BNR: I recently stumbled across a neat steampunk video game that’s currently in development: that game is 20,000 Leagues Above the Clouds. A game of floating islands and exploration, 20K Leagues gives you an airship and a world to explore- from the looks of things, it contains the dialogue-driven storytelling of Mass Effect with the sense of adventure that we came to know and love in the criminally underrated Pirates! by Sid Meier.
20,000 Leagues Above the Clouds is a great looking new game that sees you captaining a steampunk airship across the skies of a Studion Ghibli-inspired world of floating islands. Set for release on PC and Mac, it’s a blend of Baldur’s Gate and Sid Meyers Pirates!, but with more airships, and slightly higher consequences of falling overboard.
Throughout the game, you’ll captain your ship across the seven skies, battling other ships and upgrading your own with a selection of steampunk weaponry and equipment. As you progress through the game, your actions will shape your characters personality; with you becoming either a righteous and charming captain or a scoundrel, feared across the seven seas.
