Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players seeking direct manual piloting may find the autoshooter structure too automated
- Players wanting a quiet or low-pressure pace may find repeated enemy waves and boss fights too combat-focused
- Players looking for a story-led adventure may find the emphasis on routes, upgrades, and combat systems too mechanical
Our take on Airships: Lost Flotilla
The run structure trades direct control for planning: route choices, ship selection, doctrines, captains, and upgrades shape combat, while the autoshooter format leaves less room for manual moment-to-moment piloting.
What is Airships: Lost Flotilla?
Airships: Lost Flotilla is a steampunk autoshooter built around fighting through successive enemy waves toward a safe harbour.
Players choose among airships with different strengths, including a slow battleship, nimble copter, science vessel, megaplane, and flagship. Routes across the map affect enemy encounters, rewards, upgrades, and faction relationships. Combat includes pirates, cultists, sky monsters, and boss creatures with distinct attack patterns. Salvaged wreckage supports ship improvements, including weapons, modules, crew training, armor, and officers. Captains modify play through advantages and disadvantages, while doctrines provide different strategic benefits. Floating temples, monoliths, and ports also alter rules or abilities in parts of the map.
