Mac Release As we stated on the steam page, we plan to release the game also for Mac and have been pretty excited about this step. Unfortunately, the Mac version will take longer than anticipated and will be released about 4 weeks later than the Windows version. We are deeply sorry for all the Mac users, but we also want to make sure you receive a stable game, running on your system, and there are still a few challenges we have to master for a release on Mac. Controller Support We have been working on implementing controller support for the game and made good progress.

Short description

A classic MOBA game inspired by "Future Cop L.A.P.D" and "Herzog Zwei". Play as a strong mecha warrior to conquer the enemy base with your units. Defeat the legendary Sky Captain in single-player mode or compete against your friends or random players.

About this game

Information Because of the recent release of the game and the currently low playerbase, there might be no free lobbies in multiplayer. You can play single-player on 10 difficulty levels or get a friend and play the game together. If you want to play with randoms, we recommend you wait till the game has a higher player base. About the Game Become a strong mecha warrior in Sky Captain's Return and conquer the enemy base with your units. Defend your base with drones and attack the enemy base with light armored vehicles, up to heavy tanks. Occupy outposts as secondary bases to shorten the way to the enemy base. Capture neutral towers and destroy enemy units to earn points to buy new units. Call special units and use their unique abilities on the battlefield. Defeat the legendary Sky Captain, a tricky and deadly AI, with strong firepower in single-player mode or compete against your friends or random players in multiplayer and see who has the better strategy. Choose your weapon style With 3 different weapons per weapon type, each weapon offers a different gameplay experience and the opportunity for unique strategies. PvP or PvE Join a friend or random player and play against each other, or face the legendary Sky Captain alone and try to defeat him on 10 different difficulty levels. Different map styles Choose from currently 4 different maps and master the unique challenges of each map. Find your own strategy Thanks to a wide range of units, there are numerous options to make every game a unique experience. Find your own strategy and adapt it to each game individually. Leaderboard Try to defeat Sky Captain as fast as you can to earn yourself a place in the top 10 of the leaderboard for the fastest match of all level, and the fastest match on Level 10.

Price History Overview

USD uses SteamPulse's own locally recorded daily store snapshots, so this overview reflects the exact regional price history that SteamPulse has captured for this currency.

Coverage And Tracking Window

  • Snapshots: 1
  • Coverage: Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026
  • Lowest observed: $10.99
  • Highest observed: $10.99

Sky Captain's Return's USD price history spans from Sep 23, 2026 to Sep 23, 2026, with 1 recorded snapshot across 1 calendar day. Each row records the available final price, listed base price, and discount metadata for that observation. Within this coverage the lowest recorded price is $10.99, the highest is $10.99, and the first visible tracked price is $10.99. These comparisons apply only to the snapshots SteamPulse holds; missing observations can contain changes that are not represented here.

For USD, SteamPulse uses locally captured regional storefront snapshots and does not reconstruct older prices with exchange-rate conversion. The chart and table show the values recorded for this exact currency from the stated coverage start. Additional snapshots extend that record, but they do not fill unobserved days or prove what the storefront displayed between observations.

Discount Windows And Sale Timing

  • Discount windows: 0
  • Discounted days: 0 days
  • Deepest markdown: No discount tracked
  • Latest sale window: No sale window tracked

Sky Captain's Return's tracked USD rows do not contain a discount window. This means no available snapshot in the stated coverage has usable discount metadata; it does not prove that the game was never discounted. Missing snapshots or archived rows without complete metadata can hide a sale, so SteamPulse does not infer pricing strategy from this absence.

If a later snapshot includes discount metadata, it will appear here with its recorded depth, price, date, and sale name when available. Until then, this section should be read only as a description of the available rows, not as evidence about the publisher's promotion policy.

Observed Price Changes And Stable Runs

  • Observed price drops: 0
  • Observed price rises: 0
  • Longest stable run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking
  • Current run: 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking

Outside rows carrying discount metadata, the tracked price has not recorded a separate price rise or drop yet. That means the observed undiscounted level has stayed stable across the snapshots SteamPulse currently holds. This is a statement about the recorded coverage only; it does not prove that an older or missing price change never happened.

The longest unchanged price stretch in the current record lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $10.99, from Sep 23, 2026 through Sep 23, 2026. Among rows without discount metadata, the longest unchanged run lasts 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking at $10.99. The latest run records $10.99 for 1 day of uninterrupted daily tracking as the same recorded undiscounted price. Run lengths describe consecutive stored observations only and do not establish that a price is permanent.

Latest Snapshot And Sales Context

  • Current price: $10.99
  • Current list price: $10.99
  • Distinct observed prices: 1
  • Source mode: SteamPulse local tracking

The latest tracked snapshot records Sky Captain's Return at $10.99 in USD, with no active discount metadata. Across the available history SteamPulse has recorded 1 distinct final price in this currency. This supports comparisons with the lowest, highest, and most common values present in the retained record, subject to the stated coverage limits.

The live sales view and Steam sales record provide calendar context for these dates. A date overlap can be compared with a named Steam event, but it does not prove why a publisher changed a price. As new daily rows arrive, this overview recalculates its observed prices, discount windows, and run lengths automatically.
