About the Game


Deathland Drifters is a 1-6 player co-op roguelike about piloting a hovership across a doomed alien planet. An endless rain of space debris has shattered civilization on this once thriving colony world and transformed it into a hellscape. Your crew of Drifters are stranded on this desolate planet, but one spaceship, miraculously intact, could be your last shot at escape.


As you fight your way through handcrafted environments, you can scavenge loot to upgrade your ship and weapons, creating unique builds for each run. Each weapon has a unique upgrade tree, and randomized loot can be combined to create unique builds for your ship!


Pick the hovership that best suits your playstyle and needs! Most hoverships can accommodate up to 6 players, but a select few compact hoverships are specially designed for 1-2 players.


Each hovership has its own set of weapons, abilities, and playstyles. Create different layouts or unlock new hoverships to keep every run fresh and entertaining.
