    Choose to be a vicious Buccaneer or an infamous Viking and take a glider to the skies. Your goal is to drop enemy vessels and secure dominance of the ancient North. Fire cannons, help others, board enemy ships or be the captain whatever it takes to get your enemies out of the way. The success, as well as the bitter defeat, is solely dependent on how well you co-operate with your crew mates.

    Finding the right kind of battle strategy is not self-evident in the merciless winds and twisted magic of the North...    … Expand

    An excellent idea, not perfectly realised but still ambitious and compelling enough to deserve your attention.

    What initially seemed like a fun way to kill a few hours has turned out to be a highly entertaining time sink.

    Air Buccaneers delivers one of the most rewarding cooperative multiplayer experiences available, but it's hampered by a rough learning curve and low server populations.

    A weak tutorial and little in the way of an intro makes it a little unwelcoming, but given time to learn the rigging and establish a team, the experience comes good. [March 2013, p.87]

    I love PC gaming – despite all the inconveniences it’s the only platform that offers such genuinely unconventional games. [CD-Action 03/2013, p.74]

    AirBuccaneers is an interesting concept that gives the term co-op an entire new definition. Sadly, the servers are sparsely populated which in return doesn't ensure very well-balanced teams.

    A really awesome and original game where you and your team fight the other team in an epic battle high up in the air. The leveling system isA really awesome and original game where you and your team fight the other team in an epic battle high up in the air. The leveling system is great. You can level in four different classes. Cannoneer, Defender, Guerrillas and of course the captain.

    You are not bound to a class but can choose what you want to be during the game. Maybe you're a defender trying to shoot out incoming cannonballs when a cannoneer suddenly dies, you need to take his place and shoot down the enemy ship.

    The battles can get really intense, and when you find yourself a good team the game gets really fun, and most players are nice and doesn't spam the chat with annoying and mean words. It's an indie game and is therefore not that expensive, so If you're looking for a new kind of game, I highly recommend this one.    … Expand
