About

Dragon is Dead has been developed closely with its players, incorporating their feedback to improve everything from gameplay balance and how combat feels, to adding new content. During its testing phase, the game received positive reviews from both players and critics, who praised its complexity, quick reactions, and how easily it kept them playing again and again.

This release represents the end of a long development process, adding a final area and challenging boss fight. It also introduces a new playable character, the ‘Hunter of the Beast,’ along with options to customize the game’s difficulty. We’ve also completely reworked the Tempering system, allowing players to create powerful, but risky, character builds. Thanks to feedback from our community, every aspect of the game – the story, features, and systems – has been refined into a fitting conclusion to the Dragon Slayer’s saga.
