Airborne Empire

Still has its Charm, but I wish there are more Secret to explore, plus a way to 'Fast Travel' somehow. At the End Game I usually just wait for the City to get where I want it to go (I'm already at 100% Propulsion with 2 Jet Engines taking turn and Max Game Speed)

원래 리뷰를 진짜 안다는데 그냥 이 게임이 너무 맘에 들어서 올려봄. 사실 내 개인적인 취향이 많이 들어가 있긴하지만 그래도 평가를 해보자면 일단 공중에서 도시를 건설한다는 것이 너무 맘에들고, 거의 도시를 무한대로 확장시키고 내 맘대로 꾸민다는게 맘에 듦 솔직히 노가다도 있고 서브 퀘가 좀 귀찮다는 것도 있지만 그래도 나무위키나 유튜브 찾아보면 된다고 생각함 그리고 뭔가 공중에서 해적과 싸운다는게 좀 낭만 있는것 같음 그리고 아직 부족한 점도 많지만 앞으로의 업뎃으로 고쳐질거라고 생각함 그래서 만약에 공중도시에 대한 낭만이 있다거나 좀 꾸민다는걸 좋아 하거나 싸우는걸 좋아하면 한번쯤은 즐길수 있지 않을까 라는 생각이 들음 그리고 난 반값에 사서 더 야르한 부분임

A city builder where the city flies.... Add a cute art style and I get very good comfy vibes. Just a fun, chill game

A mix of building strategy with exploration and combat. The game is heavily stylized, with map reminiscent of a tabletop game. Characters are antropomorphic birds, displayed as tiny simplified figures in the world and quirky 2D art in dialogues. The music is meditative, staying in the background. There is no voice acting, only occational bird screech. The gameplay is a modified town builder. Production chains are very short and basic, most of the game is based on finding and management of resources, not on industrial production. There is a morale and health mechanic to consider. Since the city is flying, managing lift, propulsion and balance adds another layer, replacing mechanics from more traditional town builders. There is a lot of exploration and resource gathering to keep the city going. There are also quests, both the main story and optional side quests. These yield money and blueprints for new buildings, that can be further researched and upgraded. There are assault and defence building, since this time there is a combat and siege against pirate bases. The story does not follow from the more spiritual predecessor (Airborne Kingdom). It is instead placed in a new lighthearted world inhabited by antropomorphic birds. It is consistently positive with a fair bit of humor.

I'd give this kind of a 'soft' thumbs up. I love the visuals and music and the general vibe of the game, but frankly I just found the combat bits irritating to the point where I stopped wanting to play. I think I may take a look at Airborne Kingdom at some point as, from what I understand from other reviews, that has no combat. I think the bulk of the game is enjoyable and probably a lot of folk would enjoy the combat just fine, just not my thing. So kind of a "yeah I'd recommend it to someone else, but not quite me", if that makes any sense.

Игра на 7 из 10. Очень хороший градостроительный симулятор с элементами исследования и казуальной стратегии. Что не понравилось: Сюжетная и диалоговая составляющая реализована слабо. Первое время читал эти диалоги, но всё сводится к пойди-убей-восстанови-вернись. Сюжет о возрождении летающей империи не реализует свой потенциал. Что понравилось: Механики градостроения, ресурс менеджмента, исследование (хотя в исследовании хотелось бы больше разнообразия после середины игры, а торговля ужасно примитивная). Если любите градостроительные игры и хотите почувствовать новый опыт, то однозначно берите, игра своих денег стоит.

A fun builder game. Really enjoy designing the city. Need to add a "dissemble all" button though. Moving and rebuilding stuff is tedious at best, and deleting everything manually to rebuild is a chore. Overall it's a fun game to play. Completed all completable modes. The dye collection achievement seems to have issues as well, as it sometimes doesn't register that you've collected it. It's been suggested that you have to click on the dye building a couple times to get it to register, so it's not a difficult issue. Just sucks at the end trying to figure out which one didn't register. I do recommend the game, the balance mechanic is neat, and really easy to manage. End game playing leaves a little bit to be desired though. Mostly just collect people, and constantly redesign your city to fit all those people.
