Dragon is Dead is an upcoming 2D Action RPG with roguelike elements recently announced by developer Team Suneat (Blade Assault) and its publisher, PM Studios.
PM Studios has revealed that Dragon is Dead will enter early access for the PC (Steam) as of June 7, 2024, and will be in that state for roughly a year. Early access will include eight chapters from the game, two playable characters, 180+ artifacts, hundreds of pieces of Equipment, 30+ legendary equipment items, and 25+ synergies.
By joining Early Access after the June 7th launch, you will be able to support the game’s development and influence its future direction. You will also be able to access exclusive content, updates, and rewards that will enhance your gaming experience.
The Steam page for Dragon is Dead is up, so you can wishlist the game. Here’s a rundown of Dragon is Dead, pulled from the Steam Page:
“All dragons who have challenged the gods have fallen, except for Guernian. The leader of the Dark Dragons, who has lost all of his kind to the Gods and has embraced evil, is corrupting the world with his rift.
Filled with rage and madness, you must become the Dragon Slayer who can stop Guernian. Slay Guernian and free the survivors from their suffering.
Defeat the twisted monsters and giant, terrifying foes that Guernian has created. Armed with a variety of skills and equipment, as well as dragon-tongue runes that amplify their effects, adventurers can take down any foe.
Don’t be afraid of death and take on the challenge to perfect your skills, master your abilities, and equip yourself with powerful equipment.”
Features
- Battle with Demons – Players face the demons of Guernian. Recognize their patterns and exploit their weaknesses to defeat them.
- Diverse Skill Builds – Experience different skill builds with unique characters.
- Equipment – Players can retain the power of their equipment and runes even when they die. Legendary equipment can be crafted by collecting and combining the runes from slayed demons.
- A Roguelite with the Tension of Choice – The artifacts you equip will trigger different synergies depending on the combination. Complete the best synergies for your skill build and you’ll experience powerful growth.
Action RPGs, especially those with roguelike elements, are some of my familiar types of games. I gravitate towards them. So, I’m already interested in what Team Suneat has planned for Dragon is Dead. Speaking of which, Dragon is Dead will have a playable demo at PAX East 2024, and I’ll be going hands-on with the game. If I live to tell the tale, I’ll be back to share my impressions.
