Gameplay
Floodland is a city-building game, where players control a colony of people attempting to survive in a world consumed by flooding caused by climate change.[3] The player can choose between four different types of "clans", which all have their own unique advantages and outlooks on life.[1] The settlers that the player has can be assigned to construct buildings, collect resources, and perform expeditions for supplies.[3][4] As the player progresses, they can encounter other clans that have different worldviews and priorities than their own people. The player must introduce laws to ensure amicable relations between clans,[4] and prevent hostility, which can cause crime and unrest.[3] Stores of food and water must be managed by the player as they research new technologies and create relationships between clans.[1]

According to the review aggregator website Metacritic, Floodland received "generally favorable reviews" for its PC versions.[5] GamesRadar liked the story, city building elements, and UI, but was frustrated by the number of software bugs on launch.[3] Rock Paper Shotgun enjoyed how clans interacted and integrated with each other, but felt as though the player would spend too much time waiting for new technologies to be researched.[1] The Games Machine enjoyed the narrative, and lauded the game as less challenging than other city building video games such as Frostpunk.[4]
