Our take on Space Dragons
The game’s stated scope is a focused shoot-'em-up campaign: 11 stages, 11 boss encounters, selectable ships, weapon upgrades, and local multiplayer. The alien-threat framing sets up a broader science-fiction premise, but the described play centers on direct combat and stage progression.
What is Space Dragons?
Space Dragons is a horizontal shoot-'em-up in which players choose spaceships with different characteristics and abilities to fight invading aliens from the Moon.
The game includes 11 stages and 11 boss encounters, with enemies that use varied attacks and transformations. Players can upgrade their ships and weapons as they progress, earning improvements and points by defeating enemies and bosses. Upgrade combinations change as stages are completed. The game also features local multiplayer, a large selection of weapons, animated hand-drawn pixel art, and explosive combat. Each boss has a transformation, while the alien threat is connected to powerful weapons and military technology taken from Earth.
