Dragon Wars, Retro Turn Based Fantasy, Another Classic Released On GOG With Linux Support

Dragon Wars is a very retro turn based fantasy game, and it has been released on your favourite DRM free store with Linux support.

It's another game that takes advantage of the excellent DOSBox project, and after my testing it's flawless work from GOG to make it "just work" as usual. GOG's commitment to getting Linux a lot of classic games pleases me, and I hope we soon have all the classics using DOSBox that Windows has. It's only a matter of time!

About the game (Official)
The designers of the Bard's Tale series, Wasteland and Battle Chess pooled their talents to create the ultimate role-playing fantasy. The result was Dragon Wars.

Sailing across uncharted seas, you and your party are in search of a legendary paradise called Dilmun - a place where the streets are paved with gold and no one wants for anything.

However, King Drake of Phoebus has declared all magic illegal - magickers have been slain or fled into exile. In retaliation, enemy islands have threatened to unleash their guardian dragons, the most destructive force in the world. While docked at a harbor in Dilmun, you are arrested on suspicion of spellcasting.

Imprisoned and stripped of everything but your wits, you are sentenced to life in a cesspool called Purgatory. Magic is your only salvation - a worldly possession in a world possessed.

- Over 60 monsters and 65 spells.
- A unique combat system: choose complexity of combat resolution, determine spell strength, select tactics of ranged combat.
- A paragraph book to enhance storytelling.
