About Dragon Banner

Dragon Banner is a video game of strategy and building. It is built from the love of building blocks and real-time strategy games. Dragon Banner is created by one person over the course of seven years, working on it here and there.

In Dragon Banner you take on the role of a commander. You hire villagers to gather or generate resources, build defenses to protect them, and hire an army to fight alongside you. You will customize a town as your headquarters, where you take on quests and purchase equipment to alter your command style.

The Skull Queen controls all the land, but her skeleton army is full of bullies. Play as Arc and recruit villagers and warriors, uniting under the dragon banner. Arc shares an unusual bond with a dragon spirit. Discover what became of dragons! If you show strength, the people will rise up with you. Build a town as your base of operations. Embark on a campaign to overthrow the Skull Queen, gaining new allies and tools along the way.

Features

  • Experience a story. Discover the fate of dragons as you wage a campaign against the Skull Queen and her army of skeleton warriors.
  • Take direct control of your commander. Choose to collect resources, hire workers, hire soldiers, build defenses, or to take part in battle directly.
  • Don't do it alone. Hire miners and villagers to grow your resources.
  • Choose your strategy. Hire Knights to patrol the land, or take a defensive approach and build walls and hire archers to defend your villagers. Unit types with their own behaviors provide strategic variety.
  • Build. Unlock blueprints to build room frames, walls, doors, and more. Combine them to make unique creations. Build Tech to upgrade and assist your army.
  • Start a town. Create a town as your headquarters. As you progress through the story, you unlock new town blueprints to build. Your town will grow and bring in recruits and merchants.
  • Equip your commander. In the course of the story, recruit merchants. Place their shop in your town and buy new equipment for your commander. Not only does it change your appearance, equipment affects your command style by offering bonuses to you or your entire army.
  • Keyboard Only mode. Ever want to play in a café but you don't want to drag your mouse around with you? Toggle Keyboard Only mode in the game options and use the p/l/;/' keys to move the camera and menus, replacing the need for a mouse.

WOW GUYS/GALS!!! Remember when you first started playing video games and you got into the fun adventures and were happy? This is how this game feels to me, its super good. Its great gameplay.....Lots of quests, gathering, building buildings and armies. cool story, skirmishes, all good stuff. Impressed with this game, I really am. 20.00 dollars is a little much maybe, more a 14 dollar I would think, but I am glad I got it. Also as you play it opens up more and more, like you are working towards a goal, I like that. I will say there are glitches here and there and graphics are not tops, but I can overlook it cause the game is cool.

I have a soft spot for indie games, and this title certainly seems as a labor of love, as a personal project to build the game the developer wants to play, and as such, might not be for everyone. The game is a fairly simple hybrid of diabloesque ARPG controls, minecraft like basebuilding and hands off RTS (you "build" units that have a pre-set behaviour that you don't control, ie, "knights" will roam and chase enemies, "guards" will stay in an area and attack enemies that enter it, etc; which is not the coolest way to handle RTS imo, but it works). I do feel the game is overpriced, you can get way better titles on that price range, buy on sale. I appreciate the Linux native build. To the dev: you should be able to have knights and archers follow you or stay in an area on command, imho.

This game was in development for 7+ years, had a Kickstarter, and has recently started going on sale at a low price. At first glance, you may think it's a Minecraft clone, but that is not the case at all. This is actually a combat-heavy kingdom management game. Pick it up if you like a good RTS. Pros: [list] [*]On a mechanical level, a near-perfect medieval 4X RTS [*]Melee anybody that gets in your way [*]Lots of polish on the rendering code makes it run smooth as butter [*]Only 1.1 GB on disk [/list] Cons: [list] [*]Fixed 720p screen resolution [*]Bad music (PROTIP: Turn it off and you'll have a better time) [*]Childish writing (dragons, Skullmen, "greatful", etc.) [*]Jank [/list]

I bought this to support the developer because I wish there were more games like this out there - games where you directly control a hero while also building a base and ordering units. This is kind of the perfect version of that kinda game but with every mechanic at its most basic level. I'd recommend if you want to see more games like this, and I hope the developer continues to update it or work on a sequel or something similar. There's some real charm to this game, and it is pretty fun for a while, but needs more features to really be worth the asking price. Even adding co-op/pvp would drastically increase the amount of content here.
