Our take on Airborne Kingdom
The pitch emphasizes exploration and helping settlements, but the stated core loop also involves sustained city management: meeting residents' needs, gathering and processing resources, and balancing the demands of flight.
What is Airborne Kingdom?
Build a floating city from a small settlement into a large metropolis.
Construct housing and services, research technologies, gather resources, and provide citizens with food, medicine, and other comforts. Manage the city's flight by balancing lift and mass, propulsion and air drag, and its tilt. Explore a randomized world for materials, temples, ruins, and deserted cities, then process resources to expand the city. Complete quests for ground kingdoms to gain their allegiance and extend the city's influence, while uncovering the history of the first Airborne Kingdom. Creative Mode removes resource limits and time pressure. The game also includes New Game Plus and Hard Mode as previously released DLC content.
