Airborne Kingdom | Review in 3 Minutes

[@dasvolk]

I no-lifed this game yesterday and really enjoyed it. I wish it had an endless mode and a little more variety of tech. Late game, I basically had no use for most materials and was just floating around. I didn't see a lot of replayablity in it because of the story and sort of shallow building. The art style and music are wonderful. There was also a lack of features. I'd've liked some simple ones like the ability to disable buildings I don't actively need to free up people, rather than having to demolish it and rebuild it when I need it. Also, one word: railings. Haha. My outboard pathways always made me uneasy, watching people walk around with no railing between them and terminal velocity death. There was a lot of tech that I basically never touched.

I was the same way, grabbed Airborne Kingdom because I loved the look and after download it lasted 2 solid gaming sessions as I couldn't put it down. I was going to argue about the tech but thinking about it, half of the propulsion and lift options were untouched and it wasn't until the very end when I attempted to optimize the citizens assigned to desires and the space in my residential area that I even played around with certain higher tech desires. I guess it's the zen nature of the game that hits it here as it doesn't really force efficiency so why fix what's not broken?

[@HolyDiver20]

The concept reminds me of an old PC game I used to play in the late 90's called Stratosphere. I haven't thought about it in like 20 years so this video brought me back to when I was a wee lad. Will be checking this game out for sure.

[@christianschweda2530]

Same here, but I couldn't recall the name of it - thanks. I remember ramming other flying islands with spikes built at the edge of my island.

[@dumdidumdumification]

Yesss that game was buggy but tons of fun

[@soylencer]

That's the same reason I was excited about this. Although there's no combat in this one -- you may want to check out Galaxy Run if you want to build and optimize a ship, though that's not exactly the same vibe as Stratosphere was.

[@Doogrin]

This game is pretty addicting. I've got about half of the kingdoms

[@dirtpipedan]

Oh ok

[@Davidonabus]

A "Sky City Builder". You said this like it's a genre? Are there others?

[@Hellsgameroom]

Like 2 others but thier name escapes me

[@TotalRookie_LV]

Played for the first time yesterday. Love it so far. Two put of twelve ground kingdoms needed befriended so far. And yes, it doesn't seem to be challenging, even I likely will manage it, despite the fact I really suck at economic strategies, I just live building and exploration, so that's what I do. Only once I almost ran out of water, but even then when aeroplanes were already sent to get more of it, so it was fine. P.S. Would I pay full price? No, this one seem to costly for me (I live in an EU country, but a poor, ex-Soviet one) for a small toy (20,99 Euros in my region), however, I got this for a good discount on Epic store (9,19 Euros instead of 23,99 for a delux version), so I'm more than happy.

[@Pinstar]

This review is very accurate, and the game very enjoyable.

[@DustinNuttall]

Is this a never-ending city builder, or at the end of reuniting the 3 kingdoms does the game end? All I want is to build for 300 hours.

[@typsom]

no endless mode. which is the #1 reason I haven't bought it

[@prestonbyrd8443]

Did someone say 'Laputa'?

[@littlemissevel3607]

Currently in a Humble Bundle for the next 20 days if anyone is interested.

[@TheCreepypro]

looks like a cool and chill game I can vibe with

[@reddeviluk]

Out on the Nintendo Switch in two days.

[@yardgharforge3157]

Looks like that arabian faction from Heroes V, the game.

[@TotalRookie_LV]

LoL, no wonder, basically we are building our own flying carpet in this one. XD

[@jeaninetheron07]

Great review :) Enough to sell me on it. Going to try and then perhaps leave a comment again.

[@Gallo_1.6]

Is there an Airborn Kingdom discord server?

[@bocou]

Why isn’t this game on steam........

[@andrewrivera4046]

No sky pirates to worry about huh?

[@robbielex]

I would love a chill-out game like this but with graphics so amazing they tax my system like Cyberpunk 2077 does.

[@kitthekat6844]

Perhaps chill graphics like this helps create that chill-out vibe you're talking about? I feel like the vibe simply wouldn't be the same with realistic Cyberpunk2077-ish graphics 🤔

[@andresviavattene3874]

no combat at all?

[@JanitoRiceMeister]

Bioshock Infinite City Builder

[@ariwiguna4171]

kingdom fly poop rain...horayyy hahah just joking

[@denialz1460]

this is actually a really good review. glad it wasn't biased and they actually expressed the cons adequately.

[@charmedcharmed3511]

No combat, conquer or defence at all? I was hoping to see flying units in combat.

[@X7373Z]

Huh that looks neat. Oh. Epic games store. Well, never mind then.

[@SilortheBlade]

While I do agree, their is a sale going on right now that gives you an extra $10 off on top of the christmas sale discount. I got the game for under $10, so I couldn't refuse.

[@vaporous7465]

@E M In fact I like the design of epic games launcher more and the free games are a nice bonus

[@FreedomFighterEx]

@@JetBlackRage It is permanently on EGS.

[@WhiteSama0]

@@HeroDarkStorn The devs confirmed it's NEVER coming to Steam because they "believe in Epic's vision". What a bunch of tossers.

[@VongolaSekundes]

try to keep up with the world will ya? the monopolistic era has ended a while ago. a little bit of competition for Steam won't hurt anyone

[@okras2007]

how did you make this review 4 years ago if game just released 2025? hello

[@jbc6980]

Why don’t you enable captions in your videos?

[@RileyJustHappened]

Looks good, i'll play it in a year when it comes out.

[@ThishandlefeatureISdumb]

It’s already out tho? On sale on epicgames store right now

[@RileyJustHappened]

@@ThishandlefeatureISdumb so, out in a year then!

[@JamesBond007Nejc]

Hard being Steam fanboy these days

[@RileyJustHappened]

@@JamesBond007Nejc mostly just not interested giving my money to Tencent and a man who thinks PC gaming is dead.
