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.
