Description

CloudCanards is an action rpg about pulling off zany raids with your badass guild. Explore the world of Nebulia as you bicker with thousands of other guild members to reach the top of the Exp leaderboards. Stand up as a leader and direct your once amazing guild Twilight Marauders™ back out of its midlife crisis. Do you have what it takes to come out a nimble, badass, charismatic billower?
