- Players who want a purely solo experience may not need the split-screen option.
Our take on Pilam Sky
Mission choices create a defense trade-off: building a tower reduces pirate strength in one kingdom, while leaving other areas open to attack.
What is Pilam Sky?
Pilam Sky combines real-time balloon combat with campaign-level mission planning.
Choose a pilot from one of three nations, then manage an airship base whose rooms can be developed with battle earnings. A global map presents missions, timers, and pirate strength across the kingdoms; the order of missions matters because defenses in one area can leave another open to attack. In battles, move the balloon, use close- and long-range weapons, and collect coins.
Other missions involve constructing defensive towers or firing a tower cannon at approaching pirates. The campaign ends with a fight at the pirates’ base, unlocked by reaching level 10 in the intelligence room or building 6 towers. The stated campaign duration is 3–5 hours, and two players can play together in split screen.
