A rare fantasy game is complete without powerful mythical creatures – best Dragon Games. Some projects offer to hunt fire-breathing lizards; others provide an opportunity to get into their skin and fight back wretched little people.
In this collection, we have collected the best single and online games in which dragons are present in one way or another.
List of Best Dragon Games:
DRAGON AGE SERIES
Despite the name, dragons are relatively rare in the series’s games – all because in the past, they were almost wholly exterminate. But to those with whom you will have to get acquainted, it is better not to meddle without high-level equipment: monsters can deliver many problems if it comes to battle. But the victory over the dragon will generously give the heroes experience points.
MONSTER HUNTER: WORLD
This game is entirely devoted to the hunt for the monsters – including dragons. And for this, you will have to make a lot of effort: the Elder Dragons are mighty and smart, so it is necessary to study their habits, develop a battle strategy, and call friends who will make a feasible contribution to taming the monster. The battles that take place in the vastness of Monster Hunter World, you will not soon forget.
THE ELDER SCROLLS V: SKYRIM
The protagonist of Skyrim is the Chosen One, Dragonborn, or Dragonborn. He can absorb dragon souls and use special Shouts that activate potent spells. Dragonborn appeared in Skyrim just in time: the dragon Alduin began to revive his fellows to destroy the world. Our hero has no choice but to start the genocide of ancient creatures.
In The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, you can spend, without exaggeration, hundreds of hours. It is enough to download the game – and you run the risk of settling in Skyrim: exploring various locations, completing quests, equipping your home, reading books, learning skills, and so on. Here, the dragons act as worthy opponents, and after death, they leave souls that give access to new Shouts.
DARK SOULS SERIES
More than one dragon can found in the Dark Souls games. Not all of them will turn out to be hostile: you can even talk to some and get useful items.
But more often, of course, you will have to fight, and rest assured that you will remember each fight for a long time. Suppose the most ordinary enemy can kill the lingering protagonist. What about a huge lizard, which will easily send an adventurer to the nearest fire with a single attack?
DRAGON`S DOGMA: DARK ARISEN
If the game’s name contains the word “Dragon`s,” then this is a game about dragons. In this case, the mythical monster acts as a villain, destroys the main character’s native village, and steals his heart. However, the protagonist turns out to be the Chosen One, and, as we know, they are forgivable for such minor shortcomings as the absence of the most important (for any other person) organ.
Dogma:
Dark Arisen is an exciting adventure set in a large, diverse world, where dynamic battles, giant bosses, interesting characters, and a flexible pumping system await you. And dragons, of course, where without them – you are still wondering why the villain needed that heart?
DIVINITY II: EGO DRACONIS
An unusual Action RPG from the Belgian studio Larian (responsible for one of the best RPGs of 2017 ) tells the story of the adventures of a dragon hunter who forcibly gained the ability to transform into what he considered his enemy. Along with the new appearance, our hero acquired wings, fiery breath, and other useful skills that will help him in exploring the world of Rivellon.
And if the gameplay for a person is almost nothing special (apart from reading the NPC’s thoughts), then the “dragon” part is a fantasy flight simulator with air battles and magic bombing.
DIVINITY: DRAGON COMMANDER
Another game from the Divinity series, but made in the genre of a hybrid turn-based strategy and RTS. Here the player enters into the heir’s rights to the throne, in whose veins the blood of a dragon flows. His task is to lead the kingdom and subjugate the entire Rivellon.
Divinity:
Dragon Commander is not easy to play, but it is also very exciting. Let’s start with the fact that the gameplay of the project divides into four parts: you will have to manage provinces on the global map, practice the art of diplomacy, and when it comes to war – give orders to generals and personally fight on the battlefield, of course, controlling a dragon.
MIDDLE-EARTH: SHADOW OF WAR
Middle-earth: Shadow of War is a game about fantasy Middle-earth. And where there is fantasy, there are dragons. And here they are: the game has a separate branch of skills that allow you to tame and tame these creatures to use them in battles. Of course, to get the opportunity to ride a dragon, you will have to spend a lot of time pumping, but it’s worth it – when you catch and conquer a flying monster, you don’t need the rest of the mounts.
SPYRO REIGNITED TRILOGY
The 3D platformer Spyro Reignited Trilogy tells the story of the adventures of Spyro the dragon, who travels across dragon worlds and rescues his imprisoned brothers. The gameplay boils down to exploring levels, finding collectibles, and battling both common opponents and bosses.
Familiar with Spyro
You may already be familiar with Spyro if you find yourself in the PlayStation 1 console days because it was on this platform that the hero first looked at. Reignited Trilogy is a remake of three games in the series (the first part, Ripto’s Ragel and Year of the Dragon) on the PC – players will expect all the same tube adventures, but with a noticeably prettier picture.
ELMARION: DRAGON TIME
In the RPG Elmarion: Dragon time, you have to get used to the skin of a fire-breathing creature and unleash anger on your enemies with destructive force. According to the plot, our dragon is kind, and he fights for people against the undead army. Although humans do not have protection from fire, so if that.
Controlling the dragon
Controlling the dragon, you will explore the world around you and protect human cities from the invasions of the minions of darkness, and you will also burn whatever your heart desires. The “character” can be pumped, but do not think that you will not encounter obstacles on the way because the enemies here are powerful, and there are quite a few of them.
ANGELS WITH SCALY WINGS
Angels with Scaly Wings stands out from the other games in this collection because this is not some action or RPG, but a visual novel, the dragons’ heroes. In the role of an ordinary person, the player finds himself in the dragon world, where he will have to serve faithfully the fictional, as it seemed to the protagonist earlier, creatures. And also to reveal a conspiracy, save the world, and find love.
Unfortunately, the game does not have an official translation into Russian, and therefore if you are going to play, we recommend keeping a dictionary at hand. Otherwise, this is an excellent visual novel, which will appeal to those who have not previously encountered the genre.
NEVERWINTER
Leading our sub- MMORPG Neverwinter is a D&D rule-based MMORPG (Mod 4). Here, in addition to an epic storyline, dynamic combat system, a detailed character editor, and custom content, players will meet with dragons, each of which is capable of presenting many surprises in battle. However, it would help if you did not ignore them because defeating the monster will bring a lot of experience and use rewards. In particular, coupons needed to improve guild fortresses.
DRAGON KNIGHT
Few dragon games released on PC allow you to raise these creatures as pets. Dragon Knight, a browser-based MMORPG, gives you such an opportunity: here, you can get your dragon, which will become a reliable assistant in numerous battles. An extensive world, excellent graphics, exciting pumping, and exciting turn-based combat included.
DARK AND LIGHT
Large-scale MMORPG with sandbox elements, in which, among all other creatures, there are dragons. Here they can be tamed, saddled, and later used as assistants. Of course, the giant will not voluntarily put on a yoke: you have to sweat over taming it. But if successful, the player will gain control of a powerful force that will come in handy when traveling around the game world.
DUNGEONS & DRAGONS ONLINE
MMORPG is based on the rules of the D&D tabletop role-playing game (revision 3.5). Players will have to explore a large world, clear dungeons, develop their characters, trade, master professions, and so on. Of course, dragons are also present here, both as opponents and the role of a separate playable Dragonborn race. Despite its venerable age, Dungeons & Dragons Online is still a success among gamers.
TIME OF DRAGONS
An online game in which dragons, in addition to their abilities, are equipped with various weapons – missiles, lasers, and other high-tech gadgets. You can destroy opponents in six different modes, and a pumping system is provided for battle pets. Time of Dragons is not enough stars from the sky, but it will do as an MMO-action game for a few nights. Also, this project is available for free.
DRAGON: THE GAME
A dragon simulator in which you can fly over fields, forests, and mountains in the guise of a fire-breathing lizard and fight with other players. The features of the game include ample opportunities for pumping and customizing the character. Still, you should warn that you should download it only if you are ready to put up with very outdated graphics.
SCHOOL OF DRAGONS
MMORPG School of Dragons is based on the cartoon “How to Train Your Dragon.” Like Hiccup, the player will try to find a common language with the fire-breathing “monsters” – to save them, withdraw and train. In total, there are over 60 different dragons, among which you may be familiar with Toothless, Gromigilda, Death Grab, and others.
Storyline
The game also boasts a storyline, an abundance of characters, epic tasks, and many activities. The game was created primarily for a young and very young audience that, after watching the cartoon, they wanted to visit the island of Olukh.

Characters that are more than familiar to fans of the series (Jon Snow, Arya Stark, and so on) can also accept into the service.
The generous aunt Daenerys Targaryen will give the gamer a dragon egg, from which a severe helper to the army will hatch. “Pet” can be raised, developed its talents and skills, and sent to explore various Westeros areas. Unfortunately, you will not be able to control the dragon, but there is nowhere without him.
WORLD OF WARCRAFT
Dragons are frequent guests in WoW. The ancient titans created them. Some of them act as powerful allies or dangerous enemies in the game – for example, Deathwing, through whose fault a devastating Cataclysm occurred in Azeroth. An entire expansion dedicates. In general, in your travels around the world of Warcraft, you will come across dragons – do not even hesitate.
BONUS: FAR CRY 3: BLOOD DRAGON
In 2013, Ubisoft released a crazy standalone add-on for the acclaimed action movie Far Cry 3. The shooter, called Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon, is made in a retro style, filled with many jokes and references to action movies of the 80s and 90s, and pleases with hurricane shootouts to an electronic soundtrack. There are also mechanical dragons here, which are so much fun to set against enemy camps.
DRAGONS WE LOST: SCALEBOUND
In 2014, Platinum Games announced the action RPG Scalebound for PC and Xbox One. The game is dedicated to the adventures of a guy named Drew, who got into an unfamiliar world and was associated with a giant dragon. The two heroes were supposed to defeat powerful enemies and save many parallel universes. Still, for some reason, in 2017, the publisher Microsoft canceled the game, so, unfortunately, we will never know about the fate of Drew and his new friend.
