Larian Studios Forums General Chat RPG Chat The I of the dragon

I think I have seen someone mentioned this game, but couldn't find that thread.

It is new RPG produced in Russia. In this game you take the role instead of traditional humans/elves/dwarves you become a dragon.
At the beginning you choose between three classes - fighter or mage or something else. It seems to be Diablo style hack-n-slash.

Have anyone tried it? It looks to be quite original to play as the dragon. Is the game really good? Pls. advise.

I tried the demo... had problems with the controls (keyboard and mouse), but that's just because I'm unco-ordinated! The demo goes through three map areas, with "quests" to clear the enemies and/or retrieve artifacts to help save human settlements.

Flying is rather cool, but the game is definitely for hack-and-slash fans. Lots of little nasties attacking from all angles -- this is mountainous country. Did find the capture and eat option rather amusing (if a bit sick...); the dragon needs to hunt from time to time, to keep up its strength.

You might want to try the demo. I didn't finish the third map, as I found the game far too combat-oriented for my taste.

Thank you Rince, I will try the demo. <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/up.gif" alt="" />

I played the demo to completion, but I doubt I'll ever get the game. It looks beautiful, I love the dragon controls and skill advancement system - but ultimately the game seems hollow, to me.

I got no sense of purpose behind the dragon's actions - no reason for him to be helping the humans. And the level of actual interaction with other creatures appears to be non-existent.

Beyond collecting crystals that give power ups, there isn't any sense of building up an inventory of useful items or anything like that, either.

A great gimmick - but judging by the demo, NOT a great game, IMO.

That sounds pretty accurate. Hack and Slash (or is that Torch and Burn?) it is, and not much else.
