Dragon's Dilemma Reviews

👍

That's a nice visual novel. Fun dialogs, charming story, good amount of choices. My only personal complaint is there's no dialog log and no option to rewind the dialog a bit, but that's just because I personally often forget small things.

I was surprised how much different dialog options change the game!

This game is not worth $15. It lasts about an hour to complete one play-through and while there is some replayability, there isn't enough to justify this price. A $5 price tag would probably be what'd change my mind from a 'don't buy' to a 'buy'. (I have 5 hours on account of leaving it open while AFK for long periods of time). Now, what's good about this game? The dialogue is very entertaining. As the store page suggests, you DO get to be a grumpy dragon, and *most* of what that entails. There are MANY hilarious bits of dialogue where I was audibly laughing. As for the bad? The music... listen to it for about 5 minutes, then put it on mute. It's nothing special. Visuals- There are few animations, and the main characters don't have many different frames. Most of the human characters look downright nightmarish in the lack of care given to their appearances (though this is subverted once, funnily enough). And then the neutral bits... The 'minigames'. They are obscenely easy, but mostly just serve to allow some interactability with the world, with consequences for doing better or worse. The story-- it's nothing special, but it manages.

I don't normally play visual novels, but the idea of being a cranky dragon sounded too fun to pass up. It's fun story with a mix of choices, minigames, and a heavy dose of comedy. I found myself laughing several times as I played through the story.
