OK so let me talk about first the history of dragon view:

Dragon view is a sequel to drakken, a kind of unsuccessfull yet graphically interesting real time rpg from the snes era.

Drakken had issues with lack of compass, hard to get used to controls, armor that breaks and ridiculous difficult enemies that can kill you at the very start.

Dragon view semi fixes this by adding a compass, but you dont get a map right away of every place, and you will end up wandering around for what seems like forever.

I think actually the story was more compelling in drakken and drakken didnt have much story.To me actually:Dragon views story is extremely generic evil villain for the most part, except that he is doing this because he is angry his sister died of a disease and the gods didnt intervene.

Dragon view is still real time combat, but you see the monsters on screen like in FFXIII and if you run into them a fight begins.The difference between dragon view and drakken is immediate:Right away you notice you only control 1 character and the buttons control like zelda with 1 button for items 1 for your equipped weapon and 1 for jumping.When the fight begins, you will be jumping around and slashing your enemies.

Items:You have 2 different types of main weapons you can use:The hauza which is a kind of throwing axe and a sword, and thats it.3 different magic rings that allow you to use magic:fire ice lightning.You can get up to level 3 magic on each and you dont get different weapons or armor, merely you find some sort of upgrade orb that changes the color of everything.

The music didn't feel like anything special.

There is a compass but i feel like i got lost and the game felt pretty boring in its locations.Overall i think i like drakken more.

1-4

1:Avoid it like a plague.
2:Being i dont recommend
3:Being i recommend
4:Being recommend and get it now

I give this game a 1.I give drakken a 2
