If you're expecting cinematic drama akin to the astounding cutscenes in Diablo II-or even something half as good-you'll be sorely disappointed. Naturally, the great evil of former times returns, and suddenly a dragon-that would be you-is needed to fight the forces of darkness.Ĭutscenes fill you in on this limp tale. After their victory, some shortsighted humans suspiciously turned on the dragons and drove them away, too. Humans and their dragon allies managed to destroy the wicked monsters infesting the land and banish their Sauron-style leader.
Once upon a time, a generic fantasy world was beset by evil monsters.
In short bursts it can be fun, but over the long haul it becomes a real snoozer. I of the Dragon isn't actually a bad game, just a strikingly unimaginative one. Beyond that, it's generic fare marred by numbing missions and repetitive combat, not to mention a wholly forgettable gameworld. It also requires you to do some tactical thinking instead of relying solely on brute force. Instead of letting you play as the typical barbarian or mage, this fantasy game lets you take to the skies as a dragon. I of the Dragon is an action RPG with a couple of things in its favor.
