I shouldn't be surprised that Dragon Commander is out today, after all, we seem to be have been writing about it forever. Somehow, because it had been spotted in the incubation chambers of press events so often, I'd started to believe this was one speckled egg that might never hatch. Alec's most recent preview identified the game thusly - "Dragon Commander’s a bit like an over-friendly dog that jumps up at you, headbutts you in the crotch, licks you on the eye and then farts in helpless excitement when you come home." Is that a seven out of ten? It's an odd game but there's an unexpectedly descriptive launch trailer below that summarises incredibly well.
]]>Divnity: Dragon Commander looks special. It looks mad and it looks silly. And it also looks like you can get into the beta right now if you pre-order. Adam has already played it, and he says: "I’d planned for dragons with jetpacks strapped to their backsides, but I hadn’t expected a skeleton to rebuke me for refusing to discriminate on grounds of gender and sexuality."
Latest developer video below. Aren't they handsome?
]]>Dragons wearing jetpacks are far from the strangest thing in Divinity: Dragon Commander. The politically charged fantasy world is a carnival of the unexpected. Take the undead - far from being clattering bags of bones with nothing to say for themselves, they include among their ranks a tragicomic princess and her fearsome fundamentalist father. It's easy, as I did, to become distracted by the game's abundance of character, but strategic planning and rapid-fire reactions are necessary to succeed once battle begins. The game finally has a release date - August 6th - and the video below shows various members of Larian preparing to apply the final touches.
]]>Divinity: Dragon Commander contains two distinct components and in just over an hour of playing, I found much to like in both. I’m not entirely sure that the parts combine in a particularly meaningful way, but the total package managed to surprise me more times in that hour than many games do in a week of playing. You may well expect one side of the game, if a fast-paced RTS revolving around dragons wearing jetpacks is ever truly expected, but it’s the remainder that inspires the strongest response.
]]>Divinity: Dragon Commander's title used to confuse me. I couldn't help but wonder: do I command dragons, or am I a dragon who's also a commander? Turns out, the answer's a resounding, fire-belching "both!" The strategy spinoff of the semi-traditional fantasy RPG series sees you corralling mad steampunk armies and strapping into the jetpack (yes, jetpack) of a mighty alpha-reptile. My brain's typically disparate tactical and dragon lobes are lighting up in a fashion that best resembles one of those cheapo party disco ball things. I am, in other words, quite interested. Have a lizardly look for yourself after the break.
