Dragon Bane Elite is a free MMORPG iPhone game developed by DIGITAL CLOUD LIMITED. If you’re a fan of RPGs and dragon slaying, this freebie is well worth checking out.
When you start the game up, you can select your character’s appearance and class. Classes include hunters, berserkers, and swordsmen and swordswomen. Strength, intelligence, HP, and skills vary slightly from class to class, so it’s worth picking your class based on attributes, rather than just how cool your character looks.
Overall, Dragon Bane Elite has an intriguing story, a classic RPG flavor, and a fun MMORPG atmosphere that makes you want to play more. There are tons of monsters to destroy and alliances to forge, making this game feel like an instant classic.
A couple of caveats. While Dragon Bane Elite is free to download and play, users may opt to shell out real money to buy extra in-game items, such as Diamonds. These microtransactions can add up quick, so if you share your device, you might want to disable in-app purchases.
A minor quibble: it sometimes feels odd that the dialogue boxes are used to move the story forward, but also used to give you in-game tips. I feel like a second style of dialogue box to cleanly delineate between dialogue and tutorial elements would be more ideal.
It’s also worth noting that you cannot play Dragon Bane Elite without an internet connection. That’s to be expected with any MMORPG, but it bears repeating given recent gamer outrage over games that can’t be played offline.
Featuring gorgeous graphics, intriguing character designs, and nine different character classes, Dragon Bane Elite is a must-try for any casual or hardcore MMORPG fan.
