REVIEW: Crimson Dragon

Labels: , , ,

Crimson Dragon
Rail Shooter, Multiplayer
Xbox One

Crimson Dragon is a long awaited sequel to Panzer Dragoon, a game I never played but since the game is currently free with Games with Gold, I decided to try it out. I remember when it originally came out that it was one of the first games released for the system. I never got around to playing it until it became free and I am glad that I waited as it isn't much fun to play.

The graphics feel dated even though the game is only a few years old. Not sure if it is intentional but if you are one of the first games out of the gate on a new system, I would expect much more impressive and colorful graphics. The soundtrack is also sub par.

As a dragon rider capable of communicating with dragons, you take on various missions riding your dragon as you attempt to uncover a mysterious virus that is threatening the population of your new planet. As you enter the level you are on a preplanned route as you shoot down enemy dragons, missiles, and other threatening items. While that may sound fun, this game does a horrible job and takes the enjoyment out of a simple idea.



Making it worse is all of the micro-transactions. While the game is free, the ability to level up and attain an advantage in the game will cost you money. While you can level up normally, you are also able to do it through real money transfers. Something I avoided at all cost.

If you are looking for something new and won't cost you anything Crimson Dragon is a good choice; however, if you want something that will keep you interested and playing far longer than a few hours I would look elsewhere. Crimson Dragon is mediocre at best.

Overall 5/10
