Cloud Pirates
Cloud Pirates was Allods Team's aerial combat game (published by My.com, released as "Pirates: Allods Online" in Russia), officially described as "an aerial combat MOBA with MMO elements" where players customized airships and fought in fast-paced 10v10 team battles above the floating world of Sarnaut. It's session-based lobby matches rather than a persistent shared world, so it's catalogued here as a related but distinct genre; the game shut down on September 29, 2017, less than a year after entering Steam Early Access.
