What classes are there in Dragonkin? In Dragonkin, you can choose between four different classes. By drinking dragon blood, the heroes of this world develop their individual abilities, powers, and combat techniques.
- The Barbarian: The Barbarian is the leader of those who live in the northern part of the country. Since his element is ice, the Barbarian can not only hit hard like a true muscle head, but also freeze his opponents. With axe and hammer, he inflicts massive melee damage. The more damage you withstand as a Barbarian, the more powerful your attacks become.
- The Witch: The Witch dreams of a world where humans and dragons can live together. The dragon blood grants her powers related to the elements of water and electricity. With the Witch, you tend to stay at range, charging your spells and dealing damage from afar.
- The Warrior: Ever since childhood, the Warrior has been taught and trained by the best warriors. He fights with the element of fire. With him, you can hold your own in both melee and ranged combat. With his spear, which can also shoot flames, he is suited for both playstyles.
- The Archer: In combat, the Archer uses his skills to attack with the element of poison. If an arrow does not instantly kill its prey, the poison should finish the job and soon take down your opponents. Naturally, the Archer is primarily suited for ranged combat. With an area of poison, you also make yourself relatively untouchable.
Depending on your loot, your character build, and your personal preferences, you can also customize your powers and attacks. When you level up, you will have to decide how to combine your abilities to create the best hero for yourself. The game promises that you can regularly adapt your character to new opponents.
What can you expect in the world of Dragonkin? In Dragonkin, you can expect various biomes, each with its own regions, monsters, and special resources. Among other things, you will traverse a tundra, swamps, and volcanoes.
On your journey, you will learn the history of the world and face everything that poses a potential threat.
Your own town will grow and change based on your decisions and discoveries. You will decide which area of development to focus on, expand your buildings, or find new residents. In co-op mode, your teammates can also contribute to the construction of your town.
Moreover, you can experience the entire game and story in co-op mode. In local co-op, you can play with two players, while online you can play with up to four players.
