Skip it if you…
Saves you a refund- Players who want a tightly directed sequence may hit a wall when the game opens up into a large island to explore.

Our take on On the Dragon Wings - Birth of a Hero
The likely sticking point is the shift from the siblings' rescue story to a broad island activity loop: missions range from hunting and monster fights to ship attacks and village defense. Players who want a single, tightly paced rescue quest may lose momentum when those activities take center stage.
What is On the Dragon Wings - Birth of a Hero?
This story-driven RPG follows Bruce and Ursula, a brother and sister who discover a dragon and set out to rescue their captive father and defend their village.
The player chooses which sibling accompanies them, then explores the island of Sivashills, taking on missions that include hunting animals, fighting legendary monsters, burning enemy ships, and repelling invaders. Dragons can be ridden or flown, and their levels can be raised to improve their speed and strength. The game has 8 dragons, each with its own story and flame type. Players also gain levels and gold, which can be used to adopt bigger dragons. The open map includes forests, farms, villages, and valleys, with changing day and night, weather, and lighting.
