Powered by Unreal Engine 5, First Dwarf will test your survival and exploration skills in a fantasy open world, sprawling on islands floating in the sky. First Dwarf invites you to take part in an unforgettable journey across the floating lands of Driftland together with a charismatic dwarven engineer, Tru, and his adorable dragon, Ragna

Planet Driftland is no more - a war between mages of four races has shattered the globe into floating islands and the inhabitants turned into barbaric tribes. Amongst the desolation the dwarves prevailed, but not for long - resources are running short and the once great civilization is catching its last breath. In a desperate attempt to secure the future, mighty airships are sent to the celestial islands in search of materials to save the dwarven kingdom.

First Dwarf takes place in an open world that once was a whole planet, but a great war shattered it into drifting islands. Players will step into the shoes of Tru, a scouting engineer in a mech, who is tasked to explore unknown lands in search of a new settlement for the fading dwarven civilization. Accompanied by his dear friend, female dragon Ragna, Tru will gather resources, collect mana to fuel and upgrade his mechanical armor, build bases, set up their defenses, and engage in close combat with local fauna to accomplish his mission.

As the story unfolds, Tru and Ragna will uncover new secrets of the mysterious land. Their quest might take an unexpected turn when Tru discovers traces of his long-lost father, who once attempted to conquer the area, but never returned, and someone else... a powerful being that threatens the future of the dwarven kingdom.

The developers at Star Drifters announced that First Dwarf is now available on Steam Early Access for 24,99 USD/23,99 EUR with a 15% discount for two weeks after launch.

During open tests and demos, they have already seen how crucial the community support is. Star Drifters believe that together they can create a unique title. That's why the feedback provided during Early Access will be so important.

"We believe that Early Access is a powerful tool that allows us to involve the community in developing the game. Some of our previous titles were also released this way and we have many positive experiences with the program. The key here is honest communication between players and the team. First Dwarf is being created for players, so the opportunity to listen to their feedback and suggestions is incredibly helpful. Leading up to the version 1.0 release, there's a lot of hard work ahead of us, but we're looking forward with excitement to what the future brings,” said Star Drifters CEO Jakub Wójcik.

Living Road Map

We want to be transparent with what you can expect from our game in its current state. At first, you’ll get two islands in Early Access. Second island is much bigger and clearing it will take you more time. Our main next goal will be adding the third island.

Below, you can see the full Living Road Map. Living, because as we said, we'll be carefully listening to your feedback during the Early Access. If you believe that something needs to be changed or added and is not included in our plan, please tell us about it. Or if you think that some points from our map are more important than the others, tell us that too. We’ll be adjusting our plan to your suggestions, so that the game will develop with our and your expectations alike.

That’s why we’re asking you directly for your help. We believe that Early Access is a good step forward that will give us a boost for a further development of First Dwarf. Thank you so much for being with us and we hope that you’ll have a great time with us on this journey.
