Dragons: Dawn of New Riders is an action-adventure game released in 2019 for Windows PC, PlayStation 4, Stadia, Nintendo Switch, and Xbox One. The game is set in the world of DreamWorks Dragons, where players take on the role of Scribbler, a scholar with no memory of his past, and Patch, a unique dragon known as a 'chimeragon' with various elemental abilities. The story unfolds as the island of Havenholme is found in ruins, and the duo must explore new and familiar locations, such as Valka's Mountain and Blood Briar Island, to battle fierce enemies and defeat the villainous Eir who is controlling dragons to carry out her evil plans.
The gameplay features a mix of hack-and-slash combat, puzzle-solving, and exploration. Players can switch between Scribbler and Patch to utilize different combat tactics and solve puzzles. The game includes solid combat mechanics, with Scribbler using combinations of light and heavy attacks, shield blocks, and dodges, while Patch can launch elemental attacks like fireballs and icy blasts. The game also includes a Pokémon-style character collection system, where rescued dragons can be summoned to aid in combat.
Critics praised the game for its well-balanced difficulty, making it suitable for younger players, and its tight, instinctive controls. The game's visuals and the bond between the dragon and rider were also highlighted as positive aspects. While the game does not break new ground, it is competently handled and enjoyable, especially for fans of the DreamWorks Dragons series.
As of the current date, the game remains a fun and accessible title, particularly for fans of the franchise and those looking for a family-friendly action-adventure experience. However, it does not hold significant historical or market impact beyond its niche audience.
