Fantasy role-playing adventure with turn-based combat and dungeon exploration
The briefing
Dragonflight is a fantasy role-playing game inspired primarily by the Ultima series. Rather than creating a character, players immediately control a party of four protagonists.
Overworld travel and town navigation use a top-down perspective, while dungeons are presented in a first-person pseudo-3D style. Progression is non-linear, allowing access to most locations from the beginning. Monsters can be encountered in the wilderness or at fixed dungeon locations.
Combat switches to a side-scrolling battlefield with a grid. In turn-based encounters, characters can move, use melee or ranged weapons, and cast spells. Defeating monsters awards experience points. Magic can be learned by mixing reagents and selecting either the Black or White school.
The game can be saved at any time on the overworld and does not include an auto-mapping feature.
