Very cozy city builder. Great mix of adventure and city management. Scratches an itch to rebuild civilization

以为目前的内容只到沙漠探索完就结束了，吓了我一跳，因为弹出已经攻略完目前所有的空贼。但好奇心驱使之下，去探索了地图的边角，没想到还有目前不在主线中的热带雨林（制作组后来更新的地图），真是太惊喜了。而且其战斗强度不是前三个大陆能够比拟的，全程战斗爽，最好发育好后才去。
玩过前作，这作自信一周目开启困难难度，前期难受的地方是空贼的骚扰，攻击手段也不多。资源点除了水和森林，一般不会集中太多在一块儿。但也可能考量到添加了空贼不时骚扰的部分，除非是小岛，一般的资源都不难找。每次攻略了一处空贼的营地都有一定的补给，每次自己要死了，最后又活了，目前只尝试一次没注意煤炭见底，打完空贼后自己也gg了。其它时候难度还算平衡。宣塔还能增加防御力，攻防系统还算完善？但还需要调整更多，主要是开局是真的难受。
前作我只能说是小品基建，内容不多。但这作是真的玩爽了。当然，还有更多能改进的地方。期待后续更新~希望有更多的战略攻防玩法，我喜欢自动化战斗，希望制作组后期能添加更多有关自动战斗的蓝图哈哈

Норм игра почилить, полетать. стройка не сложная, враги не шибко сильные, просто любуешься пейзажами и ползаешь по карте пылесося ресурсы и тыкая на всё подряд

Als "standalone" Spiel kann ich es sehr empfehlen. Macht Spaß, ist ausgeglichen, nicht zu schwer zu erlernen. Story macht spaß. kleine versteckte andeutungen in den Dialogen machen spaß. Allerdings, wenn man den vorgänger gespielt hat wirkt es eher als Kopie mit nur wenigen anpassungen im Gameplay. Fazit, gern spielen, zu empfehlen.

Airborne Empire, developed by The Wandering Band LLC and published by Stray Fawn Publishing alongside The Wandering Band LLC, is an ambitious hybrid of city-building simulation and open-world RPG exploration. Serving as a spiritual successor to Airborne Kingdom, it expands the airborne city concept into a more dynamic, conflict-driven world. Instead of managing a stationary settlement, players are tasked with constructing and sustaining a fully mobile metropolis that sails across the skies, interacting with the lands and factions below.

At the heart of the experience is the physics-based city-building system. Every structure added to your airborne settlement contributes weight, and lift must be carefully balanced through propellers, balloons, and other engineering solutions. Poor planning can destabilize the city, causing it to tilt or struggle to stay airborne. This constant interplay between expansion and structural equilibrium adds a layer of mechanical depth absent in traditional city builders. Players must think in three dimensions, ensuring that residential districts, industrial facilities, and defensive installations are distributed in ways that maintain both efficiency and aeronautical stability.

Exploration significantly broadens the gameplay loop. Rather than remaining confined to a single map, the flying city traverses an open world dotted with kingdoms, ruins, and settlements. Each location offers resources, trade opportunities, and narrative-driven quests. Through dialogue interactions and mission chains, players uncover political tensions, forge alliances, and gradually influence the fate of the world below. This RPG layer gives context to the city-building mechanics, transforming what could be a purely systemic experience into a narrative journey shaped by player decisions.

Combat and defense introduce additional complexity. As the empire grows, it attracts hostile sky pirates and other airborne threats. Players must research and construct defensive towers, cannons, and protective systems to safeguard citizens and infrastructure. Encounters are not overly tactical in a micro-management sense, but they require preparation and foresight. Neglecting defenses can lead to damage that disrupts essential services and lowers morale. The presence of conflict ensures that expansion carries tangible risk, reinforcing strategic decision-making.

Citizen management remains a central pillar of gameplay. Residents have needs related to housing, food supply, safety, and morale. Fulfilling these requirements maintains productivity and stability, while neglect can trigger unrest or inefficiency. Balancing industrial output with quality-of-life improvements becomes a constant challenge, particularly as the population grows. Environmental factors such as fires, structural strain, or resource shortages can cascade into broader crises if not addressed promptly. These interconnected systems create emergent narratives driven by player management choices.

Visually, the game adopts a clean, stylized low-poly aesthetic. Landscapes below shift between deserts, forests, and mountainous regions, while the airborne city itself evolves into a complex silhouette of interconnected buildings and propulsion systems. Weather effects and atmospheric lighting enhance immersion without overwhelming clarity. The art direction prioritizes readability, ensuring that structural imbalances and citizen activity remain easy to monitor even as the city expands.

Despite its depth, the game remains approachable. Tutorials gradually introduce mechanics, and progression systems unlock advanced technologies at a measured pace. As an evolving title, certain aspects—such as quest variety or combat diversity—may benefit from further expansion. However, the core loop of build, explore, defend, and expand already demonstrates strong cohesion. The integration of physics-based construction with open-world storytelling distinguishes it within the city-building genre.

Ultimately, it stands as a compelling fusion of simulation and adventure. Its airborne premise transforms familiar city management systems into something spatially dynamic and narratively engaging. By combining structural engineering challenges with exploration and faction-driven storytelling, it offers a layered experience that rewards both strategic planning and curiosity. For players drawn to creative construction, systemic depth, and world exploration, it represents a distinctive and ambitious step forward in the evolution of city-building games.

Rating: 9/10

前作就挺不错，这作是威力加强版，增添了战斗系统。不过说真的战斗体验不咋地，烦大于爽，可能需要加一个增加建筑血量的科技。
任务还是那么费眼睛。有一个找被掉宝国王的任务有bug，如果无法推进就S/L。
