Freebie Friday: Slay the Dragon!


Every Friday you can find a free game to check out, courtesy of Gamer Reverie. The genres and quality will vary, so be sure to check every week to see what I've dug up for you!


    This won't be a series with a ton of pictures and explanations. Just a glance at the stats, a quick description of the game and its genre, and why I thought it was worth sharing (aside from being free).

THE STATS

Name: Slay the Dragon!
Developer: Slay the Dragon! Team
Publisher: The Animation Workshop
Release Date: February 5, 2021
Genres: Action, Casual, Free to Play, Indie
Available: Steam


    When Maj wishes for her little brother to disappear, a dragon swoops down to abduct him. Now, in order to rescue her little brother, Maj must traverse a fantastical landscape, overcome mighty foes, and ultimately reach the dragon's lair in order to slay her nemesis.

    "Slay the Dragon!" is an isometric hack and slash game inspired by old school adventure games and the Swedish countryside. It is a fun game with a gorgeous artstyle, beautiful music and an overall mood of nostalgia. Explore a fantastical landscape – golden fields, deep forests, waterfalls, high mountain peaks and treacherous caves – as you fight your way to your arch nemesis, the Dragon. Use an array of combos to defeat every enemy daring to stand in your way – from tiny chestnuts to enormous stone giants! Be sure to pick up every juicy hallon berry you come across – perhaps collecting them all will change something at the ending?

    "Slay the Dragon!" is a game suitable for all ages, but more importantly, it is targeted towards anyone who wishes to re-experience the wonders of childhood imagination. Make sure to take your time and enjoy the gorgeous vistas, accompanied by music composed by Tobias Dahl Nielsen and Lasse Skak Ernst. We hope that you will enjoy the story as much as we did when creating it. Happy adventure! 





Reasons to play this game: 

1.) It kinda has the same starting point as Labyrinth, and that's a great movie.
2.) Dragon.
3.) Inspired by old school adventure games (which I loved).
4.) The art style is beautiful!
5.) The music composers are named in the description of the game -- which always speaks volumes.
6.) It's a student project! That's so impressive!
