Our take on Dragonkin: The Banished
The city is presented as a major part of the adventure, but its stated role is narrower: selecting development priorities, improving buildings, adding residents, and opening services. The game’s listed systems focus on hero combat, skill arrangement, gear progression, and dragon hunting.
What is Dragonkin: The Banished?
Dragonkin: The Banished is an action game about hunting dragon creatures and pursuing the Dragon Lords across a world corrupted by dragon blood.
Players choose from four heroes: Knight, Barbarian, Oracle, and Archer, with close- and long-range combat options. Battles provide skills that can be arranged with modifiers in each hero’s Ancestral Grid, while characters, equipment, and Wyrmlings develop over time. The campaign supports online co-op for up to 4 players, including the journey from the City of Montescail through endgame activities. Montescail also grows during the adventure: players set development priorities, improve buildings, add residents, and open equipment and character services.
