This game is frustratingly opaque. I can't even read quest materials lists like Henry's Shopping List and Javier's List of Building Materials while I'm out looking for the items to complete them. The game has broken bits and elements that make no sense, and nobody seems to be answering any questions on the forum. This game had potential once, but I can't recommend buying it now as it appears unfinished and abandoned.

Airship Kingdom Adrift First, let's talk about the gameplay. The game has good gameplay, and it's an area that still has a lot of room for improvement in terms of quality of life. Some things could be simplified to save the player's time, especially when it comes to managing production chains. (Some of these improvements are already on the roadmap for future updates, so I wouldn't worry too much about that.) …

This game scratches the Sid Meier's Pirates! itch better then most actual seafaring pirate games. The designs of the ships are fantastic with each faction having a signature style that makes complete sense based on the backstory. You can tell the developers truly love their setting with the well-written story/dialogue and deep world building. The gameplay loop is incredibly compelling with enough simplicity to …

If you like Starsector or Sunless Sea, this is worth a look. The worldbuilding is easily the strongest part. Subtle, layered, and full of scale. Ship design feels flexible and intuitive, with lots of room to experiment. Combat rewards preparation without being overly punishing. The economy and manufacturing systems add depth without becoming tedious. Visually, sailing around is genuinely relaxing. Still feels a bit …

I don’t usually play that many games that come in the Steampunk genre for RTT + RPG games. However, this game is quite engaging. They have a great BGM. It has highly complex mechanics. Begin with a small airship, engaging in transport missions in order to accrue funds while advancing your weaponry, eventually leading to commanding a full fleet. Resource management is quite complex, thus it is best suited for …

PROS: Cool ship designs Workshop access for mods Combat is not bad, fairly straightforward Love the design concepts to customize your ship, a bit simple though Fairly powerful weapons and ships Interesting characters and side plots CONS: QOL issues, you are in the ship the whole time interacting with just menus Inventory system leaves a little bit to…

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is a potentially interesting game marred by a very ♥♥♥♥♥♥ interface. For your first 10 hours or so, everything will seem fine. It'll be pretty obvious to you that the devs main focus in this game is logistics, as there's hundreds of different things to be build in this game. You can, ultimately, build ships which will require a multitude of components, which will be assemled from a wide variety of raw materials, and I think the web of logistics here is phenomenal (albeit a little…

neutral · AI labelView post →While there's definitely a good game inside here, the amount of UI failures and general frustration in how anything WORKS drags it down. This is one of those games where you need to do a lot of research from the community to figure out how to play the game, because the game itself doesn't tell you. What's the difference between a Reaction Dynamo and a Mana Dynamo? I dunno, the game doesn't say. What's the difference between these two cannons? You have to carefully examine the details,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I will preface this by saying I got this from a Fanatical Mystery Egg Bundle, in which this was sadly one of the better pulls. This game starts off incredibly strong. But... That's kind of it. The game has voice acting for the first few hours or so, but it seems to die out after awhile and the grammar errors/typos increased as I've played through the game. I got about halfway through the game, Fleet Power 49 and I'm flying around with the Meadow Hawk Cargo ship or whatever, then I realized,…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →In short, it is boring and overcomplicated. Longer review. Much of the game is about watching the paint dry. Distances are vast relative to speed of ships. It takes several minutes of real time to travel longer distances even if you speed up the game 20 times (max allowed). You are forced to travel a lot. The game has ship movement system similar with space games. Your ships accelerate to much higher movement speed after a while (cruising). Unlike these other games you cannot steer your…

neutral · AI labelView post →Oh my, there are some things I have to tell you with this game! First, as I started it, it has been a strongly unoptimized mess. Things got better after I changed my rig, but even then. The story has been more than unstatisfying, espcecially the ending. TLDR, I wholeheartedly recommend to only buy it when on a great sale, or not at all! Regarding performance: Maybe they have fixed it now, but as I played, even with a Nvidia 4080 the game had strong performance issues while flying, and on my…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The game has trash mechanics that are all about meta building and unless you know what load out to use you will fail even on the easiest difficulty. The game doesn't explain what's best and much of the calculation is obscured. Without a guide it's not possible to get very far. Other than that, it's a typical linear game about resource building and ship fleet management. That said, I don't recommend it if you're looking for something easy and fun to play. Unless you don't mind cheating to…

Your escort ships completely brain dead and all ways get in the way as they get bigger. Refuses to act as instructed.

negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Very elaborate cash grab. There's a lot of voice acting in the first mission then it noticeably just stops. The Production/Trade machines aren't well explained nor do they function well. The world is stagnant no matter what you do. Good concepts but its execution leaves it as the typical sandbox pirate game.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →This is one that surely should have been listed as early access. The game is not even remotely finished. I could only get to the point of turning in the Rescue Helmut quest which the game bug would not allow me to do, so the whole run is shot because the game won't progress past that point. Tried to get help to no avail. Just a simple quest reset would help, but no. So now I will try again, and again, and again... Sound fun? Didn't think so. Save your money.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The first few hours are decent but I quickly realized the vast world was lifeless and that the production system was so over wrought my eyes just glazed over. The story is quickly losing my interest which isnt helped by the way enemy encounters and travel are handled on the overworld which makes traveling to do the story a boring affair with annoying popup fights that mean nothing and give nothing. Edit: having seen the new beta update i reinstalled and tried setting up a very simple…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Can I recommend this game as it is now? no. This game is lacking in content, the story is boring and filled with repetive fetch quests, and the whole game just has repetitive gameplay that gets old fast. The ship building is okay, but quickly you'll notice how little options there really are as all the weapons are just reskins of one another, and the "better" armors for your ship only ever does a slightly better job at preventing immediate damage as the weakest armor in the game. Your ships…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Feels like it's designed to be more frustrating and tedious than fun. So many ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ menus, so much fiddling around with sending ships to and fro, while the game freezes for a solid 5 seconds if I try to see my materials in other warehouses. Freight Duty is such a needlessly confusing system. Why is there an auto'buy/sell' function in it if it does not function as an auto buy or sell? What is the purpose of freight ships if you can't do a simple automation of buying and selling? Ship…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →The biggest problem with this game isn't that it's difficult—it's that almost every mechanic feels designed to slow the player down instead of rewarding them. Officer progression is unnecessarily restrictive. Some officers level naturally through combat, while others require specific quests just to unlock further progression, then additional quest items or rare materials scattered across the world. It's progression gated behind more progression. Ship building limits creativity. Instead of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →English is not my main language, So...yeah... Ok first of all, every negative review here is good, and tell us truth by 90% of the time. What they loosing is technical issues that make game unplayable. 1) All ships are made of this modules, cool idea, seen it in lot of games, but in this game? Deam unoptimised. I got myself 2 heavy trade ships (with no trading or dealing with game supplu and economy because it's borring and garbage anyway), and outfited them into battleships with tons of…
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Good general idea but in game tutorials are out of date and you are stuck searching for other out of date guides for how to play. Nothing is intuitive and just creating another ship feels like a research project unearthing inaccurate reddit posts. Big thumbs down.
negative · reviewer's own thumbsView post →Still pretty early in the game (playtime has a lot of idling on second screen in it) but I'm really enjoying it so far. The overall concept and vibe is wonderful, I love being able to slot individual components and armor and stuff on my ship and seeing those same individual components get damaged and affect the ship as they get removed or destroyed. Particular placement is rather important, as I learned on one of my first attempts at customizing a ship where I had too little armor and got…
positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →I really wanted to like this one, and did end up spending a lot of time with it, but ultimately it's just filled with frustration. The main point of Grief here is the trading system. There are a ton of options available to you, but the UI is very bad and difficult to learn. Once you do learn it, you find that you need to navigate between many different screens to set anything up. For example, to automate a freight shipment, you need to navigate to the relevant city, navigate to the…

neutral · AI labelView post →I really wish Steam had a "neutral" option for games like this. The base gameplay is solid (a 2D plane with battleship broadside-style combat combined with an open-world where you can trade, become an industrialist, be a mercenary, or a pirate, or any combination of the three) set in an interesting world, but there are glaring flaws that need to be fixed. For starters, this game is saying it's a full release, but the latest notes say that it's still in Beta. It should be released in Early…

I had fun flying around a bit and entering a few battles and completing a few main quest items but then the game just gets horribly boring.

This is a great choice for players who love complexity.

positive · reviewer's own thumbsView post →So the basic concept of this game is really cool. Fly about in airships load them out with gear and weapons, fight pirates, engage in trade and build industrial/trade stations. However the execution is appalling. I can only assume the Devs tried to re-invent the wheel and decided that making it hexagonal would be an improvement. The mission interfaces are un-intuitive and clunky. Why they cannot have a simple quest tracker which ticks off the goals as you complete them I don't know.…

The game lacks a bit of content in terms of modules/ships/sidequests, and there are no faction mechanics / settlement control. Trade is repetitive, and production a bit annoying. UI has some quirks. Fleets are limited to three ships at a time. But for most intents and purpose, you're effectively getting like 2/3rd of Starsector in a pretty, one-shot, Steampunk package. Game is…

I wanted to give it a try because I really enjoy the Steampunk/Fantasy theme airships, gunfights, and strategic planning. The ship-building system offers a lot of variety, which was a bit confusing at first. But you get to upgrade different types of airships in great detail, like choosing different weapons and armor systems. There’s a trading system, a storyline, and the gameplay is quite relaxed. The x10 speed boost helps cut down on travel time, which is a…
