There, they find out that race of three-faced monsters, called Desert Lords, have been terrorizing the human population recently. In order to fight them, the humans need powerful allies. But the gateway to the world of dragons has been sealed, and only a dragon of the Elder Breed can open it. Rynn and Arokh must now venture to the dragon world, restore the bond between humans and dragons, and defeat the Desert Lords.

This was my first RPG. The game that kicked off my fascination with adult fantasy. I was a kid so maybe it shouldn't have but I didn't understand it at the time. It was an adventure fantasy RPG that had me constantly going back and exploring the world. I also pretended that I lived in one of the houses in the first town. Good times.
Great game with a great story set in a dark fantasy world with beautiful scenery. It's a classic and full of adventure, and there's nothing cooler than riding on the back of a magificent, powerful dragon! Venture through swamps, caves, islands, tundra, and deserts and defeat a variety of monsters on a quest to stop a race of demonic desert lords from conquering the world of Drakan.
I played Drakan: Order of the Flame in my childhood, and I'm happy I picked up this sequel; it both satisfied my nostalgia and gave me a new experience. Love both games.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates was not the sequel, that Drakan: Order of the Flame would have deserved. But it was nevertheless a very good action-adevnture that kept much of the spirit of of the first Drakan.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates was unfortunately very ill-fated: It was released exclusively for PS2, a fact that irritated and alienated the fan base of the first Drakan on PC.
Drakan: The Ancients' Gates never received the attention and love that it deserved. It would do the game justice to be finally playable on PC as well and to find a place on GOG.com
I still have this on PS2 and the reason I won't give that device up. Played it thru at least twice. And if IIRC one of the deadliest weapons in the game was a chicken!
This was the firs RPG I remember playing, the world felt huge, flying around on the dragon never got old. My dad and I must have put dozens of hours into this game and to this day it has a special place in my nostalgia bubble.
At my age my gaming years are counted so I really hope it makes it to GoG soon. After learning that a german base fan group was asking for the sequel to Drakan: Order of the Flame, it's been decades of longing for this. Up to day I've been unable to experience Drakan: The Ancient Gates because it was PS/2 only. And it came to the point that I almost purchase a FAT PS/3 console (it runs ps/2 titles) in 2024 just to play it not knowing if I was even going to be able to find the PS/2 disk. Can't wait to have it available in GoG.
Monster HunterMonster Hunter is an online action-hunting game by CAPCOM for the PlayStation 2 released on March 11th, 2004 in Japan, and September 21st, 2004 in North America. The game is a fantasy hunting simulator filled with many deadly monsters. Like actual hunting, successfully killing or capturing the monsters requires significant strategy, skill and involved resource management. While initially considered a commercial failure, Monster Hunter would go on to become one of CAPCOM's highest selling franchises.
Despite featuring an offline mode, Monster Hunter was primarily an online game. The official servers were shut down on December 31, 2007 in North America and Europe, and July 1, 2011 in Japan. This means that it is now impossible to play online on official CAPCOM servers. Despite this, the game still features a small active community on private servers.Action Fantasy Survival
