If you ever are looking for an old unknown PS2 game to try then this is one hidden gem that I'd reccomend.Unlike the other games on the system, Drakan follows a more old-school approach to the adventure paradigm - diversifying its dungeon crawls with above-land quests, and bolstering its character development with a good story (and a naturally evil villain) that packs lots of side quests and sub-plots. The game doesn't start off slow but instead at a normal progression pace and then towards the end it feels like it goes by fast.

I don't want to spoil anything on the story of the game but it is without a doubt a great one.The pacing of it is just right too. There are a ton of sidequests in the game. There are of course a great variety to the enemies of the game, the sidequests, the areas etc. Overall, the game has a lot of options when it comes to it's combat. You can play the game one time with a balanced run and then challenge yourself to a Melee or Archery mainly run. This makes each playthrough of the game more unique. The higher the level the better of that option you can get. In the Game you level up a total of 12 times. She wields many varieties from fireball to healing to time slowing and impalement. She also has equippable armor that changes her appearance! Remember this is a 2002 game so that's pretty amazing. How large? Rynn can weild all of the following: Now this is my favorite unique part of the game. These do all deplete the mp gauge though so it must refill to use his breathing more. On top of that he can charge up the moves to do a more powerful version of them. Arokh has the ability to also breathe lightning, ice, darkness and more. However, another thing that makes this game unique is that Arokh can breathe more than just fire. Arokh, like most dragons can breath fire to shoot down enemies. You ride Arokh, the last survivor of The Order of the Flame and a dragon bonded to Rynn. One of the most unique parts of Drakan is the dragon riding which is a concept that not many games have. It's graphics may not be as sharp as with some games like Kingdom Hearts or Final Fantasy but for 2002 and transitioning consoles it did pretty well and the enviornments in the game are amazing. Drakan: The ancient Gates however, remains a much better game over the Order of the Flame.

#DRAKEN PS2 PC#
Since Order of the Flame was released on the PC and The Ancient Gates on the Playstation 2 not many know about the others existence unless they look into it deliberately. Drakan: The Ancient Gates picks up Rynn's story from where it left off in Order of the Flame. She is a female protagonist and back in the age of 2002 this was quite rare as compared to how much more often female protagonists appear in games now. With not many people knowing about it and it being so unique and me being a big fan of it today I will be talking about Drakan: The Ancient Gates.ĭrakan The Ancient Gates features Rynn as the main protagonist of the game. It is a sequel to Drakan: The Order of the Flame and is a great successor to it. Despite this not many people know about the game. Releasing in Januin NA regions and July 5th of the same year in Pal regions Drakan the Ancient Gates became one of the most unique games on the Playstation 2 ever.
