Players become of mighty dragons to protect the land from an evil insurgence in I of the Dragon, a fast-action RPG with elements of strategy and simulation. The people of the fantasy world of Nimoan had almost forgotten the old prophecies -- until they began to be fulfilled. Now the arrival of a great evil seems imminent. Already malevolent forces -- a horde of monsters -- gather at the edges of civilization. Yet the prophecies also told of a last hope: the return of a powerful dragon who would turn back the impending invasion. As the story begins, players take the role of a dragon who is young and weak, allowing them a choice of custom upgrades as they make their way through the campaign and face increasingly difficult challenges.
