Dragonsphere

MicroProse <3 NightDive

Dragonsphere is probably Microprose's best point and click game and also one of the best point and click games ever made. I kinda like how it's rough around the edges because that early 90s retro vibe really shines through. The puzzles aren't hard, but I had to write some things down and even make a spreadsheet because there is a procedural order to some of them that is better mapped out. I only dislike that some inventory items are useless (red herrings, of course, but I found myself wishing they actually did something) and the interface can make some sections WAY harder than need be. There is a part where you have to use an item with a particular command at a particular time that seems nonsensical, but many puzzles are seemingly nonsensical since many of the items are magical items. There is a twist near the end that really enhances the game, and the game overall is really well made. I recommend not using a guide, but keep in mind that there is a part where you need to reference a document that is not included with the game (it was on the original version).

For the age of the game, and its resemblance to games such as Kings Quest, this game is actually very forgiving. If you love point an clicks but have encountered the issue of not saving correctly and having to restart, this game is for you. You have much less to worry about. This game is perfect to start your journey before climbing the ladder. However, it is also a fun and relaxing game for those of us use to more unforgiving games. It also runs perfect on the steam deck.

I don't know how to progress and I refuse to open a walkthrough sums up these kinds of games, if you don't have the drive to play it or to look up a guide then don't get it

If you like old point and click games, you'll enjoy this one. It has many of the same issues all these older games have like some clunky puzzles and a few pixel hunting moments. But if you are familiar with these kind of games its not a problem. On the plus side, some beautiful pixel art, a unique story, and (sometimes very funny) voice acting . I really enjoyed the last half of the game.
