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.
