Personally, I never liked any of those games, I didn’t have the patience for them first time around, and nostalgia goggles haven’t made me appreciate them any more - but I found Dragon Fantasy to be a relatively fun experience.Ī lot of this comes down to writing. It should almost go without saying (but I’ll say it anyways) that your enjoyment of those games will largely dictate how much you enjoy Dragon Fantasy Book 1. After all, I don’t think it’s a stretch to say that if you played games like Final Fantasy, Dragon Quest or The Adventure of Link - or if you even play a lot of those games’ more modern descendants - then there’s a lot here that’ll seem familiar, from the top-down gameplay and turn-based combat (complete with the fight/magic/item/run options), to the retro graphics and chiptunes music. Of course, it’s the “borrows heavily from the past 25 years” aspect that will define the game for most people. I’m talking literally: Dragon Fantasy Book 1 is a port of the iOS game of the same name. And I don’t just mean that in a broad, “This game borrows heavily from every 8 and 16 bit RPG of the last 25 years” sense, either. There’s not a lot new going in Dragon Fantasy Book 1.
