Slay the Dragon!
‘Slay the Dragon!’ is currently a finalist for The Rookies and the Student BAFTA Awards!
“Slay the Dragon!” is a 3rd year student project from The Animation Workshop in Denmark.
SYNOPSIS
When Maj wishes for her little brother to disappear, a dragon swoops down to abduct him. Now, in order to rescue her little brother, Maj must traverse a fantastical landscape, overcome mighty foes, and ultimately reach the dragon’s lair in order to slay her nemesis.
“Slay the Dragon!” is an isometric hack and slash game inspired by old school adventure games and the Swedish countryside. It is a fun game with a gorgeous artstyle, beautiful music and an overall mood of nostalgia. “Slay the Dragon!” is a game suitable for all ages, but more importantly, it is targeted towards anyone who wishes to re-experience the wonders of childhood imagination.
EXPLORE
Explore a fantastical landscape – golden fields, deep forests, waterfalls, high mountain peaks and treacherous caves – as you fight your way to your arch nemesis, the Dragon
COMBAT
Use an array of combos to defeat every enemy daring to stand in your way – from tiny chestnuts to enormous stone giants!
COLLECT
Be sure to pick up every juicy hallon berry you come across – perhaps collecting them all will change something at the ending?
EXPERIENCE

Even though it's just a student project. I'm honestly surprised by the game itself; the graphic is cute, and the gameplay mechanic is fun too. It would be perfect if it had save-game features. Good game.

Incredibly impressive! and free? Easily worth a few bucks. If more content def worth more. Perfect palette cleanser during or after a long game. That being said.... why is one of the little boys wearing a dress?? Is it really necessary to push that sh*t in what is essentially a kids game.... I take it back, free is the right price.

Its a cute little game. Almost like a little kids version of a souls like? Its extremely short. I beat it in about 20 minutes. If it wasn't free then i would not recommend it. Its too short and simple. It seems made for kids but i cant imagine even a child would stay engaged after 1 or 2 play-throughs. It's more like a very basic demo or proof of concept game.
I cant understand other reviewers complaining that the checkpoints don't work. Did you need them? lol.
Found out that the game was made by students. Which definitely explains things. Considering that information, it's very well done for what must have been a very limited development time by student developers..

Sweet little game, I did end up not using any of the attacks besides ranged and basic attack combo and it would have been nice if they menionted you can fall off map but it's still a nice experience and a sweet story.

It is definitely a fun short game to play if your'e trying to kill a little bit over an hour. I enjoyed this game quite a bit although i don't see myself replaying it any time soon.
