About This Game

Pilot a dwarven mech and fly alongside a scholar dragon in this story-rich survival action RPG with base-building, exploration and tower defense mechanics. Build fortified outposts, fight off waves of enemies, and uncover the secrets of a shattered world in the skies.

First Dwarf combines action RPG progression, colony survival gameplay and strategic base-building in a fantasy world where islands float in the sky and magic is tainted. Play solo or team up in online co-op to survive the wilds of Driftland and restore the dwarven legacy.


Build your colonies across dangerous islands using turrets, walls, resource systems and defensive layouts. Plan your settlement carefully to withstand both enemy assaults and natural disasters like volcanoes or Taint storms.


Craft powerful upgrades for your mech, new gadgets, weapons, armor and defensive tech. Gather rare resources and unlock blueprints to customize your playstyle. Expand your workshop and invent tools to help you survive.


Survive in a harsh and mysterious world torn apart by magic. Battle mutants, manage scarce resources, and make meaningful decisions. Will you cure corrupted wildlife or purge it to protect your colony?

The world of Driftland was shattered by a war of mages. The dwarves are the last advanced civilization, but their time is running out. Sent on a desperate mission, you are Tru, the new First Dwarf, piloting a powerful mech and guided by Ragna, a scholar dragon. Your quest is to find a new future for your people and uncover the truth behind your father’s failure.


Explore ancient ruins, biomes and uncharted islands as you unravel the mystery behind the Taint. Discover secrets of the Eskoim, research lost technologies, and bring in other dwarven guilds to help reclaim the sky.

Take flight in your customizable airship to travel swiftly between colonies. Upgrade your armor, unlock abilities, and personalize your mech with cosmetic blueprints. From underground caverns to sun-scorched cliffs, the skies of Driftland are full of stories waiting to be uncovered.


Fight back against waves of tainted creatures using melee weapons, ranged tools, mech powers and your base defenses. Each battle is a test of your planning and skill, and every victory brings your clan closer to survival.

BUILD your colony, CRAFT your tools, EXPLORE the magical skies, FIGHT for your future, and SURVIVE against all odds.
Become the First Dwarf and forge your legacy.
