I've had it in wishlist for years and I don't regret buying it one second. Beautiful and neat game with simple yet entertaining gameplay for a couple of days worth of content.
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.

For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 26 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 7 places towards #1, and the 2,402 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

Très bon jeu, dans la lignée du premier
Прикольная залипаловка.Бесит конечно что тебе ломают здания,а ты не помнишь какое там было,а так в целом игра хорошая
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!
Solid 20 or so hours of good vibes. Very relaxed exploration/city builder with reasonably in-depth combat. Highly recommend!
Le jeu n'a pas l'air optimisé. Il y a des fps drop de malade même avec les réglages graphiques au minimum, et j'ai acheté mon PC il y a 3 ans. C'est le seul de mes jeux qui manque autant en performances.
