In fights, you have access to up to 14 unique abilities to defeat your foes. Gameplay consists almost entirely of turn-based combat. Unfortunately, the world in this arc is somewhat disconnected, without the same availability of exploration as in the first arc. Major improvements in writing also tighten the overall plot, and lead to some genuinely engaging and emotional moments. Most characters, including your own, develop a fuller, more rounded personality. Instead, the frequent clashes between you and the Rose, along with the rise of other villains, provide many opportunities for both sides of the conflict to be heard. It might have a bumpy start, but the story continuously developsįrom here on, the plot becomes more nuanced, doing away with clearly marked ‘good’ and ‘bad’ guys. Aligned against the Rose, your character resolves to put an end to their heavy-handed ways. Their leader, Jaania, blames magic as the root of both previous conflicts, believing it to be the key factor that allowed both Sepulchure and Wargoth to devastate the world.Īlthough she does have noble intentions at heart, her organization often puts innocent lives at risk. In this book, a new organization, the Rose, has arisen and is dead-set on stamping out all traces of magic. This is overall a rather short, focused arc that sets up a good foundation for the events of Book 3, set five years into the future. ![]() ![]() You must stop his murderous rampage across the world. With the defeat of Sepulchure, a fiery new villain, Wargoth, arises, terrorizing the planet. Simple wandering will often lead to plot progression, lowering the need for a rigidly structured story. The world, on the other hand, is generally quite cohesive, and exploration occurs fairly naturally. Littered with simple humor, this arc has quite a light-hearted and jovial atmosphere.Īwkward writing, however, often inserts this humor into otherwise serious situations, dramatically reducing tension at some key plot points. In Book 1, you begin by obtaining and hatching your own baby dragon, before plunging into a journey to collect the eight elemental orbs before the evil Sepulchure can. Much of the story is told through cutscenes and text, providing a relaxing experience for those short on time or energy. There are currently three main story arcs or ‘Books’ as labeled in the game, and you can choose to begin from either the first or third, although the backstory and motivation of some characters may be unclear if you choose the latter. In-game currency can also be purchased, which is mainly used to skip some grinds and purchase some quality-of-life improvements. A one-time upgrade is available for those who wish to fully explore the turn-based combat. The main story itself is free to play, with care taken to ensure that free accounts can complete all fights in the story. To begin the game, you create a free account and make a character, customizing their appearance and choosing between three base classes: warrior, mage, and rogue.
