Zurich, Switzerland - December 5, 2024 – David Stark and Metaroot have announced that Airships: Lost Flotilla will be released on Steam on 23 January. A demo is now available on Steam for Windows and Linux. Fight your way through waves of enemies on your way to a safe harbour. Destroy your foes, harvest wreckage, and upgrade your ship.
Engage enemies with different attack patterns and abilities. Fight massive boss monsters that require cunning and firepower to defeat.
Pick the slow but powerful Battleship, the nimble Copter, or the Science Vessel with its railgun and energy shield. Build a strategy around their strengths and weaknesses. Don’t feel the need to ever stop? The Megaplane will suit you. Want to build a mighty fleet? Start with the Flagship.
Improve your ship with training for your crew, more armor plating, or senior officers. Pick a doctrine to gain its advantages: terrify your enemies, dodge incoming attacks, make your money through trade. Find powerful combinations that lay waste to your enemies.
Unlock captains for your ship that give you powerful advantages and disadvantages and change the rules of your game.
Temples and monoliths as well as more familiar ports float in the skies, changing the game rules in parts of the map. Disadvantage your enemies and boost your abilities with careful positioning.
