A dungeon beneath the Fallen Dragons Temple
Tale of Fallen Dragons is a roguelike dungeon crawler built around an Ancient Chinese story. Long ago, nine untamed sons of the Legendary Dragon ravaged the land until the descendants of the Five Elder Tribes joined forces and bound them with a powerful imprison spell beneath the Fallen Dragons Temple. Decades later the dragons' names have faded from memory, and a new legend begins in the dungeon below. You descend into that dungeon and fight the various sons of the Dragon, each with its own shape and none resembling any dragon you have faced before. The maps are randomly generated, so every battle presents a new challenge. Along the way you collect from more than 180 different items, which combine into even more builds.
Playing together with Online Co-op
The game supports Online Co-op, so you and your friends can take on the dungeon as a group. Each of you brings your own loadout of items into the randomly generated maps, and since the layouts change between runs, no two sessions play out the same way. The dragons you meet are all different, so coordinating who handles which threat keeps the run moving. Roguelike runs reward replay value: when a run ends, you start again with fresh maps and fresh item combinations.
What to know before starting
This is an Early Access title from BigTapir Games, so the game is still being developed and things may change as it grows. The art style is drawn from real artifacts from China, and the developers chose "Artifact" as their theme to show a side of Chinese culture beyond the usual kung fu and the Four famous novels. Expect a run-based structure where each attempt is a new roll of the map and the items you find, rather than a single continuous campaign.
