Dragon Star Varnir

Released: 6/11/2019

Taking place in a world where witches are cursed to give birth to dragons, one man tasked with hunting them soon finds his own fate intertwined with his former enemies. Fight against dragons in turn-based midair combat using tiers, transformations, and more to weaken them and devour their abilities! The fate of three witches is in your hands – will you choose to save them or sacrifice them to gain items and skills? Your decisions will change the course of the game! - Fight enemies midair in a unique, vertically-oriented battle system. Strategically position your party at different tiers to attack and disable the enemy's skills, one level at a time! - Perform enough attacks to unleash the dragon within, transforming each character to unlock devastating skills and newfound strength during battle! - Weaken an enemy dragon to devour its element! When the element is pierced into a character, they can absorb that dragon's skill tree. But at what cost...? - Three witches depend on you to bring them dragon's blood as food. Starve them, and they go mad. Overfeed them, and they become a dragon! - Will you keep the witches alive, or sacrifice them to obtain ultra rare items and skills? Your choices will change the game's endings!
