Evaluation

Tale of Fallen Dragons entered Steam Early Access on February 6, 2017 and has never graduated to a full 1.0 release. During 2017 and into early 2018, the developer (BigTapir Games) was actively updating the game, shipping feature patches roughly every few weeks and delivering a major overhaul on January 25, 2018 that introduced new characters, improved graphics, and online 2-player gameplay. The last developer communication of any kind was an April 20, 2018 post announcing a discount sale. There have been no patch notes, announcements, or developer updates of any kind since that date — now more than eight years ago. The game remains purchasable in Early Access but shows no signs of continued development. With no 1.0 release, no developer statement about the game's future, and complete silence since April 2018, it is unclear whether development is still ongoing.

About this game

Long time ago, there were nine sons born from Legendary Dragon.

These untamed dragons had bullied around and caused massive damage to the land since their birth. To end this chaos, the descendants of Five Elder Tribes joined together and released a powerful imprison spell. Finally, the dragons were defeated and kept under the Fallen Dragons Temple.

Those stories of nine dragons slowly faded from people's memory after several decades. Yet in the dungeon beneath the Fallen Dragons Temple, a new legend just begun...

Game Features
is a Roguelike game based on ancient Chinese story. In the game you will experience:
----More than 180 different items, which will have even more combinations.
----Randomly generated maps, every battle is a new challenge.
----Various sons of the Dragon, none of them is the same, and none of them is like the Dragon you have ever known.

Origins
After we finished our last game, we`re considering how to make something special on Chinese Culture.
In other games and comics, such as Kongfu and the Four famous novels are already very common to see. But there is still a lot to be discovered.

Finally, we choose “Artifact” as our theme, and make our story based on “Nine sons of the Dragons”.

So, here comes Tale of Fallen Dragons, a different Chinese style game.

Hope you`ll enjoy it.
