Airships: Conquer the Skies
In Airships: Conquer the Skies you'll need to use all of your creativity and skill to design and build fearsome airships and land vehicles to give you the edge in massive aerial battles. Construct your vehicles by piecing together a vast array of modules, choosing weapons, armour types, structures, equipment and resources in near endless configurations to allow you to prevail against even the toughest foes. The vehicles are highly detailed, teeming with sailors moving around performing their individual tasks to stay in the fight. Your choices of vehicle layouts are crucial, exploring the design space of different crafts and their matching tactics to make sure your fleet emerges victorious. Once your vehicles are ready for the fight, you’ll give high-level commands to your small fleet, swooping, soaring, ramming and boarding others to gain the upper hand in battle. Ships and terrain are fully destructible: they can catch fire, explode, break apart, and fall, so you’ll need to choose your tactics wisely. Face off against giant aerial kraken, fleshcracker mechs, huge venomous spiders, clockwork wasps, and more. Defeat them and reap the rewards. Play across three distinctly different modes: taking on (or creating your own) bespoke Missions; building a mighty empire in Conquest, or destroying your friends in Multiplayer matches online or via LAN.

A desperate war between a mercenary company and a death cult. The discovery of what man can do to another for ideology and fickle politics. The pointlessness of the suffering. Conquerors of a land that has become a graveyard, devoid of resources and beauty. War is hell, and the funny airships game has opened my eyes to the absurd horror of it all.

This game is really fun and not overly complicated like some other games in this style (looking at you From The Depths.) I was very sad to see that in app purchases were getting put in, i was then very happy it was an april fools joke!

Great game. I wish more people were playing multiplayer, particularly in cooperative mode. But it is pretty fun in singleplayer. Campaign is seriously addictive.
There is a lot of depth here to discover as you progress through the ages, many different events that actually lead to battles, and when you do get to those real-time battles, your tactics can make a huge difference.
I found the building UI to be a bit tough. I couldn't find more than like one or two hot keys, so it took a long time to build even simple stuff without decorations. But it does feel good to design something new that you felt your fleet was lacking, and watch it perform even better than you expected once you take it to battle.
I also could not figure out where to launch expeditions during the age of exploration or send out trading caravans during the age of commerce. I checked the manual and googled around but did not find anything yet.
This game doesn't hold your hand at all, the initial tutorials do help but a lot of the satisfaction here will come out of figuring it out all on your own.
Full recommendation from me. This is another indie gem which is criminally cheap and occupies a unique space. I hope it gets a sequel because I really want to experience this in multiplayer.

Strikes the right balance between maneuvering in combat, shipbuilding, and strategy. Some systems are a bit simplistic (e.g., income buildings) and in my personal opinion there are some areas that can use some additional balancing, but in every other respect it is a very enjoyable, fast paced, relatively short strategy game, despite straddling several genres known for being very unapproachable.

I bought Airships: Conquer the skies back in December of 2018. I couldn't run it on my crappy dell laptop back then and the developer offered a refund. I denied it because I hope for the game and I'm glad I did, it's turned out to be a wonderful game to play either alone or with friends.

i love putting an ammo storage in the middle of my airship and then having it be cut in half when it explodes
