Our take on Stratos
Rather than centering on one activity, this simulation combines ship building, island travel, trade, resource gathering, citizen care, and faction combat. Its structure moves between managing a flying home and taking action beyond it.
What is Stratos?
This casual simulation game takes place in the sky.
Build and expand a flying ship by adding rooms, sections, and props, then travel to different islands. Barter with merchants for goods and grow or harvest resources for the ship and its crew. Manage citizens’ well-being, including their health and happiness. Combat involves assembling a group of heroes to attack different factions, then equipping them with weapons, armour, and skills. The gameplay combines ship construction, island travel, trading, resource gathering, citizen care, and faction battles.
