Why you might like it

  • Combined browser-based strategy (base building, resource and research management) with genuine 3D turn-based tactical battles — unusual for a browser game of its era.
  • Offered both story-driven PvE quests/co-op boss raids and structured PvP skirmishes and tournaments.
  • Let players choose to fly solo or join alliances with other airship captains for larger-scale conflicts.
Before you play

Things to consider

  • The game closed in 2014 after about three years of service and is no longer playable through any official channel.
  • Its dieselpunk airship setting and menu-heavy resource management may feel dated compared to modern browser strategy MMOs.
  • Progression relied on a real-money gem currency alongside gold and iron, which shaped a cash-shop economy typical of free-to-play browser titles of its era.
