Take flight in this remastered 'stick control era' aerial combat RPG. Explore haunting landscapes, engage in epic dogfights, and uncover ancient secrets in a visually enhanced, rebalanced edition of the BAFTA-nominated, award-winning original.
Imagine a world without land, covered by a vast ocean where only isolated archipelagos emerge. And above this floating world, falconeers riding gigantic warbirds battling in epic aerial combat. That is the world of The Falconeer, created entirely by a single developer, Tomas Sala, and published by Wired Productions. Five years after its initial release, the Revolution Remaster brings transformative visual improvements, revised flight controls, rebuilt animations and a complete re-balancing of the experience.
The Falconeer is an open-world aerial combat RPG where you pilot a majestic warbird, explore haunting aquatic landscapes, complete missions for different factions and engage in aerial dogfights against other falconeers, sea creatures and war machines. The game was nominated for a BAFTA and was unanimously praised for its originality and art direction.
We loved: The art direction and the world's originality. An infinite ocean under dramatic skies, luminous creatures in the depths, ancient ruins emerging from the waves: The Falconeer's world is one of the visually most singular in aerial combat gaming.
We liked: The feel of flight. Piloting a warbird in The Falconeer means mastering a balance between speed, altitude and energy. Dogfights are intense, fast and demanding, with aerial physics that rewards technical mastery.
Our highlight: The narrative depth. The Falconeer is not just a combat game: it explores political themes, faction conflicts and rich lore discovered progressively through missions and dialogue. Every faction you join changes your perspective on this world.
Our tip to help you: Manage your energy gauge as a priority. In The Falconeer, your warbird consumes energy to boost, fire weapons and perform evasive manoeuvres. In combat, the temptation is to give everything immediately, but a bird with no energy becomes an easy target. Learn to dive towards the water surface to recover energy in a low-altitude glide, then climb back rapidly to regain the height advantage.
Who is this game for? The Falconeer: Revolution Remaster is aimed at players aged 12 and over who enjoy open-world RPGs, original aerial combat games and titles with strong art direction. Particularly recommended for players seeking a flight experience that is both contemplative and intense, and fans of maritime fantasy settings.
