Press release:
The Warsaw-based (Poland) indie games developer Star Drifters are today very happy and excited to announce that their immersive ARPG “First Dwarf“, is coming to PC (via Steam and GOG) and consoles (PS5, Xbox Series X, and the Nintendo Switch) in 2023.
Dwarves are well known for their perfectly groomed beards and remarkable engineering skills. However, there aren’t many stories about their optimistic nature and truly brave hearts! Star Drifters 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, in the new action RPG adventure First Dwarf.
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.
