Airborne Empire

This is a great city/base builder game with the added fun and complication of flying and pirates. Very enjoyable!

3 out of 5 stars. It's not bad. It's just very shallow. There's not much of a story but there are quests to do. The actually city building is strange. You are stuck using coal for most of the game, then you get alternate propulsion, like lift balloons, late in the game and have to rearrange your city. TL;DR - If you really like city builders, buy it on sale.

This is a great game for chilling and exploring at your own pace. Nothing big about the story so far, but the interaction with characters is amusing.

Absolute gem of a game. Very chill and relaxing, wonderful musical composition. I wish the combat and overall world had a bit more going on in terms of complexity, but it's all well rounded enough to make it work. The world needs more games like this and certainly more airship themed games!

I will give it a positive review, but I feel the developers misread what people want and how to expand on the qualities of the first. I wanted stuff like the ability to build upwards, even just being able to build two levels up would be cool, so I can have houses and resource on one level and storage on another. Or some big motors that make me 6 times faster later in the game, or visible storage, for example having a big reservoir where I can see water being dumped into as I collect it. Or being able to chain several separate cities together like a big train. Stuff like that, things that make it more satisfying to fly around and collect and build. Imagine how cool it would be to have a separate lumber storage area attached to the city, it's own little island, and when the little planes collect lumber, they would fly up and store it, and you would see the storage swell up with lumber. And then you can upgrade the storage area with several levels, and add lifts to manage the weight, and then fly over cities and dump it into their own storage areas on the ground. And then they would use that lumber to build out the city, and you see their cities on the ground change over time as they expand. Stuff like that is what I want, that's the direction I hoped for. I want to have my own city on the ground that I dump resources into and it grows. Instead they focus on combat, which I don't really feel add that much to the game, I don't dislike it, but I don't like it either. It's a little simplistic, it is fun to land a cannonball on something on the ground, but it's easy and I never felt in danger, and to make the combat feel dangerous and add more difficulty would probably make it annoying. I wish they just kept it peaceful and serene. Like the first, it also has problems with the mid and late game, at some point you have enough storage and people where you don't need to consider much. Finding resources is easy, it's absolutely everywhere, there are buildings like farms and water collectors that are supposed to help ease the resource demand, but if you have 200 storage of food or water, you don't need it. The need and demand goes away as you get deeper into the game, and the game starts to feel like a routine. That said, I still like it. I like seeing the planes collect resources, I like flying around to new places, and I love the music, even if it needed a few more tracks.
