Dragon View
SCORE: 66
I finally got caught up video capturing and reviewing all of the
Evercade compilation cartridges. With time running out in the month I
needed to find some retro video games for review. It dawned on me that I
had started reviewing each of the games in the Evercade cartridges one
at a time. I even have a listing that I logged quite a few games on.
Dragon View comes from that listing. I used my video from the past to
remind myself of the content in this video game. Dragon View can be
found on the Super NES, and the Evercade. I am thankful I had the money
and time to play this video game.
Dragon View is a 2D side scrolling action adventure role playing video
game. The story can be interesting as we learn about this fantasy world.
There is violence, magic, lack of attire, enticement to lust, false
gods, and more in Dragon View. The characters are done in some nice
large models. In fact Dragon View is one of those games that goes away
from that squat hero concept that too many RPGs of the time were limited
by. Dragon View can also be challenging. Dragon View reminds me of other
video games like Exile for example. There have always been trends and
copycats in the video game industry. Back in the day Kemco published
Dragon View. Currently Piko Interactive is the company publishing Dragon
View.
The attempts at humor are found in Dragon View. I like how the
translators did their bit to infuse this action adventure role playing
video game with a bit of humor. The surely joke reminds me of some
comedies from that era. Fighting can get tedious in Dragon View. I also
hated how the enemies could whack me whenever they wanted to. As players
progress in Dragon View they will get more powerful and be able to take
on harder enemies. Grinding is recommended in Dragon View.
The music in Dragon View sounds nice. The animations are generally
pretty decent in Dragon View. I feel like there is some depth to the
characters in Dragon View. I also noticed that there is emotion in a lot
of Dragon View. The dialogue in Dragon View makes me feel like some of
the characters are almost real. The way the characters present
themselves is another aspect of Dragon View that increases the realism.
I know this is fantasy. It is nice to see writers working diligently to
add some depth to the characters. If you have the time and interest in
retro video games then check out Dragon View.
