I'm just happy that I found this childhood gem again, Most importantly it remind me of the era which games were made with cool ideas and just trying to make something people would enjoy. It's seriously dated but it was phenomenal experience on my cousin potato PC back then. The only game you play as a dragon with RPG leveling up and skills system, protecting the town and help building stuffs is very cool too. P/S: I love fully grown Morrog, he look so cool, black necromancer dragon, he's a bit weak at beginning tho.

Horrible Pathfinding, horrible voice acting, tedious mission, repetitive gameplay. But it's fun.

Ah the nostalgia. Crappy code, horrendous optimization, okay-ish graphics, GREAT GAME Being a dragon in open world RPG just feels great..., The city building aspect and switching into other characters seems as if the game was supposed to be way larger with more features and the release-date didnt permit that :/

Is this a good game? Not by modern standards, no. However, it does have several things going for it. 1. You get to play as an actual dragon. Not a dragon rider or a dragon in human form or another cop-out, a big, scaly, winged, reptilian dragon who flies around using magic and fire, frost, or poison to destroy evil (and abducting people and animals when hungry). 2. The gameplay loop is repetitive, but if you can overlook the clunkiness it's fairly satisfying. In particular, levelling up is rare enough to be rewarding yet also frequent enough to be a constant motivator throughout the game. It doesn't make the mistake many other games make where you level up 10 times in the first minute and then near the end it takes over an hour to level up once, which also means that you keep growing stronger steadily throughout the game. 3. The graphics are horribly outdated, but the developers clearly did, in my opinion, the best they could with the limited technology available at the time (which, for the record, is over 20 years ago). If you're a fan of traditional RPGs you'll probably appreciate the work done here. And last, but certainly not least, and in fact possibly the most important part: 4. It's an actual game. Even with all the flaws it's clear to me that this is a product from before greed overtook the gaming industry. Developers sat down for this game and asked themselves what people might enjoy. Not what would get them addicted, not what would keep them coming back to spend more money, but what would actually be fun and entertaining. Even the 4 quests where you have to play a human (which are all terrible) were clearly put in there because the developers thought they were important to the story or they would add some variation in between being a dragon. The latter of which is thoughtful but unnecessary. _____ So overall I recommend this game not necessarily because it's good. Its age is showing with outdated graphics, clunky gameplay, a story so straightforward as to almost be bland, and a camera which is constantly trying to get you killed. I recommend this game because it's from an era where games were meant to be fun. Even if it's only for 20 hours, because it's not a very big game. It starts out with an interesting idea ("What if you're a literal dragon going around slaying monsters and destroying lairs while protecting people") and then tries to make that idea work (flight, an abundance of spells to augment your natural weapons, a straightforward levelling system which lets you specialise your character). Overall, my recommendation is as much a criticism of the modern gaming industry as it is an endorsement of this specific game, but I would certainly encourage people to buy it (or at least wishlist it for a sale). I'd go so far as to say that a modern version which focuses on addressing issues born from technological limitations of 20 years past would possibly serve as an even better contrast against modern greed-based designs.

- Old but gold, one of the few Games where you can freely control a Dragon, which makes it top tier by itself. - Controls can be annoying at first but you get used to them Truly a great experience for all Rpg/ Dragon lovers out there
