About The I of the Dragon

✦ AI summary

Soar through twelve vast territories as one of three uniquely powerful dragons—a fire breather, magician, or necromancer—battling the ancient daemon Skarborr and his infected minions across breathtaking landscapes. Engage in addictive aerial combat, cast over 60 spells, reshape terrain in real-time, control allied characters on critical missions, and defend human settlements in this expansive action-adventure with fluid graphics and immersive atmospheric world-building.

THE DRAGON'S LEGACY
The world of Nimoa is as beautiful as the morning dew, but only at first glance. Under the surface of hills and fertile valleys lurks an old and eternal evil. Living as a mould, stretching threads through an infected area like deadly toadstools. The center of this "being?" deep in the under world is the giant daemon, Skarborr.

GAMEPLAY


You, the player, take the role of the young, inexperienced dragon. In the role of the savior of Nimoa you move through the skies and faces all the challenges of the evil Skarborr. At the beginning of the game the player has the choice of three dragons: Annoth The Fire Breather, Barroth the magician and Morrogh The Necromancer. All three are different and all three have their own ways of dealing with the great many adversaries you will meet. You also develop the dragon's combat abilities throughout the game to deal with the increasingly tough and resilient enemies, until you meet and conquer Skarborr himself.

That is not all, you will also need to control other characters and complete important tasks on the path to overall victory: a warlord and his steed on a potentially fatal fact finding mission, the thoroughly competent hunter on a mission of delicate accuracy and selective killing and the three huge creatures and their riders in an attempt to destroy magical generators keeping the dragons away from the next big fight.

Through 12 enormous and differing geographical areas the task is not only to hunt and destroy despicable monsters, but to build, maintain and defend human settlements. A dragon's individual character, breathtakingly fluid graphics and addictively exhausting aerial combat bring you many hours of sometimes sweat generating gameplay.

You will also fall under the spell of "The I of the Dragon" with its mystical atmosphere, impressive sunrises and colorful but ominous sunsets, for who knows what the night will bring.

✦ AI summary

Players praise this old-school RPG for its unique concept of playing as a dragon with engaging aerial combat and exploration that still holds up surprisingly well after over two decades. However, they note the game shows its age with dated controls, presentation issues, and awkward human character sections that require patience to learn and some technical tweaking to run smoothly on modern systems.

For me, its a very unique old-school RPG where you actually get to play as a dragon, which still feels refreshing. Flying around, protecting settlements, and leveling up your dragon is a lot of fun, even if the game definitely shows its age in controls and presentation. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3705619015

Rating: 9.0/10 The I of the Dragon is a unique action RPG that gives players something rarely seen in gaming: the chance to become a powerful dragon. Instead of controlling a human hero, you take to the skies as a mythical creature, protecting the fantasy world of Nimoa while battling monsters and developing your dragon's abilities. With its unusual concept, open-world environments, and impressive aerial combat, it remains a memorable hidden gem even years after its release.

I remember playing this game on bootleg CD 20 years ago, Seeing this on steam store made the memories rush back to me, Couldn't even get past zone 3 back then. The gameplay still holds up even 22 year later which surprise me the most, It's even better than I remember but still have some quirk of old game design such as extremely terrible human section.

Childhood game, 10/10 for nostalgia. You have to invest time to fix issues on modern OS and learn the controls.
