Abandonware
Scam. I bought this game years ago back when it had potential. I've revisited it time and again hoping against hope something would be different. And it was. They made it worse and then forgot about it. DO NOT PURCHASE. DO NOT GIVE THEM YOUR MONEY. DO NOT BELIEVE THE ADVERTISEMENT IMAGES IT LOOKS NOTHING LIKE THAT. that is what it USED to look like when i first bought it. I played it again today to see what it was right now and its still a barren wasteland where you can fly off the tiny board and spin in the void forever. there are no buildings, there are no mountains, there is no snow. its a gray, flat, unpopulated table floating in the worst sky box you have EVER seen. the cake is a lie. The "dev" lists this game on his linked in profile as though it is finished and is an accomplishment. The game website doesn't even reference this game. It talks about the genre of Dragon games. I know I'm just adding my voice to a chorus of others offering warning, but I hate the idea of anyone else giving this contemptible shyster more money for his deception. Can't believe he charges nearly $20 for this lazy back splash. Actually a scam and Steam supports it.
This is possibly the most well known scam on Steam. The fact that it's still possible for the naive and uninformed to stumble in and spend money on something that literally everyone knows was never intended as anything more than a cheap splash page to trick people into buying empty promises is appalling. There has to be a point beyond which Valve recognizes that allowing something to remain for sale is basically aiding in fraud.
Game has been abandoned by devs, good concept but sad to see it die. I don't know why it is still up on steam but unless the rights get taken over by someone who will finish it no one should still be spending money on this game.
the game was abandoned by its creators, it is now a ghost.
the game itself is early alpha and very buggy with constant game breaking glitches.
its such a shame because as someone who followed the development of this game since day one i wanted to see it succeed so bad. the concept of the game is absolutely amazing and such a fun idea.
I can't believe this is still on Steam with an actual price on it. The price of the game should be the same for the rights to take over and actually finish it, instead of screwing anyone who actually paid for it. This was released ion 2014. Absolute TRASH. DO NOT BUY.
bought the game back in 2013-2015 and after a long absence i decided to revisit the game to see if any progression had been made i was sad then to see there had infact not been any progression and nothing has changed grapthics are equivelent to the sega consoles gameplay is none existent maps struggle to render even on a powerful rig freezes on loading screen
DO NOT BUY GAME!
Your money would be better spent buying an online course on video game development. Chances are by the end of that you will be able to just make your own game far better than this.
Like most other reviewers here, I bought the game years ago hoping it would grow, and have seen nothing but it becoming more and more deserted. Unfortunately, also like many other reviewers I am outside of the window for Steam's refund policy. I agree with Steam's refund policy being generally strict, however when a developer so blatantly abandons a project then I feel further actions should be taken. As much as I would enjoy the refund, I probably won't get one so what is truly mind-blowing to me is that Steam leaves this game available for purchase. I have seen other titles and DLC be listed as N/A so as to leave a record that it existed but to prevent future purchases from being made.
In my opinion, Steam should be held equally liable for any future negative experiences with this game.
I've worked as a game designer and studied game design for quite a few years now. It's through my years as a designer where I've learned that technical skill is not nearly as important as the execution of ideas within a game. It's the difference between someone being good at creating grammatically correct sentences and someone being good at bending the rules of language to create a good story. The first is expected to simply be considered competent, the second is needed to be actually good.
Dragon: The Game, and by assertion its developers, is neither.
If the refund option had been available when I bought the game back in 2014, I would've refunded it the very first day. But it wasn't, so the game remained in my library. There is nothing special about Dragon: The Game. It has no real design or purpose. Its listed features are game fundamentals that even in 5 years time has not been finished being implemented. Dragon: The Game feels like someone's mediocre homework. It has no artistic pride or identity. Seeing it being sold on a alleged professional game store is like going into a book store and finding Sonic the Hedgehog fanfiction being sold next to the Hunger Games trilogy.
While the developers are game developers in name simply because they have created something they call a game. I would guess quite firmly that these developers are primarily gamers. Gamers who mistook their love for playing games as competence at and a love for creating games. A mistake many players turned wannabe developers make, before the wast majority of them fail.
There is nothing of value in this game, only hobbyist level attempts at learning coding and design basics. Attempts being the key word. Do not buy it for it will only make you angry, or if you're a game designer like me, sad.
So I bought and played this game in 2014 and in 2014 there were a lot of problems, but if you compared it to what you have now:
2014vs2018
See the rendered map out to the edge -vs- See a rendering distance circle around your dragon that starts and stops on the hill your on.
Use of fire breath -vs- No breath.
An ok flight system -vs- A flight system that is poorly designed and when used makes me vaguely nauseous.
Enemies that you could fight and would turn into meat chunks you could gather -vs- Enemies that glitch when you attack them and deer that can run at lightspeed that you can never catch.
Destructable buildings you could set on fire -vs- No buildings, only invulnerable trees, rocks and the ground your standing on.
A dragon customizer that let you change certain aspects of your dragon, such as wing size, addition of spikes and such -vs- A cusomizer that lets you change color.
I'm sure there's more but you get the jist of it. In 2014 they were closer to a finished product than now. I don't want to come off as too harsh but this is barely a tech demo right now. The video up above is closer to what was in the 2014-2015 range than what they have now. I actually looked through my steam library after exiting it to see if this was actually the game I remembered playing rather than some other Early Access game that I had gotten during a Steam Sale. Unfortunately this is the game I remembered playing, just alot worst.
Now I don't know what they have going on, if they have a massive outside problem or something similar but they need to at least pull the game from the store until it is presentable again. The fact they're charging $18 for this is making me question if they have actually played the product they have on the store as is.
As of today 1/22/2018 I would not recommend this to anyone. As the game may change in the future there may be hope for it, but for myself I am uninstalling this and will be keeping my distance until I actually see anything resembling an actual semi-complete game.
I have been meaning to do a review on this for years. It was first brought out in 2014 and after 2 kickstarters and 3 years the only noticeable difference over that time is you can change your dragons colour.
DON'T BUY IT!! DON'T WASTE YOUR TIME!! DON'T WASTE YOUR MONEY!!
Sadly this game has lost all of its drive. Recently there was a glimmer of hope that the development was still on going and that the team would start communicating again. The update that was said to be coming out still has not hit and they have gone silent again.
Also just found this little article here: https://www.tricitiesbusinessnews.com/2017/01/13/red-level-games/#myaccount which suggests that this game is going to continue to sit idle for awhile if not be completly abandoned. The article states that the people who were working on this game are focusing on building a weed growing game. This game had a great concept but I would just follow it in case it revives and not risk your money buying it in its current state.
Edit: Since I posted this review there has been a response from the developer which you can watch here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=azfsXpjMTMU. Hopefully this is a step in the right direction and he does what he says especially in the communication department. I will wait and see what happens. For anyone considering buying this game then I would just like to remind you that it is an early access game and is struggling with its development. It might turn into a good game or it might continue on life support and eventually die. I hope this one finds new life but it is a risk and if you dont want to accept that risk then dont buy it atleast not yet.
At this point, I can't recommend this as an early access title. It's probably one of the three crowdfunded titles I actually regret purchasing. In the last two years, very little has changed in the actual product. While there might be "under the hood" work being done, there is also very little communication from the developer despite numerous requests for information.
The last round of customer complaints on lack of updates elicited a post from the developer where he stated "I can communicate more regularly and authentically."
This was on July 10th.
It's now nearly two months later, and not a single post or bit of information has come from the developers. It could be a deserted project sitting in early access for all I know, but there is no communication present.
Even before this, it was spotty - this started on steam EA and had a number of purchasers (I'd guess a few thousand). Then, after that initial open-up for purchase, there were a few updates, almost no communication from the devs, and then silence for several months afterward. Things became active again for a month with a Kickstarter which got another 50K to develop the game, a couple of updates during that time and then complete radio silence for 2-3 months. Until the people that purchased their game practically shook the cages asking what the hell was going on, can we hear anything at all about this project?
When tracked down and found in a livestream, the developer stated they were afraid to communicate because of possible "misunderstandings".
This is a pretty bad excuse.
No one misunderstood anything, no one was being negative in their forums, just asking "can we get an update?" or "has this project been abandoned? I haven't seen any sort of communication."
Bottom line, I urge you with all caution NOT to purchase this early-access title. Due to the lack of communication from the developers, the strange excuses, and the lack of overall progress over the period of two years, this is most likely not going to be finished, and any money or hopes put on this are likely to be a wasted effort. I do expect another round of crowd-funding before they finally go totally dark and abandon it, but the pattern has been pretty clear since this project started.
If the behavior actually changes, then I'll be happy to update the review. At this point, though, buyer beware. They don't have enough personnel or resources in order to make the project they are selling.
Writing this review because I requested a refund on a game I played 27 minutes and it was denied. Seeing as I can't get my money back... I spent $15 on this game in 2014 hoping it would become something. Still waiting. The devs don't seem to respond to the community and the videos and images suggest the game is something it's not... or playable in general.
Don't buy this game, it's been in a rut for two years and all it looks like is it's managed by devs who are learning how to do basic things as they go. This isn't the same game I was originally supporting.
I noticed Achievements shown under the game. Really? The game can't function with a basic purpose, or be even REMOTELY worth $18, but there's achievements?
I've been well duped. Congrats. Thanks for taking my time and money.
Update: 8th July

This video says it all.
I started like em all. I saw a game about dragons and instantly bought it, because I felt it needed support.
Do not give these devs money. Don't purchase the game in its current state.
They had a kickstarter, a successful one that granted them 35k dollars and they presented a new dragon model, along with promising to have weekly updates on their progress. The last time we heard from them was in April and now it's June.
I wouldn't be so upset, if they at least did keep us up-to-date on their progress, but they don't.
And I am starting to feel like they never will.
I've owned this game for maybe 2 years, and it's still an utter piece of crap. Slightly different crap than what I originally bought, but still utter turd. I bought this game, as many others did, because this is a concept I've always been looking for in a video game. This game does not deliver on that. Dragon: The Game makes a lot of promises, and fufills none of them. Its unplayable, it's ugly, and little to no progress has been made in its development. Frankly, its gone backwards. When i first played, the UI actually worked, to a degree, and I could atleast run the game. Now many of the buttons do literally nothing when I press them, and I immediately crash a few minutes into 'gameplay'. Don't buy this game.
******DISCLAIMER******** I don't recommend this game for specific groups of gamers. Please read the full review for my thoughts! thank you!
This game is difficult for me to review, and I'll explain why. I have dreamt of this game concept for YEARS. I have told all my friends about this "idea" I had about a game where you played AS a dragon. Where the game was a mix of RPG/Action/Strategy/Open World/Co-op and PvP. A game where you started off as a baby dragon, heading out into the world. You would set up a lair, and then proceed to level up and grow as you saw fit. Maybe you'd be a typical giant red dragon breathing fire on all the nearby villages. Or you could be a diplomatic dragon who forged alliances with humans instead. Each level would allow you to customize and upgrade various aspects of your dragon. Etc...I could go on all day about my ideas (Been thinking about them for years as I mentioned.) Reading the description from the developers, this game COULD potentially BE my dream game, finally realized.
On the one hand, I want to enthusiastically recommend this game so more people will support it and it can grow into the game of my dreams. However, I have to be honest and tell people what they are getting into before they spend their hard-earned money. I have barely started the game up, and quit after a minute or so because the controls were so un-intuitive and I couldn't figure out how to switch them. The graphics were poor, and no amount of messing with the settings would improve them. Obviously this is still in early access, so there is still hope for lots of improvement. With such a limited amount of experience in the game, I can't talk about any of the deeper mechanics, etc...but the small amount I did experience was hard to endure. I am planning to not ask for a refund in the hopes that this game will continue to grow and adapt into a game I can love. I bought it on sale for $15 ish, normally it goes for $17.99 I think. If you love dragons like I do (and like the developers, from the sound of it) this game could very well be worth supporting. If you're kind of "meh" on the subject of dragons, maybe wait a few months before purchasing.
I will continually check up on this game and revise my review as time goes on. Thank you for reading!
END OF OFFICIAL REVIEW
To the developers: (if they read these things...)
Thank you for doing this game! As I mentioned, I have pictured this game in my head for 10+ years now! I always toyed with the idea of submitting it to some developer, but figured it'd already been discussed and dropped, of that there wouldn't be much interest. Every few years, I'd do an internet search for "dragon games" to see if there was by chance a game that somewhat matched my ideas. None ever have until now! Happened upon your game in a STEAM sale and bought it pretty quickly. I understand that this game is a side endeavor for all of you, outside of your regular jobs, so it can't be your main focus. All I ask is that you do what you (reasonably) can to make this game great! I could die a happy man if this game is able to fulfill even some of my grand dragon aspirations. Again, thank you for undertaking this project.
*UPDATE 12-24-2016* Well looks like Red Level Games is avoiding steam at all costs, with no updates to the game I would call this game development dead. Apparently the devs are still updating people on Kickstarter (But I haven't heard of any builds being updated) so now my only guess is Red Level Games are trying to save face.
So looks like Dragon the Game is just another failed Early Access story. Just add it to the pile.
TL;DR version:
Kickstarter campaign has (expensive) stage walls for some of the features below. Game hasn't really improved in a year. To my disapointment, it's to risky to pay 18 dollars.
Long version:
I purchased this game the first day of release, I wanted the final product to be a decent indie game. Sure it would have flaws but it would be enjoyable at least. When I first booted up the game boy was in for a surprise... not for how far along the team was in developing this game, instead for how little and broken everything was; flying was awful, the camera was confusing to use, there was little to do, and everything about the visuals was just ugly. At first I figure; this game is in early development and it's just needs more work, no worries I'll just watch it develop over time. However over a year later and I would be lying if I said things got better. Sure they did add some new NPCs, some new sturctures. However flying is still broken, the scale of your dragon to the world seems off, and the game doesn't feel anymore improved.
So normally I would brush this game off as a bad purchase and I would have learned a lesson, or maybe still give the dev team the benefit of the doubt. I honestly don't know that much about game development, so maybe there is more stuff under the hood they are working on that we just don't see yet. The main problem for me is. Even after being on the Steam store for over a year. Red Level Games has decided to start a campaign on Kickstarter. (To be honest I think they are the only ones to have started on Steam, then moved to Kickstarter. I know the reverse happens or maybe even they launch at the same time) It seems really strange to me. I know games cost money to make, you need to keep people employeed in order to work on a game, you also need a place for them work. I get it and I don't care that they have this campaign of the side for people who want to help some more. My real issue is, some of the features listed below (As of the date of writing this review) are now suddenly blocked off by a stage wall. Even though their Kickstarter Goal is 30K some of the features such as; adding more Dragon body types/species is a 750K milestone on their Kickstarter.
I don't know what Red Level Games was thinking. This game isn't really popular, it isn't really drawing the attention needed for a Kickstarter to get the majority of it's milestone/stages funded. It's only popular in a niche market, so the people who would have been willing to donate to the kickstarter probably have already purchased the game and even a smaller percentage of them will be willing to give even more of their money to this project.
After this Kickstarter I'm now worries on the progress that will be made here. I feel like it would be a huge risk to anyone now to spend 18 dollars on this game. However all of this could work out, the game gets finished and it's amazing. I would be so overjoyed and woul gladly admit I'm wrong. It's just from where I'm sitting right now... I don't have high hopes.
Going by my profile picture, this has been on my wishlist for quite some time. And due to the Winter Steam Sale, I decided to get it. Though I do hope my investment helps with their continued development of this game, because wow.. does it need it.
I'll be 100% honest with you. If you love dragons as much as I do, and you pray this small development company can deliver, then invest and enjoy the game as-is. But realize, this game is only a whelp right now. It just needs some time to grow.
And like the typical age of a dragon, it will take a pretty long time until this game will be what I want for this. This game has been in Alpha for over a year. Thankfully the dev team haven't abandoned it, giving me hope it will be as epic as a dragon should be.
I understand that this game is in early access, but I don't know if it's worth the money. I'm glad I spent it so they can work on it some more, but I'm having doubts. This game definitely has a cool idea, but it's not quite ready for anyone to play right now. In fact, there's almost nothing to do but fly around. Don't get me wrong, I absolutely love the dragon concept, but I don't know if they have a good enough foundation to get this off the ground (I made a pun because the dragon can barely get off the ground). Here are some ideas to make this game awesome:
1. Better flight controls - It's very clunky and full of bugs. I found this nifty little nook on the top of a mountain and I tried to get to it, but my dragon kept falling backwards for some reason. No idea why. I would like to see something like Zelda: Skyward Sword. The birds in the game had very simple, but easy to use flight controls. Flap the wings, they'd go up. If you were high enough, you could coast on the "wind". I'm not looking for realistic, I'm looking for fun.
2. Better ground movement - Dragons are mythical creatures, so I can't never know for sure...but I'm fairly certain that they aren't supposed to move like that. Also the body of the dragon doesn't interact well with the ground, and I'd like some motivation not to crash my animal into the ground. So far, the only way that's possible to land your dragon from high up is to do a death spiral to the ground.
3. More interesting landscape - I get that they are trying to be realistic, but I'd almost prefer if they focused more on mechanics and less on landscape. Plus, the mountains are kind of boring at this point. In the future, I'd like to see snow on top of them, and forests so thick with trees that it is almost impossible to land among. Also, rivers and lakes.
4. Dragon Territory and Hoard- I think the game makers are going for a territorial/combat/choose your destiny kind of game. I'd like to see some caves where I can store all my treasure and princesses.
5. Better dragon customization - enough said. I'm glad I have an option to explore as a silver dragon, but I'd like a little more detail than that.
Once again, I understand that this is a work in progress. But they aren't moving very fast and I don't know if they have the foundation for this to succeed. I will remain hopeful, however. So buy the game if you can afford it, but think of it like a donation right now because it's not much of a game at all currently.
Magnificent idea, without a doubt. A game where you take the role of a dragon for no greater reason other than to do dragon-y things. That's really the kind of game i'm craving these days.
That being said, i cannot in any way recommend this game in it's current state. This is VERY early access. Like, SUPER early access. It runs like a snail through molasses(very slowly) on my somewhat competent computer, and there are glitches in the most noticable of places, like that one where your dragon gets stuck tilted at a 45 degree angle from the ground.
Of course, the biggest issue here, the one that really bothers me the most, is that none of the dragons movement feels especially dragon-like, with the arguable exeption of the flying. There is no weight to any of your movement, the fire breath carries all of the force of shining a flashlight on things, and all in all, in it's current state, the game ultimately fails to deliver on the one thing it tries to be: a dragon simulator.
I hope, i truly hope by the grace of the moon that this game becomes something grand. And when it does, i swear i will shower it with all the praise i can muster. For the time being, though, i'm just waiting for this thing to become decently playable.
Oh, the curse of early access games...
