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.

FEATURES

  • A choice of three dragons each with its own abilities, based on fire, ice and acid, developing either into a battle, wizard or sniper dragon. There are no limits to the possibilities
  • 12 unique territories representing various geographical areas: mountains desserts, forests and savanna etc. Each map has over 10 square kilometers to cover
  • More than 60 spells with special effects available to each dragon
  • Real time Terra-Forming allows complete mountain ranges disappear and reappear in another location
  • Static and real-time lighting ensure the correct lighting conditions to every day and night cycle
  • Fascinating sunsets and a night sky full of stars await you
  • The Time Control-Option makes it possible to adjust "The I of The Dragon" to your own speed
  • Slow motion mode with a fascinating effect

What Steam players say

Recent verbatim reviews from Steam — separate from playze.io community reviews below.

✦ 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.

A legendary game I played most of my childhood.

I wish there was a neutral option because this game is hard to review. Mechanically, it crashes frequently and if you don't complete quests exactly as intended you may accidently lock your save in story progression. I got to the part where you Find a Roadrunner and Defend the Town. Supposedly portals are supposed to open, kill monsters, then upgrade town. I had already upgraded town to lvl4. So now I cannot trigger mage to come and advance the quest. Locking my save sadly. But, damn is it fun. There are basically no games like I of the Dragon. You get to play as a dragon! I chose Morrogh the Necromancer. I love being able to cast spells and make a crater open underneath my enemies. I can raise the dead, leave a trail of acid, and create a wasteland. Never have I played a game that let me truly play a dragon. The graphics are dated but only add to the charm. The story is interesting. I would love to recommend the game. As it stands, there are too many technical issues to make me recommed it. However, if you are willing to suffer it's thorns the rose is beautiful.

The I of the Dragon occupies a fascinating place in PC gaming history. Developed by Primal Software and published by TopWare Interactive, this fantasy action RPG dares to answer a question few games have ever seriously explored: what if the hero of the story was not a human, but a dragon? Released during an era dominated by sword-wielding protagonists, the game instead places players in control of one of three ancient dragons tasked with protecting the realm of Nimoa from a growing darkness. Even years after its debut, the title remains memorable because of its unusual perspective and willingness to experiment with genre conventions. The game's story revolves around an ancient evil resurfacing after centuries of uneasy peace. Players can choose from three dragons, each possessing distinct abilities, strengths, and magical affinities. Whether favoring brute force, elemental mastery, or more tactical forms of combat, each dragon provides a slightly different experience that encourages multiple playthroughs. The narrative itself leans heavily into classic fantasy themes, featuring prophecies, cursed lands, and desperate kingdoms, but it benefits greatly from allowing players to exper…
