Heroes of Mount Dragon is a new, fun side-scrolling 2.5D beat-em-up game. The developers are RuniQ studio - they were founded by veterans from Beenox and Ubisoft. The game is based on the children's books of the same name, which were published only in French. We played the PlayStation 5 version, but there is also a PC version released on Steam and the Epic Games Store, as well as a Nintendo Switch version, while it is in development for Xbox.
The action of the game takes place in a mythical world called Una, which is on the brink of chaos after the disappearance of the Sky Dragon. We are in the role of Dragon Souls, chosen heroes who in their most powerful form can take on the characters of various invincible dragons and destroy their opponents. Our goal is to defeat all opponents and restore order in Una.
The style of the game is colorful and reminiscent of cartoons. The game is 2.5D, which means it combines hand-drawn 2D art and 3D environment textures. The game is fluid and fast, and the controls are simple. At the time of playing we had 6 heroes at our disposal. Each hero has his own unique fighting style and unique combinations and powers. So there we have the "assassin" Ozlow, the "ranger" Eliadora, the "brawler" Grog, the "warrior monk" Fenek, the "barbarian" Tiberius and the wizard Altazar. I started the game with Tiberius, and when I maxed him, I replaced him with Altazar because yes, it is possible to change characters during the game and continue where you left off with the previous one. One of the main mechanics is the transformation into a dragon. During the battle, we can turn into a dragon for a short time, which with its attack ("dragon breath") removes every opponent that comes in its way. The game has mild RPG elements, that is, a poorly developed and basic system of progression and leveling (the maximum level of each character is 15, which is reached quite quickly), and with it we unlock combinations for attacks and nothing else. The game has cooperative (co-op) play for up to 4 players, as well as online co-op play. There is also a competitive game mode (Competitive) where we can play against each other locally. The time to complete the main part of the game (Adventure mode) is relatively short. It took me 4-5 hours of playing. For the platinum trophy, a little more grinding is needed, because it is necessary to max each character, as well as to complete the game on all difficulty levels. Nevertheless, despite this, I managed to get about thirty trophies out of a possible 48. The Platinum trophy, I would say, is still not too difficult to get for a more experienced "trophy hunter".
Game se sastands od 5 aktova. WITHvaki akt there is podosta razina through koje rješavate protivnike, and on kparadiseu svake razine je jedna „mini boss” borba. Krećemo se uvijek nadesno, i after kwarkih or vrlo kwarkih borba s there is nonewhatvitim protivnicthere is, skupljamo jabuke i porće koji nam vraćaju energiju. Leveli su kwarki, but there is ih podosta, pa aktovi znaju tparadiseati poduže. No, sve skupa to ne lasts predugo. Kwarkoća glavne priče nije mi jedina zamjerka ovoj igri. Protivnici, iako izgledom šaroliki, gotovo su svi isti i može ih se svakog pobjediti beige previše znanja i vještine, including i „final bossa” u igri, koji mi was blago rečeno – razočaravajući. Bilo ga je lakše pobjediti nego neke slabije „mini bossove” koji vas is waitingju na kparadiseu svake razine. Game je dosta ponavljajuća, i razine - iako su estetski i bojama različite, vidljivo su „na isti kalup”. U jednom levelu borite se protiv crvenih pauka, and in sljedećem protiv istih takvih pauka, samo zelene boje. Story je uglavnom zabavna, ima dosta humora. Pripovjedač there is dobar, opuštajući glas i jedna je od pozitivnih stvari ove games. Još jedna zamjerka je what cut-scene (međuscene) there is noneju „voiceover”, that is there is none glasa, samo tekst i visual prikaz likova. Da ne pomisliand yes mi is andgra loša, prelazim na dobre stvari. visually, it's a game super, pogotovo ako volite slične games. Na mind mi is coming nedavna 2D Price of Persia game, who je vizualno slična. Tko voli crtani movie style igara, toći će i u ovoj igri na svoje. Forbavi u ovoj igri there is none kparadisea. Ne mogu reći da game nije zarazna jer sam potrošio nekoliko večeri na nju i nije mi uopće žao. IN njoj there is ono newhat what te tjera da odgameš još jedan level, pa još jedan, i tako dalje.
In short, Heroes of Mount Dragon is a fun and visually impressive beat-em-up game with cartoon elements. It has very colorful and fluid gameplay, but there is a visible lack of depth and variety. The opponents are repetitive, but the "mini bosses" at the end of each level can be tricky. For "trophy hunters" on the Play Station platform who want a mountain of easy trophies, and an easily accessible platinum trophy - this game is the right thing.
