Dragonheir: Silent Gods

The Good
So far this seems like a well polished game. I am still getting to grips with it but there is a lot in here and even more that I have not come across yet. Combat seems straightforward though at the moment I am losing regularly as the opponents are all much stronger than my party which probably means I've missed something. At this early stage the game is helpful too, for example I started a fight and it told me that I should put a particular character at the front because they could take the most damage - tbh it didn't help because they still died but I appreciated the assistance. However the fights at this stage are quickly resolved and easy to manage. The artwork is good. Initially I'd thought that this kind of third person point of view would make the characters difficult to see but that is not the case at all. The music is good and it is suitably epic, there must be plenty of it so far I have not got bored with it repeating the same tune over and over. As for the gameplay, well the game manages to put all the key elements into a tutorial and still tell the big story along with lots of little ones. This reminded me of the Fallout games where I could be on a big quest but along the way I'd come across a relic that told the story of someone who died long ago.

The Bad
I have no real criticisms of this game at all, however I don't see it as a game that I could pick up, play for ten - fifteen minutes and then put down. For me it is not a coffee break game.

I picked up the from the EPIC store recently but with Christmas being imminent and a few other things I did not get to play it. When I did I was thwarted by the need to install a chunky update to the game and that was followed by four more resource updates. I do not think this is normal but if it were then it could become a problem

The Bottom Line
I am still learning about this game but so far it has just about everything. It has a story and since I got the game additional content has been released. In the game I can make potions, craft weapons and armour, equip my party, manage my inventory, but & sell stuff, scavenge items from the land, steal from dragons, recruit extra heroes, and there's a strategy to the placement of my party when fighting.

So having tried it will I continue to play it? No, I will not. This is a good game and I have enjoyed playing it but it is an MMO/Co-Op game without a single player mode, something I missed when I downloaded the game, and I really do not play well with others.
