Description

Driftland: The Magic Revival is a unique real time strategy game, building both its mechanics and story around the innovative concept of manipulating fragments of a shattered planet - moving, terraforming and connecting them with bridges to achive victory! A long war between the mightiest of ancient mages led to a gigantic cataclysm, shattering the entire planet into scattered pieces. In the face of destruction of their entire civilizations, warring parties decided to call a truce and tried to repair the damage. For that, however, was 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 spark of hope shined 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 a 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!

History

Star Drifters is an independent game development studio based in Warsaw, Poland.

The company was founded in 2014 by two industry veterans: Michal Sokolski and Krzysztof Jakubowski. During a career that spans nearly two decades, they’ve worked on numerous titles for all major gaming platforms and gained extensive direct experience in game development and management. Prior to Star Drifters, in 2000 they founded an indie game studio called Tatanka. Two years later, they started (as co-founders) CI Games (City Interactive), the company behind such games as Lords of the Fallen, Sniper Ghost Warrior, and many others. Star Drifters’ mission is to create engaging, challenging, and highly replayable games, that will remain in players’ memory for a long time.
