Our take on Drakkhen
The store page foregrounds the dragon invasion and heroic prophecy, while the playable structure is more specific: real-time monster fights, palace mazes, and indoor puzzle solving. The premise gives little indication that navigating chambers and finding routes through interiors forms a substantial part of the experience.
What is Drakkhen?
Drakkhen is a role-playing game set on an island where dragon lords prepare to conquer the lands.
An emperor sends four heroes—warriors and magicians—to investigate the puzzle of tears and stop the invasion. The game combines three-dimensional outdoor landscapes with two-dimensional indoor areas. Exploration leads to encounters with monsters, which are fought in real-time combat. The heroes can also enter dragon-lord palaces and navigate indoor mazes made up of connected chambers. Progress involves finding routes through these interiors, solving puzzles, and defeating the Drakkhen’s minions.
