Many dark ages passed, but when all seemed lost, a ray of hope emerged once more: new sources of magic appeared, and new mages were given birth to across the planet. By using all their remaining magic to cast a powerful spell, they managed to keep their world in relative balance. Faced with the destruction of their entire civilization and life on the planet, the warring factions called a truce and tried to repair the damage – but it was already too late. After an adjustment period, I saw how this game could be very relaxing while keeping a tight control on the flow of a huge empire.”Īfter a devastating war between ancient mages, a powerful spell is all that holds together the shattered planet of Driftland. “I had a good time with the floating islands of Driftland, and its indirect control scheme is well compensated by a great AI and a smooth UI. It's an odd mashup of Populus, Dungeon Keeper and Warcraft in a colourful setting” You can fireball bridges and then steal islands from other factions, or carve up an enemy force with a lightning storm, or a tornado, or both. The lack of micromanagement also lets you concentrate on casting magic spells.
“It's a gentle gardening game where you nurture a city into existence, lassoing new districts with magic as you expand. “Driftland: The Magic Revival is a bit of a unique beast, being an RTS in the old mould of 'build stuff in real time and send units around to do war' Age of Empires style, but with several tweaks that makes anything but the basic buildings unrecognisable.”
