About the story
The planet of Driftland was never a peaceful place. Divided into parties fighting each other for power and lordship, it kept on going… until war between the mighty ancient mages reached a point at which the colossal widespread destruction of all the civilizations and life became irreversible. Enemies had to become allies in order to save their world from falling apart. They used all the magic they were able to gather… but the planet crumbled into pieces, which formed islands. The mages managed to cast a powerful spell to keep the world in balance. Dark times followed. Ages have passed, and it seemed there was no chance for a better future… But then a spark of hope broke through the darkness. New sources of magic appeared on the planet of Driftland. The conflict between the mages began anew – and war erupted again. You want Driftland for yourself. You would be the best ruler after all, wouldn’t you? You are a mage overlord, with your own castle, tower, and a small realm on one of the islands. Now is the time to build your own future – an empire that will be unstoppable. Expand your kingdom by joining more and more islands together to wield all the power in your hands.

Critic Reviews
Wccftech
By Chris WrayDriftland: The Magic Revival offers an interesting turn on strategy games, both with a unique setting and interesting hands-off control system, which can offer some especially compelling gameplay online and in a skirmish. However, despite the interesting setting, too little is used from it in what is an anaemic at best campaign and a very much limited and shared asset pool between factions. Despite these issues, there is an enjoyable time to be found here, especially for strategy fans.

By Codi SpenceDriftland: The Magic Revival is a mix of RTS and god game that focuses on the realm of magic. The indirect control of individual units and their free will can lead to insubordination, which ruins the fun. Planning out your moves is the key to success.
