About Airborne Empire
Airborne Empire is an open-world RPG and city builder where you create a flying city and keep it aloft by managing its lift, balance and propulsion. You balance resources, infrastructure and the needs of your people while building defenses and abilities to fight sky pirates.
Build your flying city
Shape and grow a city in the skies. You can unlock lift, propulsion and morale buildings, research upgrades to improve the city and its citizens, and develop abilities and weapons to defend against pirate threats.
Explore the world
Travel through five biomes, including the lush Aeyrie, volcanic Blackspine and snowy Kingsfell. Discover distant kingdoms, forgotten settlements, relics and hidden technologies. You can meet characters, uncover their stories, trade with them and complete quests to liberate towns and rebuild connections between kingdoms.
Fight the pirates
Pirates threaten the fragile peace. Build defensive structures to repel their attacks, hunt down their outposts and destroy their bases. Your offensive options include Freeze Cannons, Tesla Cannons and Aircrafts, and you also protect the kingdoms below from different pirate enemies.
Game modes
- Survival Mode: survive 20 escalating stages of pirate attacks.
- Pacifist Mode: explore and build your city without combat.
- Hard Mode: take on a greater challenge with custom difficulty sliders.
- Creative Mode: build without restrictions and experiment freely.
