Drifting Lands fuses action-RPG hack'n'slash with horizontal shoot'em'up gameplay. Players control ships through randomly generated missions, tackling 100 difficulty levels by honing skills or optimizing gear. The game offers 70 active and passive powers like dash, area attacks, and time control, plus a deep item system with stat modifiers and unique game-changer effects.
Three ship classes suit varied playstyles: high-damage interceptors for bullet hell experts who rely on precision, or tougher vessels for builders who craft synergies between powers and equipment. This setup delivers replayability for shoot'em'up fans and hack'n'slash players alike on PC.
Imagine a Diablo-like game with the mouse clicking part replaced by an horizontal shoot'em'up core gameplay.
That's what is Drifting Lands in essence: first and foremost an action-RPG (Hack'n'Slash or however you may call this). Then and only then a different kind of shoot'em'up, accessible to a wider audience than usual.
Drifting Lands main characteristics are:
- randomy generated missions for replayability
- 100 levels of difficulty to climb with your skill or your ability to optimize your gear and powers
- 70 active and passive powers with various effects: dash, area of effect attacks, time control, etc.
- a complex item generation system with a lot of stat modifiers to optimize, unique items with "game changer" powers
- 3 classes of ships for different profiles of players
- Not your usual bland heroic fantasy universe

You enjoy the progressive design of a powerfull build through skills and inventory optimization ?
Your class will offer more resistant ships, able to put up with a lot more impacts. But if you want to shine, you’ll have to be smart in the selection of your special powers and how you create synergies with your equipment!
