I of the Dragon is a refreshing change from the normal action RPG formula, even though it has its own quirks and shortcomings. The story may be bland, and graphics may be dated, sometimes the gameplay can grow a bit stale, and there is limited replay value and no multiplayer mode. But the game’s subtle blending of action, strategy, and role-playing games is good, wholesome fun. And let’s face it: there is nothing that kicks more butt than being a dragon for a day.
