Don’t be fooled by the game’s side scrolling format, its 3D engine gives more freedom in terms of movement. Previous side scrolling games like Maple Story were visually stunning but Dragonica Online does not only reproduce the feel but hikes the ante a little bit more.

The Story

Years after the end of Dragon War, the human and dragons lived in relative peace in different worlds. However Elga, an evil Dragon took claim of the empire and pledged to renew the war with the humans. Five human heroes rose from the ranks of humans to lead the army and defeat the forces of Elga. The evil dragon was imprisoned and peace ruled the lands. A dark enchantress Paris freed the evil dragon Elga from his imprisonment. Thus the world again was plunged into darkness and the call was sent for human warriors to rise again.

Characters

One downside with the game was the number of characters available in the game. Currently the game only has four characters to choose from.

Archers

Masters of the bow, these characters rain arrows from great distances to deal incalculable damage. Dexterity and agility are the name of the game. Physically blessed with speed, archers are able to dodge attacks with ease. Archers are able to hit targets at long distances due to their high level of accuracy.

Drawbacks with archers are their inability to damage multiple targets with their attacks. Splash damage is limited and is weak in close range combat. Archers evolve into Hunters and Rangers, Hunters utilize nature for their attacks while Rangers boasts longer ranged attacks.

Thief

Thieves are masters of close ranged combat. This is reflected in their choice of weapons. Claws are the thief’s arsenal of preference, delivering blinding attacks to even the fastest of opponents. Mages and Archers masters of long ranged combat would surely fall in a close encounter with this character. Thieves go on to be Jesters and Acrobats.

Mages

These characters specialize in dealing damage to multiple enemies. Weak body composition is any Mages weak point. These characters are known for dishing out the biggest amount of damage among all characters. However, any Mage who find themselves standing too close to an enemy would see their chances of survival diminish.

Warriors

Tankers of any MMORPG, warriors constitute the anchors that hold any war party. Solid as a rock, this character is able to absorb large amounts of damage and can leave an opponent who is unfortunate enough to find themselves closer than needed fighting for their lives. They carry the heaviest and sturdiest of all armors giving them an added aura of invincibility.
