Airship: Kingdoms Adrift

NEED TO KNOW INFO UPFRONT: If you are looking for an airship themed game, then this is one you want to consider for your library. PROS: Cool ship designs Workshop access for mods Combat is not bad, fairly straightforward Love the design concepts to customize your ship, a bit simple though Fairly powerful weapons and ships Interesting characters and side plots CONS: QOL issues, you are in the ship the whole time interacting with just menus Inventory system leaves a little bit to be desired The automation for your ships to deliver items w/o you piloting them is a bit janky OVERALL: I love airships, always have, and this was the closest game I was able to find as of this review to sort of tickle that interest, as most everything else is either 2d or very primitive. Consider this one for your library.

The game has trash mechanics that are all about meta building and unless you know what load out to use you will fail even on the easiest difficulty. The game doesn't explain what's best and much of the calculation is obscured. Without a guide it's not possible to get very far. Other than that, it's a typical linear game about resource building and ship fleet management. That said, I don't recommend it if you're looking for something easy and fun to play. Unless you don't mind cheating to progress because even on the easiest setting you'll get steam rolled if you don't have the right ships and loadout.

This game offers an impressive level of creativity with its ship building system, letting you design and customize airships in meaningful ways. The world is vast and rewarding to explore, filled with trade routes, hidden locations, and opportunities for adventure. Combined with solid trading and combat mechanics, Airship: Kingdoms Adrift delivers a unique and immersive steampunk experience that fans of exploration and strategy will appreciate.

I saw it on sale, so I decided to give it a try. After playing for about 1-2 hours, the game is easy to pick up, and managing airships and resources is fun. There’s a lot to do, but the early stages feel slow, and progress takes time. If you enjoy strategy and exploration, it should get more enjoyable as you advance.

This RPG is very enjoyable, with an engaging storyline. I really like that you can customize your ship and take on different roles — for example, becoming a thief who steals from merchants, or sailing out to fight pirates. The auto-travel and time acceleration systems are also excellent, making long-distance journeys much faster and more convenient.

I really enjoy playing this game. The game world feels big and alive, and flying my airship around the sky is a lot of fun. I like how I can trade, fight, and explore at my own pace. The battles are exciting but not too hard to learn, and building up my ship makes me feel proud of my progress. The graphics are beautiful, especially the sky and ship designs, and the music fits the atmosphere really well. It feels relaxing at times but also adventurous when I get into fights or discover new places. I think the game has a lot of potential, and I’m happy to see updates and improvements. If you enjoy exploring, trading, and airships, this is a game worth trying.

Got this on sale and gave it a try. The visuals are gorgeous and make the world feel alive. The first hour was a little confusing since there are many systems to learn, but once you understand how airship management and customization work, it becomes really fun. The pace is on the slower side, especially with traveling between places, but if you enjoy strategy and exploration, this game has a lot to offer and can easily make you lose track of time.

Still enjoyable game. But cannot set produce target or route warehouse target make automation a real pain. Goods just overflow the warehouse and block the chain of production.

Still pretty early in the game (playtime has a lot of idling on second screen in it) but I'm really enjoying it so far. The overall concept and vibe is wonderful, I love being able to slot individual components and armor and stuff on my ship and seeing those same individual components get damaged and affect the ship as they get removed or destroyed. Particular placement is rather important, as I learned on one of my first attempts at customizing a ship where I had too little armor and got quickly destroyed despite tons of weapons because all my weapons were exposed and got destroyed almost instantly. The game has some wildly varying QoL. There are some features that are really cool like being able to wishlist items so you can easily remind yourself how many you want to get and highlighting them in shops, being able to search shops for what items they have, etc. You can buy items from other cities that you've been to and have them stored in your local warehouse there, you can s...

Airships do TRA-TA-TA-TA! Just awesome
