Sky Nations Demo

Sky Nations is a sandbox building game that lets users build airships, form nations, and battle other players in major online battles.

Sky Nations is a game that’s very similar to Minecraft, so if you're looking for something to get you off that game that’s been consuming your life, you might want to give this one a try.

The only problem is that it’s a multiplayer-only experience, and the servers are pretty empty. On the other hand, you won’t have this issue with Minecraft. There are plenty of servers online at any given time, but you can also go nuts if you don’t want to have any interactions with real people.

On the other hand, when you make a game like Sky Nations that imitates what Minecraft is doing, you also make sure that you don't repeat any of the mistakes. The developers of Sky Nations from the Damaged studio learned from the lessons taught by Minecraft, and it’s clear that they took into account all kinds of common features.

Gameplay

Sky Nations takes place in a world where the entire land mass has been destroyed, so everyone is up in the sky building massive ships that can be used for offensive purposes or just to make a home.

Since the entire world is online and persistent, it means that you will never be safe, with the exceptions of a few individual zones. Most of the time you’re going to have to defend from raiders, or maybe you’re going to have to be just as evil to survive.

As you can imagine, Sky Nations is designed with PvP fight in mind, so it should be too difficult to pick a fight. Also, as the name of the game suggests, people are encouraged to join and form nations, which are much easier to defend.

Sky Nations is built on a voxel-based engine. Normally, these kinds of engines are great when it comes to delivering great graphics, but in the case if this game it suits just fine and the performance is excellent. It’s also worth noting that the game was still in Early Access when this review was published, so things might change when Sky Nations are stable and finished.
