<A href="http://www.worthplaying.com/">Worthplaying</a> has a <a href="http://www.worthplaying.com/article.php?sid=15909&mode=thread&order=0">preview</a> of <A href="http://www.primal-soft.com/">I of the Dragon</a> for those looking for a really, really different kind of action CRPG. Here's a clip:
<br>
<br>
<blockquote>As far as the story itself goes, your dragon is essentially the chosen one whose destiny is to fulfill a prophecy of saving the human race from hordes of strange creatures that are infesting the land. Guided by various NPCs along the way, your objective is every area is to exterminate all of the local monster lairs while defending and constructing towns. If a town is not present in an area destroyed monster lairs will reappear and begin to spawn monsters again, so clearing out an area has to be done within a vague timeframe before lairs start to reappear. Once all lairs are leveled a town can be built, which is done simply by going to the magic town beacon and pressing "B". Every once in a while you will be tasked to kill a powerful monster, which while they do deal and take much more damage than their smaller brethren the same tactics to defeat them apply.</blockquote>

I really hope the town dynamic of the game is better than how it sounds in the above.

We cover this game? I've seen lots of news about it at other sites, but I assumed it's not RPGy enough because no one else covered it, and I was too lazy to check it...

Sounds...innovative. I don't know, the premise is interesting, but I'm a bit skeptical of this game's value as an RPG.

There's a demo on Gamer's Hell. Try that out and tell us what it's like - if you're willing. It's a few hundred megabytes large.

Yeah, except I hope this game doesnt give you infinite lives like Actraiser.

I tried the demo months ago. It wasn't bad, really. I made it to the second area where I got my ass instantly kicked by something really nasty at the very start of it. It's not the best example of a CRPG out there, but it's a nice diversion from most action CRPGs.
