Dragon Riddler

Dragon Riddler is not a word game. It’s a heroic fantasy adventure powered by dynamic word‑based systems that blend the adventurer’s abilities with the player’s skill.

Summary

In this turn‑based word‑puzzle adventure, you are a Dragon Riddler: an adventurer seeking fabled dragon gold.

Journey through a fantasy land where words hold power and reality is scattered into mythic Regions. Each Region is guarded by a powerful foe, protected by magical Gates, and patrolled by monsters and ruffians of all kinds. As you fight your way forward, every Gate you open reveals a prophecy describing the possible breed of the final dragon. The prophecy is hazy at first but becomes clearer as you progress. Each dragon breed has its own strengths and weaknesses, so prepare wisely.

Both the combat and magic systems rely on a word‑based mechanic that creates synergy between the adventurer’s abilities and the player’s skill, with a healthy dose of luck and mastery. By choosing the right combat stance, you can shift between defensive, balanced and aggressive styles, and a Blackjack‑like preparation phase plays a crucial role in breaking the magical Gate seals.

Improve your adventurer by earning XP for building strong words and spending it on various boons. Your foes come with their own buffs, debuffs, and traits, and circumstances may trigger both beneficial and harmful effects on the hero.

Qui aurum draconis quaerunt, parati sint resistendi eius malis.

Sed qui debiles sunt, peribunt tamen.

Esto audax! Esto fortis! Obviam ire draconi!

English Translation

Those who seek the dragon's gold, let them be prepared to resist its evils.

But those who are weak will perish nonetheless.

Be bold! Be strong! Go and face the dragon!
