About this game
Oriontis is a city builder set in a world of floating islands, where you decide where the frontiers fall. Build your colony from the ground up, manage its economy, command trade routes between distant ports, and navigate the schemes, alliances, and rivalries of the powers that rule the skies. The fate of Oriontis is yours to shape — and its history is yours to write.
Logistics buildings line the horizon alongside imposing port docks. Goods cross the skies, are stored, exchanged, and distributed in your city's ports. Trade with other cities, outposts, and even ephemeral smuggling enclaves, where you can find goods that are almost impossible to find in the kingdom's established trade.
Over one hundred buildings spread across eleven ministries shape a city that is constantly evolving and demanding new goods and services. Entertainment, military power, government, religion, healthcare, roads, housing, agriculture, logistics and trade, industry and raw materials, as well as decoration: each sector is key to sustaining and expanding your kingdom.
The constant threat to the kingdom: notorious pirates roam the skies in search of ships laden with goods to plunder. Keep them at bay and protect your trade routes. Building a city suspended among the skies is no easy task; you will have to contend with natural disasters such as storms and meteor showers raining down from above.
The King and the court of Oriontis demand that you perpetuate their legacy through majestic works entrusted to you. Carry them out by setting up production lines, organising specialised labour, and sustaining a complex process until such a construction is completed. The economy of your city and the spirit of its people will be put to the test.
Many buildings can be visited and enjoyed by the people of your city, such as religious altars, gardens, or market squares where shows are held. You can watch your town come to life and enjoy a well-planned urban design.
Build immense and powerful battleships, gather wood and forge bronze for your ships. Set up production lines to supply your shipyards. Buy and sell ships throughout the kingdom and increase their capabilities with special upgrades.
The far reaches of the sky remain uncharted territory. It will be up to you to draw new maps as you discover unknown ports, untravelled trade routes and hidden treasures. On your voyages, you will also be able to rescue shipwrecked crews and find forgotten enclaves, exotic goods and mysteries that will test your mettle.
Your decisions alter the course of history: who you choose as your ally, the spiritual order of Serenity or the holy order of Sanctum; whether you abide by the law of the Kingdom or risk negotiating in secret with pirates. Every choice shapes how events unfold — and your destiny along with them.
