Nintendo’s Dragalia Lost (Free) has been getting a good showcase over the last few months in an exclusive Nintendo Direct and through trailers. If you missed it, Dragalia Lost is a mobile exclusive action RPG from Nintendo and Cygames that will release later this month in a few regions including USA on iOS and Android. You can also catch up on the full Nintendo Direct showcase for it and watch the initial English trailer for it here.
The official website has also been updated to showcase the various characters in their concept and in game designs. The great thing about Nintendo mobile games that get localised is they do great voice acting in English in localisations. The new story trailer showcases that alongside some of the music we can expect in game. The seventh prince of Alberia sets out for the Dragon Choosing ritual to form a pact with a dragon. You set out because the sacred shard that is protecting the city grows weak. Only the members of the royal family of Alberia can form pacts with dragons to harness their power.
Dragalia Lost will only launch in USA, Japan, Macau, Taiwan, and Hong Kong on September 27th. If you’re interested, you can pre-order it on the App Store or pre-register for it on Google Play You can also pre-register on the website with your Nintendo Account and there will be rewards for pre-registration tiers. Nintendo will likely continue to reveal more information through trailers and the official website as we approach the release date.
I'm really glad for Nintendo and it's attempts to get games on iOS but this...not so much. The overall story seems so over done for a JRPG. I'll sit on the fence and see how others react before I cast final judgement.
Yeah, this is not what I want from Nintendo. I'd pay a ton to have quality ports of their older Zelda games on my phone though. But their F2P stuff is just boring, in my opinion.
It’s not necessarily their games being f2p which is the problem. As seen with super mario run (which is a premium game), it has the same issues their other mobile games have. Their games are way too watered down and simplified to the point where you’re just looking at iconic characters flash on your mobile screen. Their mobile games will never succeed as long as they continue to over “mobile-ize” them.
Some of their mobile games are succeeding though, like Fire Emblem Heroes, which is huge, and Animal Crossing I believe is doing pretty well. Super Mario Run less so
Guess we have to give them another decade to play catch-up to the rest of the mobile scene. Again.
As I've said elsewhere, this looks like Colopl Rune Story, which was one of my favorite mobile games. It wasn't monumental in any way, but it was a homey, quick, fun mobile game. This reminds me of that, thus I am excited for it. Hopefully the missions are not over-long, and hopefully it doesn't murder my poor battery =|
If it is handled as well as FEH is, I will likely replace FFBE with this. FFBE has been so mismanaged it is astounding it still exists. (too bad too, it was neat and ive played since release)
