How to Train Your Dragon is an action-adventure game based upon the film of the same name. It was developed by Étranges Libellules and Griptonite Games, and released by Activision on March 23, 2010, for the Wii, Xbox 360, PlayStation 3 and the Nintendo DS. The game enables players to create their own dragons and move through a series of levels, or to fight amongst friends. It has received generally mixed reviews from critics.[1] North American Xbox 360 cover art The game takes place a year after the movie's ending. After defeating the Red Death, as a form of celebration, the Tribe has created a festival which they call "Thor'sday Thursday". On this festival, the Vikings always hold a dragon tournament and all of the teenagers are encouraged to participate with the dragons that they've trained. Players can play as either Astrid or Hiccup, the main human characters of the film. (Although Hiccup has his leg, he lost it in the film.) Before entering the actual tournament, players must use the training grounds to train their dragon to fight. After entering the tournament, they must defeat all of the other opponents and, eventually, win the dragon tournament (by defeating Snotlout Jorgenson) and be named dragon-taming champion. The player can create and customize their own dragon in the dragon den, where they also take care of the dragons, feeding it food the players have found all around Berk, the setting of the series. After finishing dragon fights, players have to help Gobber gather ingredients for some food for the dragons. The ingredients are all located in the Wild Zone. To unlock the Wild Zone, the player must help a handyman Viking to repair the bridge connecting to the Wild Zone by navigating around Berk, borrowing tools from other Vikings. In the Wild Zone, the player can also enter caves and complete mini games with their dragon.[2] The game also has online features.
Reception
The game received generally mixed or average reviews. On Metacritic, the Xbox 360 version received a score of 58 out of 100.[6] Gaming Trend gave the review "From my perspective, this title fails to find its audience – it doesn't deliver enough content for the older kids, and the frustration factor is too high for younger kids. I'd say you could catch this one when Toys R' Us runs their next 2-for-1 sale, but I'd be hard pressed to recommend it at full retail price." IGN gave the PlayStation 3 and Xbox 360 versions a score of 4.6.[1][7]
Published 4 years ago: February 20, 2019 at 10:00 am Movie tie-in games that pop up with little fanfare are seldom good, so I didn’t expect much from Dreamworks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders. I certainly didn’t expect a charming, puzzle-packed old school Zelda-style action role-playing game. What a pleasant surprise. Released last week on Xbox One, Playstation 4, Switch and PC in advance of the third instalment of the How To Train Your Dragon film franchise, Dragons: Dawn of New Riders is not a video game adaptation of the film. Instead, it’s a new adventure set in the world of HTTYD, developed by Climax Studios. Rather than taking control of one of the series’ established characters, players control a new human, the amnesiac scholar Scribbler, and a new hybrid dragon named Patch. With the aid of Hiccup, Toothless, Astrid and other champions of the Isle of Berk, Scribbler and Patch brave bandit-infested islands and puzzled-filled dungeons in order to recover the new rider’s missing memories.  It’s not the type of game I would normally take a chance on, but I do love the movies. Also, I was stuck in the hospital following a surgical procedure and was bored out of my skull. It was play this, or fall asleep watching Netflix. I made a good choice. Dawn of New Riders is an action role-playing game in the vein of older Zelda titles like A Link To The Past. Scribbler and Patch traverse overworld islands, facing off against trappers and other perils. Though he’s a scholar, Scribbler knows a thing or two about fighting, taking down foes with various weapons, blocking their blows with his shield or dodging and rolling out of danger. Patch the dragon initially acts as support for Scribbler, using his frost breath to freeze enemies, making it easier for his rider to finish them off. As Patch grows and gains more powers, he becomes more useful in a fight. Patch is mostly used as a puzzle-solving device. When Scribbler comes across an impassable body of water, players can switch to Patch and use his ice breath to make a path. When Patch grows and gains lightning breath, the dragon can open new areas and activate switches and devices using electricity. When the pair descend into dungeons, they can split up to activate switches and open paths. They are the ultimate co-op pair. There’s a lot of common dungeoneering and exploring in Dawn of New Riders. It’s a game that doesn’t do a lot of new things, but makes great use of classic ARPG mechanics. The combat is responsive, and the puzzles are mildly challenging. There’s a crafting element to the game, with Scribbler collecting materials that can be used to brew potions or forge and upgrade weapons. The game even incorporates my favourite action RPG feature, equipment that actually shows up on the player character when equipped. I wouldn’t say Dreamworks Dragons: Dawn of New Riders is an outstanding action role-playing game. It does the whole brief grunting thing rather than being fully voiced. It’s a short adventure, clocking in at six or seven hours. And while it has dragon flight, it’s simply a method of transportation instead of a vehicle for grand air battles. As licensed games go, especially those aimed at a younger audience, Dawn of New Riders is nevertheless much more than I expected. If you’re looking for a way to explore the world of How To Train Your Dragon following the upcoming movie, this is a heck of a fun way to do it. More From Kotaku Australia |
