Game: Dragons Never Cry
Developer: FireVector
Platform: Desktop Win
Website: firevector.com
Country: Belarus
Dragons Never Cry is a casual action-adventure telling story about a brave little dragon treasure-hunter.
The main character is a cute little dragon. He loves treasures (like every dragon does) so he spends a lot of time wondering around forest looking for pretty glimmering things.
His companion, a mysterious flying panda, helps the dragon in his adventures. Their dialogues also serve as explanation for the player on what’s going on in the game. Gameplay is mostly exploration, treasure hunting and puzzle solving, with a little bit of combat. Dragon and Panda progress forward together, looking for treasures, fighting off monsters and gradually uncovering what’s happened to the forest and where all those monsters came from.
Visually, the game tries to be a modern version of Playstation2 era classics like Crash Bandicoot and Spyro the Dragon.
