About Tale of Fallen Dragons
Long time ago, there were nine sons born from Legendary Dragon.
These untamed dragons had bullied around and caused massive damage to the land since their birth. To end this chaos, the descendants of Five Elder Tribes joined together and released a powerful imprison spell. Finally, the dragons were defeated and kept under the Fallen Dragons Temple.
Those stories of nine dragons slowly faded from people's memory after several decades. Yet in the dungeon beneath the Fallen Dragons Temple, a new legend just begun...
Game Features
is a Roguelike game based on ancient Chinese story. In the game you will experience:
----More than 180 different items, which will have even more combinations.
----Randomly generated maps, every battle is a new challenge.
----Various sons of the Dragon, none of them is the same, and none of them is like the Dragon you have ever known.
Origins
After we finished our last game, we`re considering how to make something special on Chinese Culture.
In other games and comics, such as Kongfu and the Four famous novels are already very common to see. But there is still a lot to be discovered.
Finally, we choose “Artifact” as our theme, and make our story based on “Nine sons of the Dragons”.
So, here comes Tale of Fallen Dragons, a different Chinese style game.
Hope you`ll enjoy it.

Abandoned game, however existing content is still worth picking up on sale if you're into Chinese culture.5 found this helpful
[quote][b]S U M M A R Y[/b][/quote] [u][b]Tale of Fallen Dragons[/b][/u] is a poorly-translated action roguelite dungeon crawler with procedurally-generated floors which has been abandoned by the developer. They seem to have disappeared in Q1 of 2018 after shipping a massive update which completely overhauled the game from its original idea, leaving it in an almost-finished state (85% according to their Early Access text). Overall, I do not recommend the game to non-Chinese speakers due to it being an unfinished, below average game and because it frankly doesn't stand up to the more iconic games in the genre such as [u][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/250900/The_Binding_of_Isaac_Rebirth/]The Binding of Isaac Rebirth[/url][/u] and [u][url=https://store.steampowered.com/app/311690/Enter_the_Gungeon/]Enter the Gungeon[/url][/u] which both set a high bar for the genre. If you're a Chinese speaker then you will be able to get a lot more out of the lore (and know what items do with more clarity) but I still wouldn't recommend the game due to the aforementioned reasons.

Tale of Fallen Dragons, developed by BigTapir Games and published by BigTapir Games in collaboration with XD, is an action-driven roguelike dungeon crawler that draws heavily from Chinese mythology and folklore. Released in 2017 and maintained over a long Early Access period, the game positions itself as a challenging, replay-focused experience where adaptability, mechanical skill, and knowledge of item synergies determine success. Rather than following the increasingly common Western fantasy or sci-fi roguelike templates, it establishes a distinct identity through its mythological themes and artifact-inspired aesthetic. The narrative backdrop is rooted in the legend of the Nine Sons of the Dragon, ancient beings whose destructive power once threatened the world. According to the game’s lore, the Five Elder Tribes sealed these entities deep within the Fallen Dragons Temple, a vast underground complex that now serves as the primary setting. Over time, memory of this catastrophe faded into myth, but the temple has begun to stir again. Players descend into its depths as unnamed challengers, motivated less by explicit story beats and more by the implied weight of legend and danger. Th…
Very good roguelike, on par with Isaac 👍
