Prepare to set sail...through the skies!
Build your skyship and explore the open world, fight factions of pirates and monsters, claim your territory by foot or by your flying vessel. You're the captain and the sky is the limit in this skypunk Open World action adventure combining sandbox, top-down shooter and action/adventure.
Many years ago, Earth turned into thousands of islands floating in the air. In the new world, peoples of Aspya used to live in peace...until vicious raiders invaded their island homelands.
You are Eva, a proud daughter of the Earners. The Kain's Falcons—cold-blooded bandits from the Desert Lands—destroyed the Earners’ Fathership and took your father’s life. Driven by revenge, you have to rebuild your aerial home “from the deck up”, arm and prepare for battle.
However, the Kain’s Falcons are not the only threat you are about to face. Deep in the depths of the Black Skylands, the mysterious Swarm lurks…
Prepare for battle!
