Dragon Fantasy Book 1



System:  PS3

Bought:  August 28th

Started:   August 28th
Beat:   September 6th

Trophies:  12 out of 12


Idea:  This is an "old school" RPG, random battles and irritating dungeons.  It's broken down into three "Chapters" and the "Intermission",  the chapters revolve around a certain character and the stories play off one another.
       Chapter 1; I'd say it's the main chapter that follows Ogden, he use to be a major hero that saved the princess at the cost of his hair. Now?  Just one of the Queens Knights.  During a ceremony where the Queen was passing the kingdom to her son {Prince Marion}, a dark knight shows up out of nowhere and kidnaps the prince.
        Ogden attempts to fight the Dark Knight, but gets his butt kicked... he's then ported off to another place and the adventures start.  Over the few hours that the chapter lasts Ogden meets pirates, gathers an armor set, regains his hero status by saving the prince and defeating the dark lord. Yey!

        Chapter 2; "The Heir Apparent"  This chapter follows Prince Anders, Marion's brothers. After his brother is kidnapped and a plague overtakes the castle he and a couple guards set off to find a strange Artifact. {I forgot the name}.

         Chapter 3;  "Operation Desert Plunder" Centers around Jerald and Ramona and really has the worse ending of the three chapters. Ramona is Jeralds niece and the two of them are trying to find a way out of the desert kingdom of Sandheim.
       The two of them need 20k to buy a passport to get out of the Kingdom, once they finally save up the money the guards and "king" are assholes and won't let you go.  That and of course the fact their demons of some sort...
       Oh, yea... Jerald gets a hold of the artifact that Anders had sent out and apparently developed some sort of uber powers.

        Intermission;  This was actually a bit dumb, but that's okay....Many of the characters from the other chapters are present and they are somehow knocked into what seems to be an RPG...  It was just... odd.
      The ending was cute though, once the sleeping guy wakes up he / commands them all back to their own world.


Thoughts:  This game was very, basic...the script was rather amusing in the beginning but.... it did start to drag a little.  I probably won't be buying the second one unless{until} there's a price drop like this one had {2.50}.
       It was a nice little jaunt to take my mind off all the Assassin Creed stuff I had been playing before.


The End:  It's in the air really, Prince saved, artifact found, but with the third chapter you aren't really sure what happens.  Did the guy destroy all the bad guys or not? Who knows.  It will probably be continued in Dragon Fantasy Book 2.....
