Driftland: The Magic Revival
Driftland is a unique fusion of RTS, 4X strategy, and Sim genres in a fantasy world made up of scattered planet. Player takes on the role of a powerful mage-ruler capable of moving and reshaping parts of the planet. Both game mechanics and history are based on an innovative concept of dynamic topography and issuing orders to individuals with free will. In the face of the destruction of an entire civilization and life on the planet, warring parties decided to call a truce and tried to repair the damage. For that, however, was already too late. Using all the remaining magic resources to cast a powerful spell, they managed to keep their world in a relative balance. Many dark ages have passed, but when all seemed lost, a spark of hope shined once again: new sources of magic appeared and the whole planet began to give birth to new mages.

I had no game breaking bugs and only CTD 3 times in 100+ hrs of play time. Those 3 times was in a late game map when I had a massive island chain and more troops than i needed. Thankfully the save game system worked well and I could reload my save and keep going to finish that one mission. I had no more CTD's after that.
I liked the little touches the game had for each race and it was fun to play once I understood what to do to be able to support a large mounted army. The gameplay did get a little repetitive and the story tying it all together was ok.
Compared to many other games getting all the achievements was painless.
It goes on sale often and I do recommend Driftland The Magic Revival if you like RTS games. I don't agree with the 'RPG' tag just because its a Fantasy setting, but thats my opinion and I'm just an old fart.
Just watch a gameplay video to see if you'll enjoy it.

Good campaing, but last 2 mission explenation is very bad. Game it self is not balanced, some of the skills are useless. No value to play free game vs AI, coz it cheats or is not balanced. Its look like great idea. but unfinished game...

Driftlands is a really simple RTS game with some pretty unique elements to it. If you are a super hardcore RTS fan you might not be a fan of the game, but if you are newer to the genre or just a casual RTS fan like myself this game is absolutely right up your alley.

Fun and relaxing RTS 4X. Quite original in some ways, like expanding your empire by conquering neighbouring floating islands. Might be worth increasing the difficulty if you're looking for an actual challenge. It's not bad but it feels rather shallow. Lacks the depth of other games in the genre (Stellaris, Master of Orion, etc) that keeps you interested and wanting more.

Let's just hope that this investment for $0.00 is worth it.

Driftland: The Magic Revival is an exciting strategy game that is similar to the classic Majesty, but has its own unique charm of a fantasy world.
In the game, you will explore drifting islands, each representing a new territory for your kingdom. Unlock the fog of war to expand your holdings by drawing islands to your archipelago and building bridges between them.
