About This Demo

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.

While adventures in Dragon Riddler are procedurally generated — giving the game near‑infinite replayability — the demo has the following limitations:

• Limited set of adventures: Only the weekly challenge and three preset adventures are available. In the full game, you can play unlimited unique adventures in addition to weekly and daily challenges.
  
• Level limit: Only the first two Regions of any adventure can be played. After defeating second Region Guardian, your adventurer retires automatically, as if you had chosen that option.
  
• No practice mode: The full game includes practice modes for word duels and Gate challenges. These are not available in the demo.
  
• Only one dragon breed and no breath weapons: The demo includes only the “Tyrant” dragon breed, and dragons do not use breath weapons. The full game features six dragon breeds, each with unique strengths, weaknesses, abilities, and tactics.
