Airships: Lost Flotilla from developer David Stark and Metaroot has been announced for release on January 23, a bullet heaven survivor-like spin off from Stark's previous highly rated game Airships: Conquer the Skies.
It's a fun game and a good mixture of ship types and enemies that make it quite interesting. Enemies have different attack patterns you need to learn, and there's some huge boss fights as well.
The type of ship you pick and customise really affects you run as well. Pick the slow but powerful Battleship, the nimble Copter, or the Science Vessel with its railgun and energy shield. You build up a strategy around each of their strengths and weaknesses. As you progress through a run you improve your ship with new weapons and upgrades to find some fun combinations.
There's a demo available with Native Linux support, which went through a small update to mark the release date being announced. Also a new trailer you can watch below:
