Driftland is a fantasy strategy game set on a planet broken into floating islands after a war between ancient mages. You play as a Mage Overlord, rebuilding a realm and competing with other factions.
Use magic to move and reshape islands, then connect them with bridges to expand your territory. Explore for resources and build settlements across the scattered lands, balancing an economy based on resources and magic.
Develop your kingdom and set broad goals for warriors, archers, mages, and other units rather than controlling each one directly. The game includes campaigns, procedurally generated worlds, multiplayer, and flying creatures that units can tame and ride.
Players who enjoy the game often single out the unusual island-moving and bridge-building expansion, along with its relaxed pace and indirect army management. Some also like its bright presentation and familiar kingdom-management feel. Criticism commonly focuses on slow, repetitive progression and frustration with unit behavior and combat, while some players find missions and factions too similar.
