Black Skylands is an open world top-down shooter video game developed by Russian indie video game company . The game was published by tinyBuild as an Early Access title for Microsoft Windows on 9 July 2021.^[1]

The game is set in the fictional floating continent of Aspya, revolving around the adventure of female protagonist called Eva. As a daughter of the head of farmer/gatherer clan called Earners, Eva is set to defend the land of Aspya from the terror of a band of raiders called Kain's Falcons and, at the same time, the phantom menace of mysterious creatures called The Swarm appearing from the storm. Billed as a "skypunk that combines elements of Open World, Sandbox, Top-Down Shooter and Action/Adventure", the game boasts the ability for players to customize their weapons and airship, build their base, reclaim lands and expand their territory, and explore dungeons, including randomly generated ones.^[2] Black Skylands has been described by reviewers as a mix between Hotline Miami, Sunless Skies, and Stardew Valley.^[3]^[4]
