escaping the uninhabitable surface.
The looming danger of The Stormwall—an unpredictable, deadly storm—forces only the bravest adventurers to venture into its depths in search of loot and pre-war relics.
With roguelike mechanics and survival gameplay, Skyward Extraction invites players to join teams to face these difficult challenges. The deeper you dive into The Stormwall, the greater the risks—and the rewards.
Cooperative Extraction Gameplay

In Skyward Extraction, teamwork is vital. Players walk in their airship through the chaotic skies, exploring hidden dungeons, retrieving valuable resources, and escaping before the storm closes in.
The game features a range of customizable gear to improve your chances of survival. From the Grapple Pack for long-range climbs to the Glider Pack for crossing wide gaps, the game’s equipment upgrades are essential for deeper exploration.
As the storm grows more volatile, so do the enemies. Players must contend with deadly entities, including slimes, goblins, automatons, and Stormbeasts that patrol the skies, ready to tear apart your ship if you don’t act fast.
Key Features of Skyward Extraction
- Procedurally Generated Maps: Each map, dungeon, and event is randomly generated, ensuring no two experiences are identical. Players will face a diverse array of environments and creatures, from burrowing scorpions to high-flying Stormbeasts.
- Cooperative Gameplay: Use voice proximity chat to coordinate with your teammates as you explore the storm’s depths, retrieve loot, and escape safely.
- Permanent Character Progression: As you progress through each run, build up your character’s stats and abilities, unlocking permanent enhancements that carry over into future runs.
- Equipment Enhancements: Customize your gear with upgrades, such as extended range for the grappling hook or reduced stamina consumption for the glider, ensuring your equipment is up to the task.
Prepare for the Storm

As the Early Access launch approaches, Skyward Extraction promises a multiplayer experience full of dynamic challenges.
With procedurally generated maps and permanent progression, no two runs will be the same. Players can try out the free demo on Steam now, and wishlist the game to receive updates on its full release.
