You play a Dragon Slayer whose path leads to the power to become a dragon. This third-person fantasy action RPG follows your journey through Rivellon, where you take on quests and face enemies as both a human and a dragon.
Explore connected regions, including forests, ruins, and settlements, while taking on main and side quests, finding hidden areas, and making choices about how to handle some objectives. Reading characters’ minds can reveal information and secrets.
Develop your character by investing in skills rather than following a fixed class, and use the Battle Tower as a base of operations. You can also assemble a summoned creature from body parts collected in battle. Developer’s Cut includes the Flames of Vengeance expansion and a developer mode with console commands.
In the supplied reviews, players often enjoy the unusual shift between human combat and dragon flight, along with exploration, side quests, memorable characters, and humorous dialogue. Some also praise the music, atmosphere, and character-building options. Others find the combat clunky or repetitive, and technical instability on modern systems is a recurring complaint; opinions on the dragon gameplay vary.
