About Driftland: The Magic Revival:

A long war between the mightiest of ancient mages led to a gigantic cataclysm, shattering the entire planet into scattered pieces. Facing the destruction of their entire civilizations, warring parties decided to call a truce and tried to repair the damage caused. It was, however, already too late. Using all the remaining magic resources they had, mages cast a powerful spell and managed to keep their world, Driftland, in a relative balance. Many dark ages have passed, but when all seemed lost, a light of hope sparked once again: new sources of magic appeared and the whole planet began to give birth to new spellcasters.

You become the most powerful among them – Mage Overlord with great power and great purpose. What fate will you bring to the planet – new devastating conflict or revival?

Free will of your subjects, tamable wild creatures (or Dwarven aerial machines) and rich lore (with four new languages created for the project) are only the tip of the iceberg – the game allows you to move floating islands created by the cataclysm, terraform, create or destroy them. You can reshape the world around you, gaining strategic advantage over enemies and securing your inevitable victory!

KEY FEATURES:

  • Move and terraform floating islands with magic
  • Procedurally generated world
  • Resources- and magic-based economy
  • Tame dragons or build Dwarven aerial machines
  • Set goals instead of controlling Units directly
  • Explore and fight on the same map
  • 4 intertwining Campaigns and Multiplayer (soon)
  • Powered by Unreal Engine 4
