Skyward Adventurers, Your Orders Are In: Demo Launches Next Month!
Commanders, mark your calendars! In just one month, our highly anticipated demo will be soaring onto Steam, and we absolutely cannot wait to share it with you! Get ready to pilot your massive aerial fortress into the heart of a perpetual war.
This isn't just a taste; it's a deep dive into the world we've built, showcasing the core of what makes our game tick.
What Awaits You in the Demo?
You'll be able to experience the vital role of your flying fortress – a mobile base for strategy, upgrades, and resource management, truly the centerpiece of your journey. It's your stronghold for exploration and expansion, equipped with powerful turrets to open new territories and defend against relentless enemies.
We're bringing you three intense levels, each designed to challenge your skills and immerse you in our unique world. (And yes, we're still busy dressing them up to look their absolute best for you!)
Level 1: The Cloudveil Mountains
Story: Your journey begins deep in the far mountains, where the first scouts of The Restoration fleet have been deployed. Look out for the colossal facility towers looming in the distance!
Art: Expect majestic mountains and rich natural elements.
Design: We'll introduce enemies and mechanics in isolation, then ramp up the intensity with exciting combinations.
Progression: You'll acquire 0 to 6 random upgrades.
Level 2: The Fallen Factory
Story: Your castle finally breaches the factory, the very heart and most valuable point of The Restoration army.
Art: Prepare for enclosed spaces, aggressive lighting, and intricate mechanical elements.
Design: This level combines all enemies for the ultimate challenge!
Progression: Expect to earn 7 to 12 random upgrades.
Level 3: Eye of the Storm
Story: You've escaped victorious from the crumbling facility. Now, only one formidable foe remains: The Herald, a rival flying castle sided with The Restoration.
Art: Behold the vast expanse of the sky and sea, a stark contrast to the factory's confines, with familiar mountains from Level 1 in the background.
Design: This is the ultimate final boss challenge!
Meet Your Adversaries!
You'll encounter a diverse range of foes designed to test your tactical prowess:
The Herald: A massive rival floating citadel, often more powerful than your own castle, protected by rotating walls with vulnerable laser gun slots. It's the ultimate boss challenge!
Knights: Heavily armed Marauder variants, protected by strong frontal shields that deactivate when they lock onto a target, signaling your window to strike!
Marauders: Light cruisers that deploy swarms of Wasps. They keep their distance, relying on their gliders to harass and overwhelm.
Proximity Mines: Hidden within the surface, these mines go airborne upon detecting your castle, slowly approaching to detonate and deal area damage to you and nearby enemies.
Wasps: Small, agile, unmanned aerial gliders equipped with collision explosives. These kamikaze attackers aim to overwhelm defenses through sheer numbers and speed.
Your Castle, Your Survival
Your flying fortress is more than just a base; it's your weapon, shield, and home in this endless war. Its core health bar represents your overall survival, supported by modular turret systems acting as offense and defense. Strategize your module placement and repairs to withstand the onslaught!
A World Forged in War
Dive into a rich history where humanity survives above the clouds in floating cities, constantly battling the remnants of a forgotten conflict. Encounter The Restoration, a new enemy from the surface determined to end the sky-dwellers. Our story is told through the environment itself:
Stagnant Technology: A twisted evolution of WWI machinery.
Castle Design: Fortresses that are living fragments of civilization.
Dialogues & Communications: Atmospheric sounds and war hymns that echo the past.
Two ways of life are on a collision course. Will you lead the last strongholds to avenge the fallen and destroy The Restoration's fleet?
Get ready to experience the full scope of our aerial warfare. Add us to your wishlist now and prepare for the demo next month!
