A thousand years ago, the world of Sarnaut was split by a cataclysm into countless islands that drift through the Astral space. Before long, people invented flying ships to travel from island to island, and found artifacts and treasures everywhere. Treasure hunters began to form squadrons, and equipped their airships with various weaponry to protect themselves in their hunt for riches. Bands of Cloud Pirates, as people called them, began to fight each other for the right to plunder the skies for profit and glory!

Players can take command of a customizable airship and navigate the clouds to take part in exciting, fast-paced aerial battles. In Cloud Pirates, captains can blaze through science-fiction fantasy battlefields and cooperate with their squadron to outgun or outsmart the rivaling team.
