About Floodland

About this game

Floodland has been relaunched with a complete code overhaul fixing all major reported bugs, PLUS some awesome new content, leaving you with a new world ready to build!

As well as core fixes, we’ve also introduced three new starting islands, bringing the total to four. These will randomly spawn when you start the game, making each experience different.

As you progress through the resource tree you’ll also find a new building - the Mushroom Picker Hut is the perfect way to continue develop you food supply.

There’s more! Law system updates, 10 new events, a new achievement on steam and 8 new clans all come to this game overhaul.

Dive in and start building your post apocalyptic worlds!

Unite Humanity - Shape Society

The climate change was a catalyst for a succession of events that led to the destruction of our world; rising sea levels have inundated the coasts. Only you can help humanity survive by leading your band of survivors on a path to redemption. Starting with a lost bunch of survivors, you need to scavenge resources, rediscover technology and maintain the peace between differing factions as you strive to rebuild society.

Explore and Exploit

The world - as you know it - has gone, replaced by islands, swamps and isolated groups of survivors. Gathering scarce resources, you need to explore the world - island by island - helping those you can and dealing with those who do not share your vision of the future.

Grow Your Colony

There's more to a city than just people. Food, shelter, water, health, security - the list is long and varied. Technology to be researched along a branching Tech-Tree, buildings upgraded and specialists to train. It's down to you to make sure all these needs are fulfilled; a job made all the harder with limited resources, space and labour to complete these tasks.

You Are the Law

A society is only as good as its laws; it's up to you to define them. Will you usher in a new utopian age of equality or is your future a benign dictatorship? Not every group shares your vision and the choices you make can have a profound impact on the future of your settlement. A common goal will make your society more productive than one at loggerheads with itself; you need to define and choose your legal evolution and which route to follow on the Law-Tree but - as with all things - there are always consequences.

Unlimited Playthroughs

Each game is different; maps, events and make up of the world are randomly generated, allowing unique playthroughs every time.

I took a calculated risk buying Floodland, fully aware of the mixed reviews and the recurring warnings about crashes and poor optimization. In hindsight, I should have done a much better job reading between the lines. This is clearly a Frostpunk-inspired city builder, just swapped snow for water, and sadly, polish for good intentions. Yes, the game is poorly optimized. That part is true, but oddly enough, it wasn’t the deal-breaker. I was running it on the lowest settings, staring at graphics that politely asked not to be judged, and I was fine with that. The real problem arrived about eight hours in, after discovering the powerplant, around day 408, when the game simply decided it had done enough. Building something? Crash. Sending an expedition? Nope. Progressing in any meaningful way? Absolutely not. At that point, Floodland stopped being a survival city builder and became an accidental social experiment: how long will a player stare at a broken game before giving up? My current endgame plan is simple: let all my settlers die so I can grab one last achievement :) After my first run ended in a spectacular display of crashes and broken mechanics, I decided to give Floodland a second chance. Surprisingly, this time I did manage to finish the game (by postponing discovering the powerplant after I had discover all the map - so no need for more expeditions). Victory? Not quite. What the second run really revealed was a different problem hiding under the technical mess. The game advertises an intricate social system built around different clans, each with their own demands, values, and conflicts. In theory, this should be the heart of the experience. In practice, I discovered you can almost completely ignore the clans, brush off their requests, and still cruise your way through the main storyline. So much for meaningful social dynamics. Add a couple of classic Unity crashes (just enough to send me back to earlier saves) and the illusion of depth quickly evaporates. It’s a shame, because Floodland clearly wants to be something special: a post-apocalyptic city builder with tough choices and social tension. Instead, it feels like a promising design doc that accidentally shipped as a finished product.
