The I of the Dragon
THE DRAGON’S LEGACY
The world of Nimoa is as beautiful as the morning dew, but only at first glance. Under the surface of hills and fertile valleys lurks an old and eternal evil. Living as a mould, stretching threads through an infected area like deadly toadstools. The center of this “being?” deep in the under world is the giant daemon, Skarborr.
GAMEPLAY
You, the player, take the role of the young, inexperienced dragon. In the role of the savior of Nimoa you move through the skies and faces all the challenges of the evil Skarborr. At the beginning of the game the player has the choice of three dragons: Annoth The Fire Breather, Barroth the magician and Morrogh The Necromancer. All three are different and all three have their own ways of dealing with the great many adversaries you will meet. You also develop the dragon’s combat abilities throughout the game to deal with the increasingly tough and resilient enemies, until you meet and conquer Skarborr himself.
That is not all, you will also need to control other characters and complete important tasks on the path to overall victory: a warlord and his steed on a potentially fatal fact finding mission, the thoroughly competent hunter on a mission of delicate accuracy and selective killing and the three huge creatures and their riders in an attempt to destroy magical generators keeping the dragons away from the next big fight.
Through 12 enormous and differing geographical areas the task is not only to hunt and destroy despicable monsters, but to build, maintain and defend human settlements. A dragon’s individual character, breathtakingly fluid graphics and addictively exhausting aerial combat bring you many hours of sometimes sweat generating gameplay.
You will also fall under the spell of “The I of the Dragon” with its mystical atmosphere, impressive sunrises and colorful but ominous sunsets, for who knows what the night will bring.

I'm just happy that I found this childhood gem again, Most importantly it remind me of the era which games were made with cool ideas and just trying to make something people would enjoy. It's seriously dated but it was phenomenal experience on my cousin potato PC back then. The only game you play as a dragon with RPG leveling up and skills system, protecting the town and help building stuffs is very cool too.
P/S: I love fully grown Morrog, he look so cool, black necromancer dragon, he's a bit weak at beginning tho.

This is such a gem from the past.
While the graphic is old, the control rather clunky, and that one mission is frustating, but the gameplay itself is blast. Early game is pretty slow, once you got some stats and few towns to protect it can be challenging.
Full game is pretty quick (around 10-20 hours) but there are 3 different dragons so it can be replayed again.
Overall this game is one of my favorite back then, respect to the team who brought this game to life. Hopefully more dragon games can follow this old but gold game.

Playing as a dragon is unusual — you fight, destroy settlements, and level up your abilities. The graphics are simple, and the controls can be buggy, but the thrill of flying and destruction is worth it.

Horrible Pathfinding, horrible voice acting, tedious mission, repetitive gameplay. But it's fun.

You're a dragon, and you mess things up with your dragon powers. I feel like the Wonder Twins would have been a stronger duo if they could have turned into a dragon instead of silly things like mops.
