Star Drifters (@StarDrifters) has unveiled an exhilarating trailer for their captivating action-RPG, "First Dwarf," offering a glimpse into the game's rich narrative and dynamic gameplay. Alongside the trailer, they've announced an eagerly awaited demo, setting the stage for the game's launch on Xbox Series X/S, PlayStation 5, Nintendo Switch, and PC through Steam, GOG, and the Epic Games Store, anticipated later in 2024.

First Dwarf is an immersive action RPG colony survival with base building and tower defense mechanics, which will test your survival and exploration skills in a fantasy open world, sprawling on islands floating in the sky. By combining the key features of popular genres, First Dwarf engages players on multiple levels. The tasks undertaken jointly by the dwarf Tru and the dragoness Ragna should excite fans of action RPGs, survival and tower defense games. Another exciting addition is managing a personally built settlement.

Tru is a dwarven engineer sent on an important do-or-die mission. His task is to find an island that can be inhabited by other dwarves seeking refuge. However, the explorer's ship unexpectedly crashes on one of the islands, and the dwarf must fight for survival in the hostile environment. He is supported not only by a powerful mech that he personally pilots but also by an invaluable companion – the female dragon Ragna.

Building a colony and managing the settlers is another part of Tru’s job. With tower defense mechanisms, he can prepare his settlement for the worst. But it’s not all about survival - Tru will have to balance and fulfill the needs of new inhabitants, providing them with resources, shelter, and entertainment to boost their happiness. Only a prosperous society will allow our protagonist to pursue his own personal goal – discovering what evil taints these lands and what happened to the previous dwarven expeditions, including the one led by his father.

First Dwarf Features:

• Control dwarf Tru, pilot a powerful mech and fly with Ragna the Dragon, each with their own skills to upgrade.
• Build, optimize and look after your colonies.
• Upgrade, craft and discover new structures, technologies, tools and weapons.
• Fight tainted enemies by engaging in close combat and by building defensive turrets and walls in advance, preparing not only for monster waves, but also natural disasters.
• Heal tainted animals or purge the island of them - the choice is yours.
• Unveil the hidden secrets of Driftland and learn the truth about Tru’s father’s past.
• Embark on an adventure alone or with a friend in co-op assist mode.

In the demo, players will have the opportunity to explore and colonize the first of the available islands. They will get the chance to test the game solo or together with a friend in split-screen or online co-op, in which each player will be able to take control of any character - the dwarf or the dragon. Those interested in checking out the game can already add it to their wishlist to make sure they do not miss the important announcements and upcoming events.

First Dwarf will be available for PC and consoles, including Xbox Series X|S, PlayStation 5, and Nintendo Switch. The demo will be available on Steam from June 8th and will be part of the June Steam Next Fest.
