In the game, ships are viewed side-on, and their modules are operated by individual crew members. During combat, players give high-level commands to a small fleet, positioning their ships, ramming and boarding others. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall. Players can also compete against one another in Internet and LAN matches.
The ships are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around at their individual tasks, like an ant farm or a cut-away drawing. The player's choices in ship layout are crucial, and an important part of the game is exploring the design space of different airships and their matching tactics.
Airships: Conquer the Skies has a special 50% off deal on Steam this week, so if you've been thinking about getting the game, this is the optimal time.
I'd also like to again point you towards Airships: Lost Flotilla , an autoshooter set in the same universe. You control a single airship from a top-down view, moving it arcade-style as it automatically shoots at enemies. You then collect the burning wreckage of your foes and use it to repair and upgrade your ship.
I've just released a new version of the demo that adds an overworld map. So instead of going straight into the next fight after upgrading, you instead choose where your fleet goes on its journey.
Different destinations have pros and cons in terms of what enemies you fight, the rewards you get, the available upgrades, and your relationship with local factions.
Plus, you can now install tentacles on your airship.
And finally, there is now a mysterious magical keypad...
Anyway, do try out the demo !
