Dear Mage-rullers!🧙🏼‍♀️🧙🧙🏿‍♀️🧝

I’m Michał, the creator of the shattered world of Driftland. First, a huge thank you to our ❤️fantastic community❤️ for all the time we've spent together in Driftland: The Magic Revival. Your support has been incredible!

I’m excited to invite you to our next adventure in this universe. In First Dwarf, you’ll explore our broken planet from a new perspective—through the eyes of Tru and Ragna rather than a mage-ruler.

Before we dive into more, here’s the trailer we’ve prepared for the Tokyo Game Show 2024:

As you can see, First Dwarf isn’t a real-time strategy game like Driftland: The Magic Revival, but we’ve once again blended multiple genres to bring you something new. ⚔️✨

First Dwarf is an immersive action-RPG colony survival game with base building and tower defense 🏰 mechanics, set in a fantasy open world, sprawling across islands floating over the planet's core. The game will challenge your survival and exploration skills as you take control of two heroes, Tru and Ragna, equipped with a mana-powered mech and an airship.

Unlike Driftland, where your actions were from the perspective of a mage-ruler 🧙‍♂️, here you’ll have the freedom to explore the shattered world firsthand. Combat has also evolved significantly. You can now take direct control of the action, surrounding your villages with defensive walls 🛡️ and mana-powered turrets while also engaging in the fight yourself. Plus, First Dwarf offers both online co-op and local split-screen, so you can team up with a friend to defend your bases and explore together.

You can gather resources manually ⛏️, but as you build villages and recruit settlers from different clans, it becomes far more efficient to construct magically powered buildings to extract resources automatically. Just remember to establish a mana pipe network to power your structures and keep everything running smoothly!



We’ve wrapped what you loved about Driftland—the strategic depth, resource management, and defense—into a new kind of adventure that will test both your tactical and exploration skills.

If you're at TGS, meet us at Hall 10, Booth A09 in the Selected Indie 80 area. We’d love to chat with you!
And yes, you’ll be able to high-five both me and Krzysiek, our technical designer and lead programmer!

May your lands remain unshattered,
- Michał of Star Drifters Team 🧙🏼‍♀️🧙🧙🏿‍♀️🧝
