Draconus suceeds where others fail!

Although Draconus is far from the perfect game--in many ways it is not even a terribly good game--it manages to accomplish something that no other game in this genre does: taking out every frustrating aspect of similiar 3rd person adventure games and turning it entirely into a fast-paced Conan simulator. Really, they might as well have called the game Conan as you 'teleport' to many different villiages, cities, castles, etc. and kill everybody and everything that gets in your path. Never are the problems any more challenging than the average doom level. No need to worry about box puzzles or difficult 3d platform jumping. Draconus is all about being ravager of many lands (for good ends of course.) Even if you play the female character who is a little less Conan like, you'll still be doing the same sort of thing, only weighing your game play more on spells which are no less devistating than the might of the fighter character.

Essentially what I am trying to get at, is that while Draconus does impliment some fighting techniques that do make the game more than just brainless button pounding, the game itself is big brainless red-meat fun--enough so to keep you coming back for more even after you've played it through. For those of you who want brainier games, there are plenty out there, but ask yourself, what would Conan do?

What this 'fun factor' comes at the expense of though is a somewhat less than stellar graphical environment, occasionally frustrating camera angles and levels that are often very similiar and every once in a while too much like doom. It is also unfortunate that there is no end-of-game save or an option to return your incredibly powerful character back to level one and wreaking havoc like its never been wreaked before. As it is, when you get to the last level, you basically say good-bye to your character--and while the last levels are fun, they don't allow quite the zanniness that proceeding levels do where you can just unleash giant combos on dwarves and goblins.

That all said, the fun still definitely wins out--I found myself playing this game for three hour stretches due to its highly addictive nature. If you are excited about conquering other people all over the world or just feeling mighty for good stretches, this is definitely the game for you!

Draconus is an all around great game. In truth, this game supplies the average gamer with both slash and hash fighting including combo's and quick battles, as well as a bit of strategy and plotline. The graphics are nice, and the controls are extremely user friendly. Compared to something like Soul Fighter and Shadow Man, this game exceeds them both, by far.

I love this game.

This game is incredibly addicting. The fighting system allows you to actually fight with some strategy.. This is NOT a button-slapper.. That tactic will get you slain quickly.. One thing I really like is that fighting some enemies makes you really feel like you've accomplished something..

I would actually give it a 4.5 .. It's a little too easy to step off the edge of something due to the animation (hard to tell where you are pointed sometimes) and there are some polygon lines visible.. but it's more fun than any other DC game I have so far (~30)..

This 'game' is simply for 'anyone' who enjoys action/adventure movies with humor. Movies staring Arnold as "Connan the Desroyer". "In other words- 'I came, I saw and I kicked some butt'. I loved it; 'Hack&Slash' at its best! The voice overs were some of the witties and funniest. "MUST-BUY".
