Holy this is an awsome game if we still where in the year 1995, but you know - we arent

A Captivating Adventure with On the Dragon Wings! I recently had the pleasure of immersing myself in the captivating world of On the Dragon Wings, and I must say, it was an exhilarating experience. As a fan of RPG games, I was drawn to the game's unique premise centered around Bruce, a young boy on a quest to save his father. The game masterfully combines elements of fantasy and adventure, transporting players into a mystical forest where an unexpected encounter with a dragon sets the stage for thrilling quests. What truly impressed me was the level of realism infused into the game. The lush forest environments were beautifully crafted, each tree and blade of grass rendered with meticulous attention to detail. The dragon itself was awe-inspiring, with its majestic wings and intricately designed scales. The developers truly managed to create a visually stunning world that pulled me in from the moment I started playing. But it wasn't just the visuals that kept me hooked; the gameplay mechanics were equally engrossing. Navigating through the forest, solving puzzles, and battling foes alongside the dragon companion felt seamless and intuitive. The controls were responsive, allowing for precise movements and engaging combat sequences. The progression system was well-balanced, providing a sense of growth as Bruce became stronger and more skilled in his quest to rescue his father. The storyline was compelling, and I found myself genuinely invested in Bruce's journey. The emotional depth of his character was portrayed excellently, and I couldn't help but empathize with his determination and courage. The narrative twists and turns kept me on the edge of my seat, always eager to discover what lay ahead. I must admit, I was so captivated by On the Dragon Wings that I found it difficult to tear myself away from the game. The hours flew by as I immersed myself in its enchanting world, eagerly completing each task and unlocking new areas. It's a testament to the game's quality that I eagerly await the release of new updates and features. I have no doubt that the addition of these enhancements will elevate the already outstanding gameplay to new heights. In conclusion, On the Dragon Wings is a must-play for any RPG enthusiast. Its compelling storyline, breathtaking visuals, and immersive gameplay make for an unforgettable gaming experience. I wholeheartedly recommend it to anyone seeking an adventure that will leave them yearning for more. Embark on this journey with Bruce and his dragon companion, and get ready to be whisked away on the wings of an extraordinary adventure.

First of all, I want to say that I’m a big fan of everything dragon-related, so an open world game that lets you ride a dragon, take to the skies and burn your enemies caught my attention at first glance. However, while it has very good potential, there is work to be done for it to reach a great game status. For that reason, I’ve been thinking, and I wanted to share my recommendations. But before I speak further, I must note that I don’t have even the minimum idea on how to program a game, and I don’t know of the hurdles involved in making one, so if any programmer that sees what I see besides the creator(s) and wants to help (or explain to me how unfeasible these ideas might be), I encourage them to do so. Without further ado, let’s begin with… • The core mechanics: Okay so, for an RPG open world type game, I would’ve hoped for at least a minimap, an inventory system, and something like a skill tree or a skill point system, where you get to choose your attributes (like the good ’ol Bethesda games). So instead of having some options to your arsenal, you can only carry a sword/axe and a shield, and your gold, which is the only item you can have. And what can you do with the gold? Buy dragons. Each dragon is a little bit more expensive (and powerful) than the one before, and you can only buy them at the Dragon House tower, but I’ll comment this more deeply in The dragons section. For starters, I would suggest adding an inventory system with slots for items, weapons, and armour (if you ask me, I like better when you can combine types of armour, but if you judge easier to start with full, uninterchangeable sets of armour like in The Witcher 3 do so) and adding nothing but three general purpose items: meat, gold, and healing mushroom; for recovering stamina and gaining xp, buy items and recovering health respectively. Then, more refined items could be added for more late purposes, like wood, iron, or materials dropped from specific enemies to craft or upgrade you, your dragons or your equipment. • The dragons: Now let’s talk about the dragons, the main thing in this game. If yours dies, you’re dead and stranded, and you must quit and re-enter the game for it to respawn. Now, this will make you lose any progress you might have in your current mission, forcing you to restart it. You have eight dragons in total, and all of them have a melee attack and a fireball attack. The flight controls feel synthetic, and instead of an ascend/descend system like in Ark or Minecraft, I would have gone with something of a accelerate/decelerate system (like Just Cause 3, Century: Age of Ashes, etc), I would also add a Breath attack, and reduce the total of dragons to three, but make each one with special abilities and perks that differentiate them from the rest (for example, a heavy dragon with a shielded cranium that could charge against enemies on land or air, dealing massive damage on contact, or a storm cloud dragon that could summon a lightning bolt… the possibilities are endless really), and then more dragons with different and new abilities could be released. Another thing about the dragons is that you have no option to switch between them, so I would add something like an arcane item capable of storing a dragon and releasing it to the world when you need it, giving you more variety both in combat and exploration (I will discuss further about how to do this in The story section, but if you want references, I would suggest checking the Minecraft mod named Ice and Fire and the dragon horn item). And I would rework completely the function of the Dragon House tower, because I think in its status is wasted potential; instead of simply a dragon shop, that in my opinion ruins the whole dragon trainer thing, how about a dragon item shop? In it, you could buy new saddles with different attributes, weapons (which I will discuss in The enemies/combat section) and magic items for you and your dragons. It could serve as a sort of base or dragon barn, where you could leave the dragons safe from the dangers of the world, store resources, and prepare for the missions. It could even serve as a hub for other players looking to join you in your adventures! And now, the most important thing, how to get new dragons? There are many possible ways: one would be incubating a dragon egg (that could be stole from dragon lairs or given by one after defeating it in combat), or it could be by defeating a dragon while NOT riding a dragon (for proving strength for example). Anyways, if you must add only one thing to the dragons, please make something like a dash in the air or something to gain speed apart from diving. • The world: The world is… weird to say the least. In the map there are three main places: your village, the Dragon House, and the Dark rider castle. The rest of the map is divided into two sections, one is either several villages with few distance between them or a city with houses very separated between them; and the other is just plain forest, with a few enemy camps. In this matter I suggest to at least organize the villages, clarify factions and give a recognizable name to the main village, then, I would add verticality, a few more mountains and ravines, since the flying-feeling is so important in a dragon riding game. The day/night cycle is way too fast, and the moon is non-existent, which gives away the passing of time at night. Then, when the map is more organized and less confusing, a second, bigger island could be added, leaving the first one as a sort of tutorial, with the Dark Rider being the tutorial boss.

This game is not in Early Access, and yet the version inside the game says it's a Beta build. Beta traditionally means "feature complete" and awaiting polish. This is not feature complete, a decent number of things say they will be unlocked in the Full version. The graphics are pretty bad but that's fine. The dialog is terrible, clearly not written by a native English speaker, but also not even competently translated. This is actually worse than some of the straightforward asset flip titles. Avoid.
