Play through the classic quest as the kingdom’s worst hope in the Dragon Knight RPG. Slay the monster. Save the girl. Don’t drop your sword.
Made by a solo developer, Dragon Knight is a RPG with retro vibes that does not take itself too seriously, but still has many elements you might expect to find in other games; swing the sword, kill the things, gain experience. Hack and slash (and trip and flail) your way through typical foes such as orcs, witches, demons, and of course, a dragon.
The story features various endings (some perhaps more satisfying than others) depending on the choices you make. When it comes to difficult decisions or the situation calls for brains over brawn, don't look to the protagonist for any help, but rather the opposite. Remember, in order to confuse the enemy, you must first confuse yourself!
Gameplay
Dragon Knight is essentially a boss rush game with a little story, shenanigans, and buffoonery in between boss fights. There are over 30 collectable hand painted tapestries featuring dragon-themed artwork hidden throughout the game, along with an optional puzzle and minigame or two.
Combat is fairly straightforward and consists of timing when to attack, block, dodge, or risk a combo attack for extra damage. There is a basic talent tree, and various weapons and shields you'll find along the way with abilities of their own may shake up your strategy. Boss encounters can be difficult; just remember not to stand in any fire and you're halfway there! Livin' on a prayer...
