You assume the role of Tru and throughout your adventure, you’ll find out more about Tru’s past - particularly regarding his father.

Alongside this, you’ll build colonies, develop new technologies and weapons, and fight “tainted” enemies.

Best of all, you don’t have to go on this journey alone. You can co-opFirst Dwarfwith a friend in assist mode.

“​​Planet Driftland is no more. A mage war has shattered the globe into floating islands and turned the inhabitants into barbaric tribes. Amongst the desolation, the dwarves alone prevailed, but not for long,” the synopsis teases.

“Resources are running short, and the once great civilisation is breathing its final breaths. In a desperate attempt to secure the future, they send the First Dwarf in a mighty airship to the celestial islands in search of material to save the once powerful dwarven kingdom. Unfortunately, he went missing, failing his quest and disgracing his family.”

“Many years later, you take control of Tru, the new First Dwarf, and Ragna, a scholar dragon that aids the settler with her knowledge. You embark on a mission not only to find better lands for your Clan, but also to restore Tru’s father’s good name and carry on the legacy.”

First Dwarf’s demo is now live over on Steam. The game will enter early access on 19 June, at a cost of £20.99.
