Description
Isometric action RPG where four generations of the Dragon Valor lineage face dragons across five hundred years. Created by Now Production and Namco, released in 1999 in Japan and in 2000 in the United States and Europe. Partner choices influencing the next hero, ten dragons to slay, branching storylines and symphonic soundtrack. European multilingual editions.
A Namco action RPG presented as the heir to Dragon Buster, Dragon Valor unrolls a saga across several generations of dragon hunters, where partner choices shape the lineage and the paths of the adventure. The snappy side view combat, the cinematic staging and the branching narrative structure give the whole real character. The slightly stiff 3D and a sometimes repetitive system have aged. An endearing curiosity for fans of narrative action RPGs and of Namco's PlayStation catalogue.
