Players will start off small and expand their sky city into a blooming paradise by gathering resources from the world below. Making sure the city is not heavy is a key factor to success and peace, as losing the equilibrium for the platform will result in disastrous results. Adding to and expanding your city will of course add more weight to the platform that’s upholding your city in the sky and it can be rather delicate. The main challenge while building your ever-growing sky Utopia is the weight.
But you will indeed face some challenges while building your dream floating kingdom. And there are no natural disasters or competing cities to fear of. It’s a city-builder with a relaxed attitude as you won’t be dealing with planning permissions, water rates, tax rises to pay for council projects, and Godzilla attacking from the ocean (I recall this was a thing in very old SimCity for the SNES). Players will build their own utopia in the sky, much like a more pleasant version of Bio-Shock Infinite Columbia. While many other city builders unload a great deal of stress and responsibilities onto players, Airborne takes a more chilled approach to the goal at hand. This is what you may class as a city builder, one which is incredibly beautiful and offers a different type of challenge. Airborne Kingdom is setting its sails as another mellow and enriching gaming venture that rewards you through interesting and dynamic problem solving, which doesn’t result in a respawn after a sneaking enemy grenade.Īirborne Kingdom is about bringing people together in a long-forgotten land, via a beacon of hope in the shape of a floating city. Do you ever just fancy chilling out while playing a game? Embarking on an experience that’s challenging and creative, yet does not punish you for making a mistake or embracing the learning curve? There are many more games coming out which fit this bill, such as the recent Unpacking and Cloud Gardens.
