We love it when someone innovates on a well-trodden trend with new and exciting ideas. Airborne Kingdom, you see, is not just your average city builder. It's not even just your average steampunk city builder. Airborne Kingdom — as you can, er, probably guess from the name — is a city builder in the sky.
Your city will be a colossal, physics-defying kingdom that soars above the land, gathering resources from below to build the necessary infrastructure to support your growing population, and trying to keep up with their requests for less noisy neighbourhoods and more churches.
Airborne Kingdom has been out for a while on PC, where it's garnered quite the reputation already: an 8/10 from PC Gamer and ScreenRant, a 9/10 from The Gamer, and a BAFTA nomination for "Best Debut Game". And yes, we know that it's a dreadfully tired comparison at this point, but the art direction has more than a little Ghibli about it. It's quite lovely.
All this is to say that Airborne Kingdom is bringing its cloudpunk strategy to the Nintendo Switch on the 9th of November, along with the "New Game Plus Update" which adds a new world, increased challenge, greater variety with increased randomisation, and extra features to lessen the challenge slightly (if you're interested).
Is Airborne Kingdom your cup of sky-tea? Let us know in the comments!

Bioshock Infinite jokes aside, this sounds unironically cool.
Metroidvanias are out.
Farming sims are out.
City Builders are in.
Jokes aside, I wish everyone success with their games.
The preview for the game states it'll be out for September =)
It kinda reminds me of the Mortal Engine movie. It looks interesting. I will have to check out a review on the pc.
Wowa! Great concept! Definitely intrigued!
Breath of Fire II if the flying township is the only focus in the game.
I hope NintendoLife reviews it because I trust no other review 🧐
Looks interesting though.

I get it. I've really come to appreciate the thoughts and opinions of the reviewers on this site.
I so wanted this game to come to Switch and hope it performs smoothly.
So much brown! It looks pretty awesome, though.
