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
Make sure to take your time and enjoy the gorgeous vistas, accompanied by music composed by Tobias Dahl Nielsen and Lasse Skak Ernst. We hope that you will enjoy the story as much as we did when creating it. Happy adventure!

Great game, lovely art style, wish it was longer, managed to complete it in 30 minutes, an hour long would have been better.

Good little game. The visuals reminded me a bit of Tunic.
And a nice reference to Celeste at the end as well.

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..

Fun little game that you can play in 30 mins or less. Definitely shorter than I was expecting but loved the combat system and the different moves you could do while all being easy to learn!

- good looking cozy game
- a bit short took me 0.7 hrs to complete without rushing

- kick back relax and enjoy
