Our take on The I of the Dragon

The bounce point arrives in the aerial combat: players who do not enjoy controlling a flying dragon while managing spells and increasingly resilient enemies may stop there, before the broader settlement and character missions become relevant.

What is The I of the Dragon?

Take the role of a young dragon defending Nimoa from the daemon Skarborr.

Choose Annoth, Barroth, or Morrogh, with abilities based on fire, ice, or acid and development toward battle, wizard, or sniper styles. Fly through 12 territories, each covering more than 10 square kilometers, while fighting increasingly resilient enemies and using more than 60 spells. The game also includes missions involving a warlord, hunter, and other riders, plus building, maintaining, and defending human settlements. Real-time terraforming can remove and relocate mountain ranges. Day-night lighting, adjustable time control, and slow motion affect how the world and aerial combat unfold.
