Press release:
Wiesbaden, Germany – 13th October 2022.
The Wiesbaden-based (Germany) indie games publisher/developer Assemble Entertainment and Hanover-based (Germany) indie games developer Sphere Games UG, are today very happy and thrilled to announce that the full version of their sci-fi city-builder “Sphere – Flying Cities”, is available for PC via Steam (there is a limited-time 40% discount via Steam at the moment) and GOG.

Set in the future on an uninhabitable Earth decimated by the moon’s cataclysmic destruction, what’s left of humanity is forced to head up and into the skies with wreckless abandon — the last and only hope of survival. The question now is whether the idea was too foolish to work, or whether mankind’s technological advancements will prove to be their salvation.

Described as “a gripping post-apocalyptic sci-fi survival game” by IGN, Sphere – Flying Cities combines strategy, simulation, and survival elements in an extraordinary and immersive scenario. Poised as Commander after a lunar armageddon, you’ll oversee humanity’s attempt to reestablish civilization by taking to the skies with first-of-its-kind anti-gravity tech.

The game recently underwent a major overhaul, rebalancing material utilization and implementing over 20 different resources to gather, mine, store, produce and keep track of, as well as introducing a randomized global map. It’s up to players to set mankind’s course to survival, but keep in mind that each decision made must weigh the lives of the last remnants of society at play. One wrong move can lead to potentially devastating consequences…and there is no second chance high above the clouds.

Key Features of Sphere – Flying Cities:

A City in the Clouds: Construct your city with numerous retro-futuristic buildings, utilize the resources available from the unique sky-vironment, and send out drones to harvest (sometimes rare!) resources and repair buildings to keep everyone’s head in the clouds

The Sky’s the Limit: The anti-gravity device and its deflector shield are the only things protecting the city from (un)natural disasters; maintaining it means the difference between life and certain doom

For the Greater Good: Assuring the safety of your city’s denizens is of paramount importance — tend to their needs by supplying food, healthcare, and shelter, as well as undergoing rescue missions. However, keep in mind that you won’t be able to save every building – nor every colonist.

Write Your Own Story: Each decision you make, turn you take, and building you create chronicles your own narrative in this compelling near-apocalypse scenario. Define your experience by the paths you follow and determine how your city’s story ends.

Developed by Hexagon Sphere Games and published by Assemble Entertainment, Sphere – Flying Cities is available now on Steam and GOG for £14.99 / €17.99. Learn more and add the game to your wishlist here.

Keeping in line with their philanthropic nature, Assemble Entertainment has partnered with Atmosfair, an environmental development organization that focuses on clean energy climate protection projects, to offer a unique Save the World edition of the game. Including a mini-artbook and in-game cosmetics, a portion of this edition’s profits go directly to the charity.
