Dragonhold

This is pretty bad. The UX and UI are aweful. The combat is floaty and lacks any impactl. I cant in good concious reccomend it in its current state. And they removed micro transactions. "From early access" Which i take as, they will ruin the game eventually. Hopefully i get my refund.

Cool idea, needs a bit of quality of life, but you know that's what early access is for! Interesting to see where it goes.

Gameplay is pretty good, but there is so much polishing to be done, it feels unplayable at this current state, I might pick it up if it ever gets a major update

I was looking for a game similar to LAIR AND this comes up yay! On steam deck feels a bit weird the controller im having issues with bottons i made a layout for people to uses steam deck i was playing all the sudden B stopped working (dodge) and also game crashes everytime i go fly dragon in event on deck so idk i hope they can make support the deck since I dont think they will somehow so far enjoying it

It may not be finished yet, but this game has some serious potential. This game's more like a Looter Shooter or a Rogue Like than anything else. The only gripe I have is that controllers haven't been fully integrated yet, and I don't want to develop carpal tunnel by playing this on a keyboard.

Fun dragon game that is a little rough around the edges. The dragon part is a lot like doom eternal's dragon levels or a little bit of drakengard. The rest of the game is a bit ehh. While I find the dragon part of the game fun and much more polished than any other part, you have to play a large chunk of the game on foot, in pitch-black dungeons or fields full of the same animal where the enemies only seem to be able to run straight at you. It's a positive review for me since neutral isn't an option simply based on the dragon riding. I hope they do a lot of polishing to the game and maybe the dungeons to allow more dragon usage since its the part of the game that really shines, while the rest of it (UI, ground combat, enemy AI, lighting, character and enemy animations/attacks being really stiff and clunky outside of dragon riding) are things that will require you to lower your expectations a bit to enjoy. The combined dragon/ground combat flows together surprisingly well once you learn to aim your drops. It is genuinely fun to fly around and blow up enemy ships and ground troops before dropping out of the sky to beat stuff up, a vampire-survivors like survival mode would go great with how fun the dragon combat is against the combined hordes and enemy ships you fight a boss on, but unfortunately there wasn't a lot of that once I got out of the tutorial. It was mostly flying directly from dungeon to dungeon and not fighting with the dragon much.

Needs work.

Pretty solid, kinda grindy and I don't like grindy games but this game somehow makes it fun even for me.

I really wish I could love this game. It has a fun premise, potential for growth, cool dragons, and some interesting layouts. Unfortunately, they made a rogue-lite crafting game where you can never get back your loot. So if you die, no matter why, your loot is gone. No way to retrieve it, no easy way to respawn, no respect for the time you spend. It encourages you to do minor looting, then flee. Bosses? Not worth the chance to lose everything. Side quests? They exist, but not worth the chance to lose everything. There are traders in the game but finding them is a PIA and frankly cute swindely jerks. I'll check back in future years and hope it's improved. Until then, I want my 75 GB back.
