You’re a somebody aboard this ship, and you’re approached to be a fighter pilot by a guy named Thor. Initially, the levels were definitely visually enthralling, but the level designs are too frequently repeated, so, unfortunately, the effect didn't maintain itself throughout the game.Not to sound like a broken recorded given I mentioned this in my previous review, but the introduction to this game was a little boring.
The backgrounds were both simple and aesthetically pleasing, and I enjoyed stuff like the billowing clouds that drifted over distant peaks or riding through a lighting storm as I ripped through countless opponents. Best of all were the backgrounds and ship designs in combat. Drifting Lands takes place after a cataclysm destroys the world.

There is a lot that is done well with the gameplay, but there are definitely some glaring weaknesses that detract from the game's full potential. There are points of crushing difficulty, but I found that the ability to heal and just let enemies fly off the screen took me out of the pilot's seat on many occasions. I often found that I could easily just avoid enemy encounters if I had to, and I could survive, whereas I wanted the combat to feel more immediate. The bombastic explosions and relief of overcoming a foe are often diminished in Drifting Lands, though I did really enjoy the frantic moments where I had to use my abilities in a chain to survive the onslaught. The guns are underwhelming, and you usually need to lock onto an enemy and hold for a few seconds before it blows up. The controls work well, and I really enjoyed tinkering with new parts and abilities in combat, but after playing through a few missions, and having to grind a little bit to improve my ship, I began to feel disinterested in the game, and I was playing the game more for how I could alter my ship between skirmishes rather than the combat, which is the meat of the gameplay.
