DRAKERIDER Out Now on iOS

Posted by Ben Bateman on 06/09/2012

 

Kill or be killed. Experience the perils of adventure with your ferocious sidekick in this brand-new smartphone RPG!


The stage of DRAKERIDER is set in Igraine, a world on the brink of destruction due to the repeated attacks of the Dread. Aran Lawson, once an ordinary tracker, now finds himself as a dragalier—and mankind's final hope. This is the story of our hero and his dragon companion, Eckhardt.

 

 

 

The game lets you take the reins with a battle system like no other. Instead of entering commands, control the chains to execute your strategy. Easing off the reins will allow Eckhardt the freedom to unleash powerful attacks. Too much leeway, however, will trigger his primal instincts, endangering Aran.

 

Led by Akifumi Kaneko, the game is developed by WITCHCRAFT Inc., famous for their work on various anime and other RPGs. This title maintains the high quality and integrity for which they are known.

 


Starting today, the first chapter is available as a free download from the iTunes Store. Chapters two through five are available for £4.99 / €5.49 each, and the full package for £14.99 / € 16.99.

In regards to the comments about translating games into EFIGS (English, French, German, Spanish, and Italian) it's perfectly fine to leave constructive feedback about how you'd like to see the games in your languages. In answer to why we don't translate these mobile titles it nearly always comes down to resources. The cost of translating into these languages, bug testing, and submitting the apps is usually far more expensive than Square Enix would make back. While this is not a "one size fits all" rule it's often the case when it comes to mobile titles.

＠Xemns92: Thanks, I didn't realize that.

@ReakoDivine that is not the simbol for dollars but for pounds, and pounds are worth more than euros :)

@ReakoDivine *ThumbsUp* i totally agree with you :) I am a non-english speaker, so should I complain too? No! Why? Do not take this the wrong way, I am proud of my country, and my language, but buisness is buisness, and according to me it would be unprofitable and useless.

Appart from that, mind if I ask a question.

It doesn't really bother me, but why are the European prices higher than the, well ''Dollar'' prices? Euros are worth more, so it should be the other way around.
Again, it doesn't bother me, it's just that I'm interested in knoweing why.
If you could asnwer me, that would be great.

My comment was talking about dollars, but it also applies to the Euro.

When it comes to iTunes the prices come in "tiers" and don't always accommodate for the current exchange rate. e.g. you always get games that are £0.69p/$0.99

@Alcest-Wizard: Please stop complaing about that. Every topic has you in it, complaining about an Spanish or whatnot release. You don't hear other countries complaining for a game in their specific language. They learn English. It seems to me you're decent at it, so just play it the way it is. Why would you possible want a release of your language THAT much? No offence, but it's starting to annoy me how you keep bugging SE with this.

Appart from that. It looks great, but I don't have an android. If I did, I'd be sure to get the remake of TWEWY first. Great, as always.

Looks like an interesting game, but i've got android. Please try to get it on play store

And another game in English... Why can't we enjoy your titles in our language? I think it's not fair... :(

Android? I'm still waiting for Final Fantasy Dimensions...
