Dragons of Flame (ドラゴン・オブ・フレイム Doragon obu Fureimu) is a video game released in 1989 for various home computer systems and consoles. It is a sequel to Heroes of the Lance.[1]
Gameplay
Like Heroes of the Lance it is arcade oriented, with few RPG elements.[1] The style of the game is very much like its predecessor, horizontally scrolling fighting controlling one character at a time.
Plot
It is based on the second Dragonlance campaign module, Dragons of Flame, and the second half of the first Dragonlance novel Dragons of Autumn Twilight. The plot is a faithful representation of the books it is based on.
Development
Dragons of Flame was adapted from the Dragons of Flame printed adventure module.[2][3] The game Shadow Sorcerer is a sequel to this game's storyline, but has quite different gameplay.
Reception
According to GameSpy, "while the number of characters was increased to 10, the gameplay remained the same moderately competent, hack-'n-slash, side-scrolling action, marking this as another less than stellar entry on SSI's resume".[4]
