Take Control of Floating Islands
Driftland: The Magic Revival is a fantasy strategy game that blends RTS, 4X, and god game elements. Players take the role of a mage who can move, merge, and transform the lands drifting through the air. The title offers several gameplay modes, including a campaign and skirmishes.
The story is set in a world shattered by a great war of mages, which broke the continents into floating islands. In Driftland: The Magic Revival, players begin ruling a single castle and a small realm, aiming to build a powerful empire.
Players can choose from four factions. Each has unique traits and requires a slightly different playstyle. The gameplay is built on a system where players set goals for their units, which then act autonomously. Support comes from heroes who can fly, for example, on dragons. Success also depends on managing resources effectively, including gold, raw materials, and magic.
