gameplay1 negative mentions
  • The game has a nice story and a decent plot that appeals to dragon lovers.
  • Despite its flaws, the game offers a nostalgic old-school RPG feel and can be enjoyable for those who appreciate indie projects.
  • The inventory system is well-designed, featuring a variety of unique and useful items.
  • The voice acting is poor, often sounding robotic and generated by TTS, which detracts from the overall experience.
  • The game suffers from numerous bugs, poor visuals, and a frustrating movement system that hampers gameplay.
  • Many players feel the game is not worth its price, suggesting it should be significantly cheaper given its current state.
  • story
    24 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The game's story centers around dragons, offering a mix of engaging lore and quests that revolve around helping or dooming these creatures, which many players find appealing. However, the pacing feels rushed, and the introduction is criticized for being corny and forced. While the narrative is considered the strongest aspect of the game, it is hampered by confusing quest markers and underdeveloped graphics and mechanics.

    • “Game is pretty much story-based and always circles around dragons through every map we play on, either by interacting with some dragon directly or by getting some lore by other means. This is by far the strongest aspect of the game, which I, as a dragon lover, just adore.”
    • “The handler of dragons is a brand new work-in-progress story-driven action RPG set in a mystical world where dragons, wizards, and trolls are a thing to behold.”
    • “Story feels rushed in terms of pacing and exposition, but nonetheless is nice and satisfying for what it is (just like the whole game pretty much).”
    • “After experiencing a very corny and seemingly forced intro quest, we very quickly dive into dragon business which entails either helping them out or dooming them.”
    • “Story feels rushed in terms of pacing and exposition but nonetheless is nice and satisfying for what it is.”
    • “Quest markers also seem to disappear in-game, and trying to follow the map to quest markers was also very confusing.”
  • graphics
    16 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The graphics of the game receive mixed reviews, with some users criticizing poor visuals, particularly in urban areas where excessive bloom effects wash out colors and lead to frame rate drops. Others find the graphics acceptable for a small development project, likening them to "Two Worlds II," but note that players accustomed to high-end visuals may be disappointed. Overall, while there are some redeeming qualities, significant improvements are needed in the graphical presentation.

    • “The graphics actually look very good, in a 'Two Worlds II' kind of way.”
    • “The first two things anyone will notice about the game are its movement machines and the visuals.”
    • “I might give the visuals a pass since this is a small development project and it works fine.”
    • “Graphics also look pretty bad in some areas, especially in the city where bloom is cranked extremely high with no way to disable that, which washes everything out in light tones of brown.”
    • “There are also constant frame rate drops unless you lower the graphic settings way down.”
    • “If you are used to and biased by high-end games with HD graphics, textures, sounds, etc., and feel those are absolute requirements for a game, you might want to steer away...”
  • music
    8 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The music in the game is minimal, with a lack of a dedicated volume slider, which some players found disappointing. However, those who appreciate a classic RPG atmosphere with a medieval fantasy theme noted that the background music, while sparse, is relaxing and enhances the overall adventure experience. Despite its limitations, many players still enjoyed the game and found the music fitting for the questing vibe.

    • “However, those who can enjoy a good old classic RPG feel, like medieval fantasy worlds and dragons, and are looking for a short but fun and enticing adventure, at the price it is offered, I would definitely recommend this little gem. I had so much fun playing it, and the background music is really relaxing, while at the same time putting you in that adventuring/questing zone.”
    • “There's no dedicated music volume slider.”
    • “Music and sound effects: well, there's not much background music here.”
  • gameplay
    4 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    The gameplay is criticized for its lack of polish, with users noting that while the story and concept show potential, the graphics, voice acting, and game mechanics require significant improvement.

    • “The story and idea would be good, but the graphics, the voice acting, and the game mechanics really need a lot of work.”
  • stability
    2 mentions Positive Neutral Negative

    Overall, the game demonstrates functional stability in both melee and magic combat systems, with users noting that parry and counter mechanics work effectively. However, there are reported issues with the fireball spell when using lock-on, which can lead to soft-lock situations.

    • “The fireball spell gets buggy with lock-on, which may result in a soft-lock.”
    • “While melee and magic options are functional, the game suffers from stability issues that can disrupt gameplay.”
