The story content actually ends at the end of grade four leaving the rest of the experience for just gear grinding.Īctual new content and progression are doled out very slowly. By the time I reached grade 3 of 10, I was already starting to feel bored with the game. Crash and Burn:ĭrifting Lands has a great gameplay loop of completing missions to earn better gear, but it’s not enough to sustain the game over the many, many levels. So far Drifting Lands sounds amazing, but the game can’t manage to bring it all together for a satisfying experience. Going up in grade will raise the number of enemies, loot quality and overall difficulty. Going through the game will unlock new grades of difficulty up to 10. If you turn that off on normal mode, you will essentially be playing hardcore mode for the game where you can lose your ship if you die. One passive allows you to automatically retreat from combat if your ship is destroyed. As you progress through the game, you’ll be able to buy higher class ships that allow you to put more stat points on them.īesides gear, you can assign six skills to your ship to use in combat four active and two passives. Higher tier gear will require you to meet the pre-requisite of the chosen stat or stats. You have three stats: Power, Navigation and Structure. Credits are the game’s currency, and are used for buying new gear as well as upgrading your ship. Just like other Shmups, the different weapons have different firing arcs with all the popular ones included. For a different touch, gear will feature flaws that act as a price for using that specific piece. Gear comes at different rarities that affect passive bonuses. You can equip different weapons, thrusters, armor and more. Leveling Up:ĭrifting Lands features procedurally generated loot much like in an ARPG. What makes the game so different comes after you’re done with a mission. The most common objective is to survive an entire section while battling enemy ships.

The last free humans now live on a massive ship called the ark and send out pilots to patrol and fight back against robots, cults and more. It’s a fast and fun read and I just had so much fun reading it.The story of Drifting Lands follows the world being destroyed, with the remaining land masses now floating in the air. If you enjoy Fantasy or Sci-Fi, I would definitely suggest giving this a chance. This is a book that I would very highly recommend and is one that I will happily re-read multiple times. “It’s hard to write a good review of this book because the entire time I was reading it, I was just having so much fun and couldn’t put it down… I already know several people who I’m going to make read this when it comes out, and I can’t wait on the next book. You want to read it - not just to find out what’s going to happen next, but because it’s written in such a way that you just want to be reading the book, like a having a glass of iced tea on a summer’s day.”
“This is a fun read - the pacing, the tone, everything makes this feel like the adventure films and books that I grew up on. This sword and sorcery space adventure stands apart from everything else currently out there in the SFF market.” “No one who reads Skyfarer will ever accuse Joseph Brassey of being hip this novel is so unabashedly dorky, it reads like something dreamed by a Mountain Dew guzzling twelve-year-old hooked on Star Wars and Final Fantasy. “ Skyfarer ended up being just about everything I was hoping it would be.”

“A richly imagined story full of soaring adventure, dark intrigue, and characters you’ll fall in love with.” – Stant Litore, author of The Zombie Bible series “Brassey’s writing is an adrenaline dump in page form.” “This book has one of the best covers I’ve seen all year, and it’s incredibly accurate in its depiction of the characters and mood of the story. – Mark Teppo, author of Earth Thirst and Silence of Angels Brassey raises the bar for everyone else. “To say that Skyfarer was Firefly meets the Battle at Helm’s Deep would be to dismiss the amazing world-building that Brassey wraps us up in, or to gloss over the intricate and intense battles we are thrust into, both on high and up close. “One of those remarkable books that consists entirely of ‘the good parts.’ Nonstop fun with unexpected moments of real pathos.”
