It is a relatively fun game. It should be considered a bit casual and I don't particularly find the harder difficulties to really feel fun but as a casual game its pretty good. Hunting down the achievements is a bit troublesome and many of the quests require back and forth which with the speed of the ship even at 100% is time consuming. However its good. Ooh, and 1 big drawback is the clicking someimtes doesn't wory, especially in combat with enemy airships. That really is a big problem imo but ooh well. Still a fun game that works so yeah. Good seagull(sequel. . .yes, it was a terrible bird pun).
This is essentially the game version of Miyazaki's Castle In The Sky, which I'm assuming you've seen, since you'd have to be some sort of uncultured savage otherwise. It's a city builder, but it eliminates one of the classic constraints - you no longer have to worry about space to build. Because you're building a flying city. You have to worry about lift, balance, and pirates. Lots of steampunk bird-people air pirates. If that sentence alone doesn't sell you, we're going to have to reevaluate your status as not an uncultured savage. The world you explore, and that's the second departure from city-building, is an interesting enough place; a fallen civilization, the remnants of which are forever in need of an air-mobile platform to rebuild their world from the ashes. Or at least avoid becoming ashes. It's not too taxing as builders go, but complex enough that you've got to keep rethinking your design, putting out fires - sometimes literally - as this resource or that gets overstressed. The game itself needs to be slightly better in explaining itself - what's a minaret? Why do I need one? Where can I get one? How do I assign the relic to the minaret once I've built the damn thing? Many of these questions needed research outside the game, and the last one took a good five minutes of random button mashing before I figured it out. Graphics are good, nothing taxing, but designed well enough to be interesting without being overwhelming. No glitches as far as I can tell, sound design is good. I really like the art style, and the writing is humorous without dipping too deeply into corny. Happy with this purchase, unreserved thumbs up.
Actually, Airborne Empire is kind of "meh." It's not exactly bad, so I can't bring myself to give it a thumbs down, but it's not great. Like its predecessor Airborne Kingdom, it's a simplistic city builder where the gimmick is your city flies and moves around the map. If you've played Airborne Kingdom, this game adds combat, and it's a lot longer, but it's otherwise pretty similar. Oh, and everyone's a bird this time around. City management is even more rudimentary than Airborne Kingdom. There's very little in terms of layout concerns until the very late game, when you get Artifacts in the late game which give area of effect bonuses around them. Once you do get those Artifacts, you want to cluster all your weapons around the weapon-enhancing Artifacts, cluster your production around the production-enhancing Artifacts, and put fuel-efficiency Artifacts near your lift and propulsion systems. The economy is very simple. You're constantly scavenging food, water, and coal, which are plentiful enough that keeping topped up is easy. You're also collecting wood, ore, plants, and quartz, and converting those into iron, cloth, and glass. Again, all the materials are readily available pretty much everywhere, so it's easy to scavenge what you need. The only exception is quartz which isn't available in the starting area. Aside from running around looting resources, recruiting crew, and adding on to your flying city, you're doing fairly mindless fetch quests for the various ground based cities. Some of these are really annoying because they devolve into pixel hunts. You're searching a large target area for a tiny target. The main challenge is figuring out which hard to make out block is your goal. Combat's simple and pretty easy. There are attack aircraft, blimps, and ground defenses. You counter those with anti-aircraft towers, attack aircraft of your own, and air-to-ground cannons. The main challenge is in the early game, setting up a strong enough net of anti-air towers to take down planes coming in from any direction. In the early game you can take a fair amount of damage before your air defenses take the planes down. There are some obvious gaps in game balance. You eventually unlock a wide variety of buildings, but some are simply never worth constructing, because they're inferior in some way to buildings you unlock earlier. Your main limitation is always population, so lift and propulsion buildings which use muscle power but are less efficient than the fans and propellers which use coal are never worth building. There's always plenty of coal around. It's not terrible, but it's also pretty shallow. The endgame was very dull because I'd built enough farms, water condensers, and charcoal burners that I didn't need to worry about any upkeep except wood, and I had combat buildings that could easily handle any threat the pirates threw at me.
