Just like with The Ancients' Gates this is such a childhood gem for me. I always loved the Drakan games and I hope they can see more love through GOG one day. Flying around on your dragon while wielding a flaming sword and killing a bunch of skeletons and goblins never gets old, it's just pure fun.
There still isn't really a modern gaming experience like this. Truly open world gameplay - approach the overworld on foot with Rynn hack and slashing and magicing her way through the Wartok menace or on Arokh's back dog fighting other dragons or liquidating any Wartok too stupid to run away from several tonnes of angry lizard. Seemlessly moving between Rynn and Arokh's gameplay as you see fit. Want to run around a cave system? Do it. Want to call Arokh and fly to some little nook in the mountains on a whim? Do it, you might find hidden treasure!
Rynn's truly was the best of the original Lara Croft-alikes of the late 90s.
Great soundtrack, voice acting, solid graphics (for the time), and even a thriving mod scene give more than enough reason to jump back into Order of the Flame over and over. Thankfully PCXL and other pc gaming magazines of my teenage years brought this game to my attention and I've been shouting about it to anyone who would listen ever since.
I always played this with my sister. Good times. Loved the controls of flying the dragon en shooting enemies. It was a blast (hehehe).
The use of colors and atmosphere is better in games than the pursuit of the most realistic graphics.
Drakan: Order of the Flame is an action-adventure game that gives you the opportunity to take flight on a dragon and having him move and fight freely through, for the time, very detailed environments. This alone is a level of awesome, few games have achieved since!
This actually was one of my first video games. I remember playing it on my parents' PC together with my little sister, taking turns after each death. For some of the platforming in the early parts of the game, we even shared controls, one controlling the camera and movement, while the other timed jumps and rolls.
The movement of Arokh felt wonderful and even though the levels are quite linear for the most part the flying gave me a feeling of freedom that wasn't comparable to anything of it's time.
The characters of Rynn and especially Arokh are another strong point of this one, and I can still quote some of the dialogue all these years later.
My username clearly reflects that the Game stuck with me and even now I like to think back to one of the more unique action games of all time.
I'd say that this is in the Top 3 of most influential games for me and it would be awesome to experience it again on a modern system.
This game HAS to be on GoG, it is basically abandonware at this point. It's a hidden gem. I love the atmosphere of this game, the exploration of the huge maps, riding Arokh (the dragon), the large amount of weapons you can find and so on. It is really sad that this game is more obscure nowadays. It's such a solid classic and does not deserve to be forgotten! Let's hope this game will finally be on GoG!
I would love to have the chance to play this one! I played its sequel, The Ancients' Gates, just a few years ago and I was caught by surprise how enjoyable it was! I wish I knew about this series earlier!
I still own the original CD-ROM of this game. Sadly, it doesn't even install properly. I thought about building an old Win 98 PC with all the required hardware, so I could play it again. But I really hope GOG decides this is a classic that needs to be labeled a GOOD OLD GAME
Super fun one of a kind game. I only played it recently actually and I loved the mechanics of having a dragon sidekick and being able to fly, fight, explore in the large levels specifically. Its not a perfectly balanced game but the sheer cool factor of true dragon rider gameplay makes up for any flaws. A very rare gem and more people absolutely have to play it!
