Airborne Empire

I'd give this kind of a 'soft' thumbs up. I love the visuals and music and the general vibe of the game, but frankly I just found the combat bits irritating to the point where I stopped wanting to play. I think I may take a look at Airborne Kingdom at some point as, from what I understand from other reviews, that has no combat. I think the bulk of the game is enjoyable and probably a lot of folk would enjoy the combat just fine, just not my thing. So kind of a "yeah I'd recommend it to someone else, but not quite me", if that makes any sense.

Chill and fun gameplay. The visuals are creative and well done. My only complaint is the targeting of enemies in combat is not the best. Would like to see auto target and fire/launch options.

It was a cute little city builder with some combat that was mostly annoying. Hard to target enemies, disappearing reticles in the snow, annoying camera and controls for that. Overall I still enjoyed it though as a fan of airborn kingdom.

I will give it a positive review, but I feel the developers misread what people want and how to expand on the qualities of the first. I wanted stuff like the ability to build upwards, even just being able to build two levels up would be cool, so I can have houses and resource on one level and storage on another. Or some big motors that make me 6 times faster later in the game, or visible storage, for example having a big reservoir where I can see water being dumped into as I collect it. Or being able to chain several separate cities together like a big train. Stuff like that, things that make it more satisfying to fly around and collect and build. Imagine how cool it would be to have a separate lumber storage area attached to the city, it's own little island, and when the little planes collect lumber, they would fly up and store it, and you would see the storage swell up with lumber. And then you can upgrade the storage area with several levels, and add lifts to manage the weight, and then fly over cities and dump it into their own storage areas on the ground. And then they would use that lumber to build out the city, and you see their cities on the ground change over time as the…

I'm stuck in this. Playing on Hard. The enemies are annoying. Died 1 time so far. Quests are nice but not catchy dialogs. Fun city builder. Having physics of damage would be fun.

very relaxing and fun game.
