About the Game

Your fleet was betrayed and your airship barely escaped destruction. Now fight your way past waves of pirates, cultists, and sky monsters. Destroy your foes, harvest wreckage, upgrade your ship, and find your way to safety.

A Menagerie of Monsters

Engage enemies with different attack patterns and abilities. Fight massive boss monsters that require cunning and firepower to defeat.

An Array of Airships

Pick the slow but powerful Battleship, the nimble Copter, or the Science Vessel with its railgun and energy shield. Build a strategy around their strengths and weaknesses. Don't feel the need to ever stop? The Megaplane will suit you. Want to build a mighty fleet? Start with the Flagship.

Path Planning

Choose where your fleet goes on its journey. Different destinations have pros and cons in terms of what enemies you fight, the rewards you get, the available upgrades, and your relationships with local factions. For example, you can befriend cultists, gaining their Worm Blessings and their aid in future battles.

A Panoply of Powerups

Equip your ship with cannons, rockets, aerial torpedoes, mines, gatling guns, and more. Strengthen it with modules like ammo elevators, guard barracks, command posts. Host strange temples.

Improve your ship with training for your crew, more armor plating, or senior officers. Pick a doctrine to gain its advantages: terrify your enemies, dodge incoming attacks, make your money through trade. Find powerful combinations that lay waste to your enemies.

Charismatic Captains

Unlock captains for your ship that give you powerful advantages and disadvantages and change the rules of your game.

Strange Stelae

Temples and monoliths as well as more familiar ports float in the skies, changing the game rules in parts of the map. Disadvantage your enemies and boost your abilities with careful positioning.
