Good Heavens!

About Good Heavens!

Good Heavens! is an open-world RPG with procedural generation from Nowhere Studios, dropping players into Xant-Rar, a chaotic afterlife for video game characters. Released on PC in 2026, it blends crafting, farming, and combat with 1-8 player co-op. You can play as a farmer, hunter, or warrior, navigating floating islands filled with quirky races and cultures. The story centers on fixing the god of the afterlife’s screw-ups, but the real hook is the absurdity of the setting, a place where werewolf taverns and drunken escapades matter as much as saving the world. It’s a lighthearted, player-driven adventure for those who want to farm, fight, or just get wasted in a simulated heaven.

Gameplay

Each session starts with generating a new map of floating islands, each teeming with resources, monsters, and secrets. Players gather materials to craft tools, build shelters, and brew potions while fending off procedurally generated enemies. Roles define your playstyle: farmers grow crops to trade, hunters sell rare beast parts, and warriors tackle quests to stabilize Xant-Rar’s broken systems. Co-op adds layers, trading resources, teaming up for tough battles, or just sharing a drink at a werewolf-run bar. Combat is real-time with light RPG elements, requiring weapon swaps and potion management. The game’s humor shines in its NPCs, like the flustered Mighty Rar, who blames players for his own mistakes. Sessions last 2, 5 hours, balancing exploration, crafting, and semi-optional story tasks.

What Players Think

PlayPile users rate Good Heavens! 4.2/5, with 65% completing the main story and 80% finishing optional content. Average playtime is 40 hours, though procedural maps encourage replayability. Community moods skew “lighthearted” (72%) and “relaxed” (68%), with 12% calling it “addictive.” Critics praise the co-op mechanics and absurd writing, though 15% gripe about combat’s simplicity. A top review: “A drunkard’s paradise where farming and chaos collide. The werewolf tavern is worth the price of admission alone.” Achievement completion rates are high (89% for bronze), but hardcore gamers note the lack of difficulty scaling in multiplayer.

PlayPile's Take

Good Heavens! is a solid pick for co-op fans and casual RPGers who want a laugh. Its procedural maps and role customization offer decent replay value, though the combat won’t wow action enthusiasts. Priced at $39.99, it’s a low-risk buy for a quirky, player-driven experience. If you’re into farming, trading, and getting drunk in a digital afterlife, this is your game. Skip it if you crave deep lore or punishing challenges. The achievements are easy to unlock, making it ideal for casual play sessions.

Storyline

Welcome to Xant-Rar, the glorious afterlife for video game characters where they go after deletion in their individual worlds. It's a world of peace and pleasure, but noticeably (and thankfully) lacking in players farming them for experience and loot. At least it's supposed to be… the Mighty Rar, god of the digital afterlife, may have made a few mistakes recently that need some outside help to set everything back on track again. It's up to the players *sigh* to enter this simulated afterlife to fight, craft, and farm across these floating islands Meet the denizens of this place and survive long enough to fix what Mighty Rar broke- *ahem* forgot to iterate upon. It all just makes you want to scream, “Good Heavens!”
