Cloud Pirates vs The Falconeer
Cloud Pirates
Cloud Pirates is a breathtaking and exhilarating, arena-based, action MMO game where you'll get to play as a pirate captain of a majestic airship. Featuring an objective-based gameplay, Cloud Pirates will pit teams of players and their airships in the skies as they try to outmaneuver each other and shoot their opponents' hulls off. The ship customization aspect of the game is also incredibly in-depth and you'll even get to recruit crew to man your larger airships. The variety of game events give players a nice respite from the intense competitively-ranked matches as well.Despite its fantasy/sci-fi-theme, Cloud Pirates is a perfect alternative for players who enjoy piloting identifiable flying objects like planes and, in this case, airships. Has this game peaked your interest? Well, don't wait - sail the skies and around the floating islands of Sarnaut today and strive to become the best pirate captain there is!
The Falconeer
The Falconeer is a third-person adventure game focusing on aerial combat on the back of a warbird. Best played with a controller, the game features a massive, steampunk-themed open ocean-covered world to explore, thrilling dogfights to dive into, and quests to complete.The Falconeer features a massive open world that the player can explore to his/her heart’s content! There are many different islets featuring various points-of-interest like fortified locations, seachantress, and weaponshop that players can land on, but the most important one is probably the settlements. Here, players can take quests; buy stuff like weapons, serums to enhance your warbird, permits, etc from vendors; complete bounties, and even buy a new warbird once the pre-requisites (such as completing a time trial race within just 30 seconds) are fulfilled.
Now, in terms of combat, I’m a bit on the fence about The Falconeer. Personally, I find the controls in The Falconeer to feel rather awkward. Aiming is also very hard in this game, not because you have to aim ahead like what you’ll typically do in a tank-based game like World of Tanks but rather, aim at a fast-moving target. The crosshair will jump all over the place (if not disappear outright) during a dogfight. At one point, the crosshair disappeared entirely, turning my warbird into a sitting duck. Flying isn’t as stable as I’d like as well. Maybe this is done in the name of realism, but I’ve noticed that sometimes my warbird will dip and fly lower for no reason.
The Falconeer has some incredible, unique world-building complete with beautiful graphics and atmosphere. The only unfortunate thing about the game is probably the controls. It’s very hard to properly navigate your warbird, let alone engage in intense aerial combat when it feels like I’m trying to aim at fast-moving targets while being completely drunk. So, I’d say the game might be suitable for a more hardcore, high-skilled player base but not the average gamer.
