Airborne Kingdom is a work of art and the developers have absolutely nailed the concept to perfection. It brings something completely new to the tycoon games genre with a rich and detailed story to accompany it. The game is surprisingly well polished and I had a gala of time playing and reviewing it. There were hardly any negatives to the game and the only area of concern was the less responsive camera system. But that is nothing a few patches can't fix! I am sure I will be playing this title for a long time and this will surely turn into an addiction!
I thoroughly enjoyed Airborne Kingdom and it is certainly one of my favorite city builder/ resource management games. From style to gameplay, the game is relaxing and easy to play.

Airborne Kingdom is a beautiful city builder with some unique twists like flight and lore! It borrows familiar concepts from other builders including resource management (e.g. find ore to keep your city afloat), population management (e.g. build housing and keep citizens happy), and city management (e.g. position factories far from housing), and expands on the concept with rich lore in a beautiful environment. Parts I enjoyed most were (1) finding ways to design a city that is both balanced (i.e. not tip over and fall out of sky) and optimized, and (2) completing quests to reunite the world. Many city builders offer quests but they're typically arbitrary and lame. In Airborne Kingdom, I felt motivated by allying with cities and completing my "tapestry", and benefitting from the perks from allies (e.g. free resources). I was proud to have completed the campaign while also having achieved designing a city that could stay afloat indefinitely with a fully "jubilant" population. Well done, Wandering Band. I look forward to seeing what you publish next!

Rather than trying to beat the giants at their own game, Airborne Kingdom carefully selects its core tenets and takes flight without getting weighed down by steep difficulty or stressful play. It might not be the kind of city-builder one comes back to again and again, but I enjoyed my time floating above it all.
Due to repetitive gameplay Airborne Kingdom might not be the best city builder of 2020, but it definitely is one of the most interesting. Its mechanics nicely reflect the fact that your city floats in the air, but even though you need to consider the weight distribution and be careful not to tilt the whole thing, the game is easy and relaxing.

Airborne Kingdom is a well-balanced city builder highly focused in exploration. In this Arabian Night-like world, graphic and music create a mesmerizing strategic experience. Sadly, with time, the sense of wonder decreases, and the game feels a little too predictable.
Airborne Kingdom has a couple of interesting ideas and
occasionally draws you in with engaging resource and city building
mechanics, but it lacks depth and replay value. With dull quests and a
lack of challenge, it might just drift by most players unnoticed, like
a balloon in the sky.
Just the chilled out city builder I was looking forwith some great mechanics.

Finished it in 1 go. yes, I guess it is that short. (i.e: About 6/8 hours depending on your strategy)
But I absolutely enjoyed it very much.
It had a sense of awe just going out about in your floating town hall and just ever expanding.
The economy in the game is very forgiving, and I personally like that. There is some trial and error but once you get the hang of ****`s great.
I can really recommend. 9/10

Saw it some time ago, and loved it. Instantly put it on my Steam wishlist. Saw it at a friend recently, and wondered why I didn't get a message saying the game was available.
Turns out the Dev used Steam for free marketing, and then pulled it and went to the Epic store. SHAME!
