Dragon Saga (also known as Dragonica Online) is a side scrolling fantasy MMORPG published and developed by Gravity Interactive in October 2010.

Players get to choose between two playable races, Humans or Dragonkins and six available classes that include: Archer, Magician, Thief, Warrior, Shamans and Twin Fighters.

In the world that the players start their adventure, the former human hero named Paris and the dragon Elga have joined forces with one purpose, to spread darkness throughout the land. It is the duty of the heroes to face them and manage to defeat these two evils.

The first thing when getting into the game that players need to get used to and overcome is the complexity of the controls. As the characters gain more skills Dragon Saga assigns those in more and more keys.

Aesthetically there is an anime 3d style with the use of lighter and more saturated tones of colours. The good thing is that it does not become too chibi and manages to captivate the interest of a wider age range of players.

Gameplay wise, after getting familiar with the multiple skills that get unlocked the combat is intense and action oriented. A very interesting mechanic is the fact that when in a party players can chain combo their moves together that result in really powerful and explosive moves.

A great feature that Dragon Saga has, is that it allows players to have their own Home which they can customize and decorate so that they can invite their friends if they want to for a visit. Another feature is the equipment customization which is separated into three systems: socketing, soul crafting and enchanting.

Finally the PvP includes four different modes which are: Practice Mode, Ranking Mode, Battle Square and Emporia Wars. It is one of the most interesting side scrolling games I have played and it is worth trying it out to see if it is your cup of tea. Playing with friends will make the game even more fun, especially past the first levels.

Good

Growing up I had the luck to encounter the art of video games at a very young age in South Africa in 1990. I was captivated from the first moment I played video games from the educational math games at school to the purely entertaining video games at home. This love cultivated in studying Audio and Visual Arts, where I created the interactive audiovisual play in the form of a video game titled "The Life of Death". Over the last few years I have also been a videogame journalist as a hobby. Recently, I completed my Postgraduate studies in Games Art and Design at the University of Hertfordshire. My goal is to get into the video games industry and be a part of the creation process of video games.
