The most frustrating aspect of the game is with flight. Unfortunately, Dawn of the Dragon has some flaws that detract from the game. If you’ve ever played God of War, you’ll find the set up quite similar. You’ll often find yourself combating wave after wave of enemies including a final, huge boss. A specific attack is needed to get rid off the mask and then regular attacks become effective.The game is a mix of action and platformer and has quite a lot of hack-n-slash action to go with it. Next to the regular enemies there are now elite enemies that were a mask with a certain colour. Fury is now determined through a meter that fills up during attacks. They are replaced with dark crystals that need to be destroyed as they drain magic. The amount of blue ones provided is based on a melee combo system.įury gems have been removed. Gems include blue ones to upgrade moves, red ones restore health, and green ones make available element attacks through dragon magic.

Collected gems provide power-ups and both characters can also equip pieces of dragon armour. Spyro attacks with fire, electricity, earth and ice, while Cynder controls poison, fear, wind and shadow. This edition also provides a cooperative mode with Spyro and Cynder and with just a single player it is possible to switch between them at any time. New to the series is the ability to fly at any time. Just like the previous game, Dawn of the Dragon is a third-person action game with a focus on fighting and exploration even though progress is entirely linear. They travel through Dragon City, the Burned Lands and the Floating Islands to confront Malefor at his lair. After escaping their prison with Sparx and Hunter, they are shown what the Dark Master has done after he escaped from the Well of Souls during the Night of Eternal Darkness. They are former foes, but the Dark Master binds them through green energy chains.



It starts when Spyro and Cynder are freed from their crystalline prison. Dawn of the Dragon is the third and final chapter of the Legend of Spyro trilogy.
