Even though there isn't much difference from the first game (Airborne Kingdom), I still Recommend it if you're a fan of the first one. If you haven't played the first one, and/or you enjoy relaxing city builders without combat just grab the first one for cheaper. It has better music as well. Not that the combat is difficult in any way. More like a wave of mosquitos attacking your kingdom. This one does have actual characters with some story so this one is slightly better in a different way. But i wouldn't call this one part 2 exactly, more like a huge update from the first.

Vast improvement on the second game. Definitely worth grabbing and playing hours of. Only gripe is they need to let you know one of the guns fires across the city, not below like the other ones. RIP the turret dwellers on that first shot.

Most deffinitely. However please go in this new adventure that this aerial city builder is, with the correct mindset. When quests are pending, do ONLY WHAT IS ASKED OF YOU, NO MORE. You 'll ruin the game if you do. For example, you need to destroy a pirate outpost. En route there you spot a prison so you destroy it. You get nothing out of it, because the next quest you 'd be getting would be a "break 'em out of jail" mission. This would have given you something. Now you 'll get nothing. Not even the quest will be present for you to try, since you have already destroyed said prison. This is an incredible game, however to enjoy it fully, DO ONLY WHAT IS ASKED OF YOU, NO MORE. Other than that, this is an incredible game. Sky cities in deed. Or cities floating on air NOT on water. That would be hyperdimension neptunia city builder. This is AIrborne Empire.

This game has an adorable aesthetic and a cozy feel to it. It’s a refreshing break from other RTS games, playing as/with a flying city that must balance its growth both regarding resource consumption as well as physcial balance. That all characters are different birds is also really charming. The only thing that became annoying was that the dialogs are all in single sentences (if at all) so you have to click a lot to get enough to read through. Really enjoyed the game, and looking forward to more content/updates.
