Airmen

Airmen is a first-person ship-building and battling game. You build airships, landships or watercraft piece by piece, then crew your vessel solo or with friends on expeditions across the Archipelago. Gather wood, aetherium, magnesite and other resources to upgrade your ship, or mine resources and raid cargo holds on other players’ ships and AI air forts. You can take the wheel, operate turrets, board enemy ships with an axe or keep the engines running with a repair hammer. Every ship component can be destroyed, so you need to extract in one piece.

Build and equip your ship

You can build from scratch using a growing catalog of more than 300 parts, and friends can work together through co-op building. Ships can range from 3k to 30k mass, allowing you to make quick cargo haulers, versatile brawlers or combat juggernauts. Propulsion options include propellers, wheels, tank tracks, walker legs and a domesticated mechalodon.

Armaments include aimable cannon batteries, pigeon-guided missiles, rams, harpoons and player-operated turrets. Grappling hooks, knives, axes, revolvers, rifles and boarding charges let you board enemy ships and commandeer them. Ships are damaged component by component; without engines, a ship cannot power its guns.

Explore the Archipelago

Explore the islands for rare resources to upgrade your ship. Across the open-world Archipelago, you can run deliveries, hunt quarries, harvest resources and defeat AI installations. Complete contracts to build reputation with multiple factions, or form a fleet to face powerful world bosses such as the Mechalodon and Ghost Ship.

You can crew your ship with any number of friends or fly solo, facing enemy crews and AI-controlled encounters. The game also includes 60+ player cosmetics to unlock by completing in-game challenges, and lets you share your ships or download ships through the Steam Workshop.
