'Airheart: Tales Of Broken Wings' (ALL) Gets PS4, PC Release Date - Screens & Trailer

Airheart is a dieselpunk airplane action game, where every colorful level is built on top of the previous one, all the way up to the stratosphere.

Airheart: Tales Of Broken Wings is a stunning diesel-punk action game in which players become Amelia, a young pilot living in the cloud city of Granaria who wishes to one day reach the world’s edge. In order to survive and thrive in the floating city, Amelia must take to the air in her customizable plane to go sky fishing, avoiding pirates and many other dangers along the way.

Players are free to explore the beautifully vibrant, vertical world above Granaria at their leisure, soaring higher and higher into the sky as they take on rival aircraft using tight, responsive twin-stick controls and an assortment of aero-based abilities.

In between bouts of action, a robust crafting system offers Amelia opportunities to upgrade her highly customizable plane, crafting new items from scrap obtained from fallen foes. With over 40 weapons and airplane parts, there are tons of combinations to find your ideal airplane. Funds can also be earned from sky fishing, but doing so might have a bigger impact on Granaria’s ecosystem as it first might seem.

Tough, smart and determined, the character of Amelia, along with the game itself, is a tribute to famed author, adventurer and pioneer Amelia Earhart – on whose July 24 birthday the game will make its console debut.


“All of us at Blindflug are really excited to share Airheart with the world – I know that gamers will love Amelia and the colorful universe she inhabits,” said Moritz Zumbühl, Blindflug Studios CEO. “With an in-depth customization system, a raft of combat options and a world that changes according to how you treat it, I believe we’ve delivered a deep, beautiful gameplay experience for everyone to enjoy.”

Key Features:

  • Furious Fights and Challenges: Action packed airplane battles against pirates and high tech drones will test your flying skills. Giant Zeppelin and Mechanical Snake await to fight you on your journey to the stratosphere.
  • Fishing and Harpooning: Search and hunt for flying fish to earn precious fish oil. Use your fishing harpoon to catch huge species, stun enemies or disassemble other airplanes for parts.
  • Crafting and Customizing: An interesting crafting system lets you figure out combination ideas for various junk. Craft over 40 weapons and airplane parts to customize your plane with.
  • Amazing graphics: You know those hypnotizingly beautiful flowers, that hunt bugs? Well, that’s a great metaphor for the colorful world of Airheart. Chosen as one of Game Art Challenge winners from the Game Developers Conference 2018, Airheart will enchant you with its unique art style.
  • Interesting background: The skylayers will change with new species entering the ecosystem as you play. Inspired by how real habitats change due to overfishing in the real world.

Airheart: Tales Of Broken Wings will arrive first on PC (Steam) and PS4 on July 24, 2018, followed by launching on further consoles in the coming weeks.
