Cloudforge Slot Review

What is Cloudforge?

Cloudforge is Relax Gaming’s cluster-pays slot set inside a steampunk airship cockpit, played on a roughly 6x5 grid framed by riveted instrument panels and brass porthole windows. Premium symbols include a goblin villain in a purple coat and top hat at the top of the hierarchy, followed by a brass revolver, a green ray-gun, and a magnifying glass, above a base tier of steampunk spheres in copper, pink, and blue variants. A mechanical side panel displays a live multiplier figure, and a tentacled creature drifts past the hull glass in the background.

How does Cloudforge play?

Cloudforge plays as a cluster-pays game on an approximately 6x5 grid, with winning connected groups flagged in bronze frames that make the win structure legible without slowing the game down. That puts the mechanic in familiar territory alongside Play’n GO’s Reactoonz and Pragmatic Play’s Sweet Bonanza, both of which front-load return into a bonus feature while asking the base game to hold the player’s attention during the wait. Relax Gaming’s track record tilts toward high-volatility construction. The studio is better known for the Money Train series than for gentle cluster grind, and Cloudforge reads consistent with that house style: the premium tier is clearly separated from the low-value sphere symbols, suggesting meaningful variance between a base-game hit that loads on copper spheres and one that includes the goblin. The side panel’s 2.5x multiplier figure suggests some form of bet enhancement or accumulating multiplier is in play, which would put more return weight into the feature than the base game distributes on its own.

What stood out?

The goblin villain is Cloudforge’s most defensible design decision, giving a sub-genre built on genre furniture an actual personality anchor. His prominence at the top of the premium hierarchy suggests Relax built the game around him rather than dropping a character into an existing template. Steampunk slots typically rely on the setting to supply atmosphere it cannot actually generate: brass gears and rivets have no personality by themselves. The muted industrial palette of slate greys and oxidised browns keeps the symbol art readable against the cockpit backdrop, which matters on a busy cluster grid. The trade-off is that the cluster mechanic itself is genre-standard. There is nothing visible from the base game that structurally separates Cloudforge from Reactoonz or the broader cluster-pays family.

Should you play?

Maybe, if a cluster-pays slot with Relax Gaming’s high-volatility pedigree and above-average art direction suits your session. The goblin gives Cloudforge more personality than the steampunk setting earns on its own, and the bronze-frame win highlighting keeps the grid readable under volume. The cluster mechanic is well-trodden territory, and the session shape will be familiar to anyone who has spent time in this family before.

Score: 6.7 / 10
