A casual airline management game set on Earth and Mars. Supports singleplayer and Steam co-op.
The game allows players to build and expand their own airline network across the globe, including the option to operate flights on a terraformed Mars. It features a mix of strategic decision-making and real-time management, as players must balance factors like plane selection, route planning, airport upgrades, and passenger demand to run a successful airline.
Players can choose between a hub-and-spoke model or a point-to-point network, depending on their preferred strategy. They can send planes on long, multi-city cycles or focus on direct flights between major hubs. This versatility encourages experimentation and replayability, as players can explore different approaches to see what works best for their airline.
The game features a diverse array of aircraft, each with its own unique combination of speed, range, fuel consumption, and capacity. Players must carefully consider which planes to acquire and deploy on specific routes to maximize efficiency and profitability. As the game progresses, new plane models become available, requiring players to adapt their fleet to changing needs.
Airports can spawn with random bonuses and evolve over time. Players must make strategic decisions about which airports to invest in, building hubs, lounges, and other upgrades to optimize their network. This adds an additional layer of complexity as players balance short-term needs with long-term planning to ensure the continued growth and success of their airline.
The game provides a wealth of data and metrics, allowing players to delve into the financial and operational details of their airline. Factors such as profit history, passenger demand, and route efficiency are all displayed, giving players a comprehensive understanding of their airline's performance.
The game's user-friendly interface and straightforward mechanics make it easy for newcomers to pick up and play, while the strategic depth and challenge of meeting quarterly goals provide a more engaging experience for seasoned management sim enthusiasts.
The developer actively engages with players and incorporates feedback into ongoing updates and improvements, further enhancing the overall experience.
