Dragon Fighter

STORY / GAMEPLAY
The game is a classic horizontal shoot 'em up much like the R-Type series, but this time instead of flying a spaceship, you're riding on the back of a mighty dragon, shooting fireballs! Apart from just shooting everything that moves and fly, you may gain several gold coins (by killing enemies) that will help you buy items to increase your firepower or extra speed. You may also go gambling! Be lucky and you'll fill your inventory with extra coins to spend later! The gameplay is rather difficult, as the screens are swarmed by ferocious beasts of all kind. Thankfully, plenty of extra energy can be purchased along the way in order to keep your vitality high! Overall, Dragon Fighter is a quite simple action shooter, but still is a unique release for the Commodore Amiga.

GRAPHICS / SOUND
The game has colorful and very appealing graphics but without any special visual effects like multi-layered parallax-scrolling etc. expected more since this game was exclusively released for the Amiga hardware. What really impresses though is the music, especially the tune during gameplay which is very well composed and adds to the action along with a variety of sampled sound effects.
