Das Drachenschwert

Enter Das Drachenschwert! A game that draws it's inspiration from MSDOS games, pulp fantasy, the Dungeon Synth genre of music, and talking in the character voice of a wise old man with a long beard (and a lot of stories to tell you about!).  

Das Drachenschwert is a two-player cooperative game with no Game Master. One player plays as The Warrior, an unlucky soul who has fallen into a cavern that they must escape. The other player plays as the The Dragon, who has been cursed to take the form of a sword. Together they will learn from one another and escape the ruins of The City. 

Das Drachenschwert is a Rondel game: player actions are enabled by the position of a character token on a Rondel (in this case a four-piece pie chart). It may take some getting used to, but the design intends to keep combat emotional and dynamic.

Please also enjoy my text-based visual art! It was a lot of fun to make and allowed me to put art in my game.
