If you enjoy dual-stick shooters & dragons you’re in for a real treat with a new Android game called MiniDragon from Madman Theory Games. If you’ve ever wondered how a dragon would fare against Zombies and Plants you’ don’t have to wonder anymore…
MiniDragon is a crazy dual-stick shooter that lets you control a lil’ fire breathing dragon who just wants to stay alive. To do so you’ll have to burn everything in sight, this is made easy (and fun) by dual-stick controls and an inexhaustible source of fire. The game’s tagline is “What is green – is bad!” and I’d have to agree as you’ll want to quickly kill anything that’s green and moving or you’ll risk becoming overwhelmed rather quickly. MiniDragon offers up 8 different customizations for your dragon, 6 arenas, 7 different weapons, and 3 power-ups. The numbers may seem small, but the developers are promising more arenas, weapons, and power-ups in an upcoming free update.
Verdict
Due to the infamous (and dreadful) 15-minute refund window I was only able to give MiniDragon a brief run, but really liked what I saw. The graphics look great and the game runs like a scalded dog on my new Transformer 300t… to say the action is fast & furious would be a bit of an understatement. There isn’t a free version available at this time, but if you’re in the market for a new dual-stick shooter or just like Dragons MiniDragon is a no-brainer. You can check out Madman Theory Games MiniDragon on Google Play for $1.26.
